When you watch an episode of Starz hit television show, Outlander, you are treated to an, edited for time, version of "Skye Boat Song" performed by Bear McCreary feat. Raya Yarbrough. This is a song that was written about a historical event, and is considered a folk song in Scotland that has been recorded a number of times since it was written. Written in the 19th century by Sir Harold Boulton, the song's lyrics told the story of the escape of Scotland's Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Isle of Skye following the Jacobite Revolution's defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So we’ve done season 1 and talked about the major decisions that moved the plot along in the first season. And these videos are going to get a little longer as the show goes on because the subject matter also gets heavier. And some of the decisions that are made hit really close to home for me because I am also someone who has struggled with my mental health for quite a while now. And I think I’m going to do BoJack Horseman in congruence with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I do see a lot of parallels that I want to talk about. So with that, season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

BoJack Horseman
The second season begins with a young BoJack watching Secretariat's interview while his parents scream at each other. The first day of filming doesn’t go as planned and really the amount of layers to this is amazing, there is the fact that he was a comedy sitcom star and maybe that mean he really isn’t a good actor, then there's the fact that he’s trying so hard to be a changed man and therefore he can’t go to the place he needs to go emotionally in order to play this part.

Is "One Piece" Super Deep Or Is It Taken Out Of Context?
The other day, I came across a clip on my Instagram feed about a group of guys talking about how One Piece is a super political leftist anime. Naturally, I got curious as hell and tracked down the source to get the full context and while I can see how their interpretation of One Piece has a lot of political themes, the thing that interested me the most was how one of them said that it was the author’s intention of making it this political. So, in this article, let’s explore whether or not if One Piece is intentional super deep and political or if people are taking it way out of context.

WGA Strike
Most of us spend our time relaxing watching TV or movies. I mean I’ve built my whole internet presence off of reviewing, critiquing and analyzing media. Our current society thrives off of Hollywood. Comic cons, show specific fan conventions, tv shows, and movies very few people in this country go a day without relying on Hollywood for relaxation and entertainment. But how does that entertainment come to us? Does it magically appear on our screens? Do producers and studio execs come up with these stories that we love? No writers do. Writers are the backbone of Hollywood and we owe them our praise, and Hollywood owes them proper compensation.
