My Review of "Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm"
Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm has recently come out and quite strategically I might add. It was released a week or two before the 2020 American presidential elections. The previous movie had explored some of the social divides spread across America. He also pushed the envelope as to what is socially acceptable in American society. It was a pretty big turning point in pop culture when the first movie hit.

My Review of "The Boys: Season 2"
The Boys: Season 2 starts off just where it ended off last season. In the first season Hughie and the rest of the gang are running off as fugitives. Their fearless leader had disappeared to find his estranged wife raising his enemies child. Homelander seemed to be pretty much unstoppable by the end of that season. It was kind of a really bleak ending but yet it still contained so much potential. That's why this cliffhanger worked so well.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix Feels Pretty Good
Netflix, Poster My study of American History makes me no stranger to the 60s and the Vietnam War. That said, I know very few details about the Chicago 7. In fact, I didn’t even know that Abbie Hoffman was among those on trial. At the same time, I’ve also learned that learning history from the movies is a poor substitute for understanding. So I was reluctant to take my curriculum from the Netflix movie, but with some encouragement, I gave it a go.

‘Megamind’ Is the Best of Both Worlds
Megamind was so underrated when it first came out and it still feels that way today. I can understand why: DreamWorks tends to make pretty juvenile films that target kids with potty humor. Megamind was a breath of fresh air in that endless stream of nonsense.

My Review of "Jexi"
Jexi is a Amazon Prime exclusive movie that came out back in 2019. The whole movie kind of reminded me of a comedic version of the movie Her that came out back in 2014. Ultimately these films are miles apart from one another but there are some similarities between the two that I couldn't deny.
