Introduction: *This is a guest post put together by Christina Amy Guglielmon. Remember the excitement of listening to a new vinyl or CD album, listening to every track in order, feeling and sensing the flow of one song to the next, and–if you particularly were into CDs–flipping through that music packet to pour over the…
Introduction: By now, pretty much everybody who wanted to avoid spoilers did so successfully or failed earlier than this article. Still, guess I should start with a warning: CONTAINS SPOILERS.

Introduction: In the interest of keeping this spoiler free, I’ll keep my comments as general as possible and narrow it down to some questions. Is this movie worth watching? Yes, Infinity War hits a lot of the same vibes as most of the Marvel movies. Moments of seriousness get broken with well-timed sprinkles of humor,…
Introduction: Typically, I like to start with a picture of the item, but this time, you’re gonna have to scroll down to see what I’m talking about because this site does not want me publishing new pictures this second.

Despite kind of just…
Another Neat Entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Summary: Prince T’Challa becomes king, but he doesn’t find that easy by any stretch. Facing threats without and within, the young king has a tumultuous introduction to his new life. Additional Comments: – It’s a beautiful movie, though I guess it should be with the…
3.0/5 Mixed Bag of Short Stories Summary: The first and second stories kind of blended in together. I had to restart the audiobook to even remember what the first one was about. I guess I should probably evaluate them separately because they’re very different tales. Additional Comments: – In the Business: 3/5 I totally…
