Andor Is One of the Few Disney Shows to Get Fascism Right
It’s hard to understate how shocked and happy I am that Andor exists. I have been banging a drum for years that Disney has been putting out programming that often appropriates the aesthetic of social change and revolution while advancing pretty regressive narratives (see my take on Black Panther and She-Hulk as examples).

Dragon Age: Absolution - a review
In an earlier review of mine, I stated that Arcane, the animated show based on League of Legends is the best video game adaptation to this day. What's more, it's one of the best shows, animated or otherwise, that aired in the last couple of years. Netflix really outdid itself with this one.

Pinocchio Movie Review
Since his creation in the late 1800s, the wooden figurine who dreams of being a real boy has starred in many highly recognisable stories. Many adaptations, especially the Disney version from 1940, set the blueprint for how the tale played out. In 2022, a modern version of Pinocchio accomplishes what many of its contemporaries missed; imbuing every component with a great sense of pathos.

My Review of "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Season 2)"
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Season 2) has wrapped up in 2022. I have to admit I did like the first season but I wasn't too sure what was in store for this second season. It took them 2 years for them to come out with this second season afterall. Then again you can't blame them since everyone was going through the pandemic.

My Review of "Batman Returns"
Batman Returns came out back in 1992. At the time this was the long awaited sequel to the blockbuster original Batman (1989) movie. The anticipation for this movie was pretty big and everyone had high hopes. I remember watching this movie back in the day thinking wow this was the same but very different from the first movie.

Stan Lee
I had trouble thinking of someone notable who I would not only be able to find a biography on, but also a person that I would enjoy reading a biography about. However, I have finally landed on a biography of Stan Lee, the man who made Marvel one of the biggest names in modern American culture. The title of the Biography is “Stan Lee: The Man Behind Marvel” which covers his upbringing in depression era America and chronicles his life events and accomplishments. One major developmental theory I would like to include in this project is the Nature vs Nurture theory. Stan Lee grew up in depression era America but became one of the most influential men of modern times. I believe that Nature/Nurture debate would be a great fit for this project.

The Mole: The Netflix Reboot
If you're unfamiliar with The Mole, I implore you to check out my previously published article here on Vocal detailing the early 2000s family whodunit show. It was ahead of its time, cryptic, at times hilarious, and borderline reality show perfection.
