Comedy
Recently I have been watching a lot of comedy. Like a lot. Like way more than usual. This is probably not surprising to anyone as we are all home a lot more at the moment, and watching more movies and TV shows than ever. I am usually primarily a comedy kinda of girl, sticking more to the laugh-out-loud funny, light-hearted, 22 minute TV shows. They help my brain to just shut off for a while and are super bingeable, which let's face it, is a quality we have all come to love and appreciate. Lately I feel like I've heard a lot of comedians make sarcastic jokes about their work being "really important" or "essential". I get what they mean, and I appreciate the joke. But it also made me think. While things that just seem to be funny, sometimes downright ridiculous, and staying primarily at surface level are thought to have no real depth or purpose, I think now more than ever they are in fact very important.

Phoenix Rising
Once upon a time... In a land called “America” on a planet named “Earth”, chaos consumed the local civilization. Their society had been built on a crumbling foundation of greed, where few thrived while the many struggled to survive. The societal tension that had been building for generations had finally cracked the surface. Unfolding like a big box-office dystopian thriller, this world was changing.

A Pandemic Pause
We've all been hitting the pause button on life for the past few months. Well, for at least some parts. Entertainment seems to be the biggest thing to go. It is pretty much the same for everyone. Whether you are rich or poor, working from home or still working, still getting a paycheck or not, there is nowhere to go.

Chechen Mobsters, Good Depictions of Addiction, and Discussions of the Metaphysical
Barry I’m going to start off this list with what is my favorite show streaming right now: Barry. Despite Bill Hader, completely worthless Chechen mobsters, a feral Tae Kwon Do child one episode and an amazing story that constantly switches between laugh out loud and amazing drama? Maybe you haven’t heard of Barry, but the show is an absolute phenomenon. While it initially starts off looking bleak as Bill Hader, staring as depressed hitman Barry, is trudging through life with no motivation, that all changes when Barry enters an acting class. The show soon follows Barry having found a new purpose in life, and struggles to put his past behind him. The show poses the question of redemption, after all can a man capable of murdering people for money have good in him? While Bill Hader is a known comedian, we find out just how amazing of an actor, screenwriter, and even director he is in the nonstop adventure that the show provides. While the audience roots for Barry throughout the show, his past continues to follow him. While the show is critically acclaimed with multiple awards for acting and screenwriting, too often I find people who have no idea what the show even is. Honestly I consider this an absolute shame. It has some of the greatest examples of dramatic irony you could find online, poses very real moral questions, and can even be extremely relatable and introspective. Discussing how people glorify their own story, try to move on, and too often have their past define them.
