What’s new, folks?

My 2 Cents on Wonder Woman 1984
What’s new, folks? As someone who hasn’t subscribed to HBO Max, I had to patiently wait a few months to be able to rent Wonder Woman 1984, the divisive sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman.

What’s new, everyone? We’re continuing to live in the period where any variation on “Here’s the update on COVID-19” remains a common phrase in the news, along with “Here’s the report on America’s history of anti-Asian discrimination and violence.” In the meantime, we can enjoy Raya and The Last Dragon, the Disney Princess animated feature that … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Raya and The Last Dragon

What’s new, readers? Finally. After all this time, after the damn COVID pandemic, we can catch bullets and wait an hour for hot sauce in Tenet, the 2020 spy thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Soul
What’s new, readers? I mean, aside from the coup that President Trump’s MAGA minions attempted at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, a date that will go down in infamy for our nation.
