Cobra Kai
This show has been absolutely incredible. From a humbling start on Youtube Red, to finishing on top on Netflix on their terms. This show has found great ways to blend old and new, stay fresh, and honor their roots while adapting to the times and making great, relevant social commentary.

Critique: A Song of Ice and Fire
A testament to the belief that quantity cannot beat quality, George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is full of details and information that bog readers down rather than contribute to worldbuilding, plot advancement, and maintaining character development instead of deciding to throw it away in the end.

Barbie: Not For All Ages
An explosion of pink and feminism, of equality that might be truly equal one day. Filled with inappropriate jokes and nostalgia, this is not your daughter’s Barbie movie. So please, do not bring your young children to this movie and then complain about it; it is rated PG-13, after all.

MrBeast AKA MrMoney
YouTube's biggest name. I must say this guy could as well be the face of the entire platform! From his challenges to giving out wads of cash, this guy is so rich, he is giving it all away! This makes me ponder how does MrBeast do his taxes? I bet his accountants are losing their minds as I write these words.

"The Lighthouse", a bite-sized critique. Second Place in Critique Challenge.
At the A24 logo: your eyes roll, mine light up. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are weird, gross, old-timey men. They're perfect. It gets trippy; a love letter to Weird fiction. The end, an allusion, on the nose. Call me pretentious, it's right up my alley. I own the Blu-Ray.

Harry Potter
The most popular book in modern literature owes its success to a magical fantasy story of wizardry, good and evil, innocence and experience, and ultimately, life and death. Harry's story teaches us invaluable lessons about the importance of persistence, never ever giving up, and loyalty, staying true to your friends.

The Uglies Series Review
The Uglies is a young adult dystopian series with a total of four books. It has a satisfying ending without having the characters suddenly act out of character. It also has a love triangle that is not frustrating because, given the circumstances, it makes sense. I highly recommend reading it!

The Exorcist
Youngster Linda Blair effectively portrays tortured Irish Catholic preadolescent Reagan MacNeill in the movie “The Exorcist”. Diabolically set, close to the America’s governing heartbeat the domestic sacramental war pitting priests against evil forces rocks both furniture and mind as possession crosses the line, leaving the audience wanting guilty pleasure forgiveness.

Navigating Nature's Challenges
In the vast and intricate fabric of existence, humanity's role is akin to a delicate thread woven within nature's intricate tapestry. In this expansive weave, each strand unfurls lessons, trials, and occasionally, unanticipated perils. Among these challenges lies the formidable sting of the yellow-legged hornet—a creature of striking allure that wields the potential to disturb the harmony between humankind and the natural world.
