SSDGM: One Girl's Journey Into True Crime
It’s the year 2017 and if you don’t have at least one friend who won’t shut up about true crime, I’m not sure where you’ve been. From television to movies to podcasts, it’s undeniable that true crime is absolutely having a moment in pop…
McDonald's Exceptionalism
McDonald’s has always had a special place in my heart. Even now as an adult when I know there’s better food out there both in taste and in health merits but something about McDonald’s keeps bring me back. The reason for this has always been greater than…
I May Have Unknowingly Inspired Baby Driver
I know it's impossible to say because I've never met the gentleman but Edgar Wright wrote Baby Driver for me. It takes almost presidential levels of narcissism to believe an amazing director's ambitious concept project he has dedicated a large portion of his life to is made is for you,…
Baby Driver Wants You to Like It
There’s a lot to like about Baby Driver. It’s impeccably shot and edited, the music is very good, the characters in the movie are all very cool, and it features the best car chase scenes in years. What I liked the most about it though is how the…

'What am I missing here?' or 'Watching Win it All'
Win it All is a 2017 release available now on Netflix, directed by Joe Swanberg starring Jake Johnson and written by both of them. Coming into the movie I was familiar with Swanberg's first movie "Drinking Buddies" which was unique in that the dialogue in it was completely…
Logan and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad genre

Super Hero movies don’t deserve undying support
The thing about Batman v Superman At some point we have to stop allowing “comic book” movies to get a pass simply because we’re seeing one of our favorite characters on the screen. Before I go on you may be asking , Who is We? We are the kids who…
