Back in 2015, a new Star Wars trilogy was started by the big corporation: Disney. This was to be the final three chapters of the Skywalker story that started all the way back in 1977. The characters we all loved back in the day were all coming back to reprise their roles and pass the baton off to new...

Best/Worst Songs of 2019
We're just a month away from the end of the year and also the end of the decade (at least when I started writing this). Yeah, the decade went by pretty fast and this year went by even faster. Music is often categorized by decades and over time we like to look back and see what kind of music defined the decade. We make fun of the terrible music people used to like back in the day or argue that music...

A Look Back: 2 0 1 4
Welcome to 2014, a year that definitely happened four years ago. I swear, listening to all the big songs from this year, I honestly couldn't believe that 2014 wasn't that long ago. A lot of the big hits from this year just sound so dated and feel like they came out at least 15 years ago. Maybe you'll...

Trying to Understand Modern Music
With 2019 only a few months away from being over and the decade coming to a close, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to catch up on what's going on with the music scene right now. No better way to do that than by listening to the Billboard Hot 100 and seeing what's popular in the USA right now. I normally try to keep up with what's happening in the mainstream, but this year I really lost interest...

Going back through 2012 last time was pretty enjoyable. There were a surprising amount of fun songs from that year and the bad songs weren't as bad as I thought they might have been. 2013 has its share of good pop songs, but the bad songs really stood out this year. It was actually kind of hard to even narrow it down to ten bad songs, forcing me to leave out some songs I really can't stand. Among...

Ad Astra
I've been craving a good sci-fi film for a while, feels like it's been a while since there's been a good space focused movie like this one. Ad Astra is a movie that promises to be the same caliber as great space movies like "Gravity" and "Interstellar". The movie stars Brad Pitt and is directed...

A Look Back: 2 0 1 2
2012 was believed by dozens to be the end of the world, the year that earth would explode and the sun would come crashing into us and end all of life as we know it or something like that. That didn't actually happen obviously (probably), but it did inspire a great year of pop music... or at least that's...
