I think it's safe to say this year was a little disappointing, but at least it wasn't all bad right? I mean usually, we at least get some great music to help us through the hard times. And while that's always true outside of the pop charts, it's not always true for the charts themselves. Honestly even outside of pop music, I found myself underwhelmed by what was out there this year. It's understandable...

Ranking the Disney Renaissance Movies (1989-1999)
Oh, the '90s. Today we know Disney as an industry juggernaut, who's pretty much bought their way to the top of Hollywood and the entertainment business with their massive success from their past. Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Fox, Muppets, ESPN and so much more are now a part of this company's...

Mulan (2020)
Mulan is the latest live-action remake of a beloved 1998 animated classic from the giant Disney. Originally set to release on March 9th of the year, but had to be pushed back for obvious reasons. At first, it seemed like it was going to be released theatrically later this year or next year in 2121,...

Bill & Ted Face the Music
It's been about half a year since I've written any movie reviews here. I think the reason is pretty obvious if you've lived through this year, that I just don't have enough free time... also all movies have been canceled and moved to next year or put into some movie release purgatory. Although...

Disney: The Art of Being (un)Original
Disney. The studio that's responsible for all your childhood memories. The studio that brought some of the most beautiful animations brought to the big screen and made us all fall in love with so many different characters and stories. At one point in time, Disney was releasing hit after hit and seemed unstoppable. That was in the late 80s and most of the 90s. Then came a slump in the later 90s and...

Alternative music in the Age of Corona
I figure these days it's hard to really stand out in the music world. With the rise of streaming comes the rise of the indie artist and the millions of songs you can browse through on Spotify or Apple Music and much like Netflix leaves us with so many choices that it ends up being difficult trying to find something new to enjoy. At least that's kind of a problem for me anyway. As someone who enjoys...

Modern Music in the Age of Corona
It's been a while since I've checked in on modern music, for good reason. Every time I take a peek at the Billboard Hot 100 I get a little sadder. So of course music, at least the pop charts, haven't really moved much recently. That may be because of all the delays in albums/singles thanks to this pandemic going on, though I don't fully understand that myself. It's true most artists if not all are...
