Is Duty After School Worth It? An Objective Evaluation
I remember the first time I stumbled upon Duty After School. It wasn’t through a friend or a recommendation, but rather through TikTok. It kept appearing on my “For You” page, and I couldn’t help but notice the dramatic scenes where an alien brutally murdered the kids. It got me intrigued, and I knew I had to find out more about this show.

Why Spider Riders Is Worth Your Time
If you were a Canadian kid in the mid-2000s, you might have seen a commercial, or even episodes, of a show called Spider Riders. A Canadian-Japanese anime, the show followed ordinary boy Hunter Steele (yes, it is the most protagonist-y name ever) falling into the Inner World, discovering a people at war with the evil insect-based Invectids, and giant battle spiders that partnered with brave heroes to defend Arachna from its foes. It seems, at first glance, generic if not downright silly.

The Dangers of AI
News of the Russo brothers helping develop AI that could create a full movie circulated the internet recently. The internet of course had many responses, most of which condemned the Russo brothers for being lazy, uncreative and sell outs. As a creative how could you even think that this is a good idea, something to put your weight behind? It's embarrassing. If you can so easily be replaced, how good are you really?

Fandom Toxicity
Every major film or TV project, every major musician, every piece of media have what is referred to as a fandom. Fandom is the very internet way to refer to the fan community of a thing. Whether it be a franchise or a particular actor, fandoms can be an amazing source of community and bonding. They can also be very toxic. I am personally a part of a lot of fandoms so let's take these one by one from the absolute worst to the best.

A Tale of a Few TV Shows
The late front singer for Linkin Park, Chester Bennington once belted out, “In the end, it doesn’t even matter….” And that is what happens with the finale of the show Snowfall (2017-23). The kingpin, Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) is reduced to a bum’s status and is shown to be never brought to justice as he should’ve been. Some would say that his selfishness brought him to this lowly state. Most people cannot find in their minds the proper role of selfishness in an individual’s life in art.

Riverdale
In a land of endless teen dramas writers and networks are constantly asking themselves, how do we keep audiences interested? Riverdale has kept audiences captivated for several too many seasons and the question is how? I think an important place to start is with the evolution of the teen drama.

Oversexualizing Teenagers
Teen dramas are and have always been a popular genre. Some of them, like Dawson’s Creek, go about their characters' romances in an honest and somewhat wholesome way. Others (and this is unfortunately the majority) like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Riverdale and most recently Euphoria have a habit of oversexualizing their teenage characters. Now this is wildly problematic for so so many reasons but the strongest of which is that this leads to real life consequences.
