Atlanta Season 2 Episode 6: “Teddy Perkins” U Mad? Thursday’s latest entry in Atlanta‘s second season may be the best yet. “Teddy Perkins” is a solo tale starring the king of vibes, Darius.

It doesn’t have the big budget of The Avengers or The Dark Knight and there aren’t any Earth-hating Gods or aliens, but 2015’s The Subjects does bring a unique angle to the question “what superpower would you want to have?” When seven people – oh wait… 8 people (ya gotta watch that Phil fellow) – show up…
It’s finally here! Avengers: Infinity War is the cherry on top of the industry defining treat that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Chapter Thirteen “It’s Time” I look at Luke with disdain. I follow him through the rain at a rapid pace and don’t let him off the hook. The crumbled hut sits lifelessly behind me. The hut that had just been cradling such a tender connection—something I had never experienced before. Not like that. Luke quickens…
While not much is known in regards to plot in the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff Venom, and so far we only have the teaser trailer to base our excitement on, this is one character that many of us have been waiting for years to see properly embodied. After Spider-Man 3, we were assured time and again that Venom…
I’ve been waiting years, decades even, for a decent adaptation of the timeless classic by Madeleine L’Engle and I finally got one. I read the series of books several times growing up and I’ve often wondered why, with all of the remakes and reboots, we had only been presented with a made-for-TV movie in 2003…
Fresh Cut Episode five opens in a simple, polished strip mall barbershop. Razors and clippers abound and a Barack Obama portrait hangs on the wall. Paper Boi sits idly in a barber chair. He desperately needs a fresh-cut. Enter Bibby, wise-talking, chatter-mouth barber played by comedian Robert Powell III. Bibby, while simultaneously on his bluetooth,…

Chapter 12 “Desperation” No matter how hard I try to focus on anything, all my mind can settle on is that alluring spark that burned in Rey’s eyes when I saw her last. The light that flickered into life when we watched each other reach for the other’s hand. A beautiful beacon calling me…
In my last article regarding the Mandela Effect, I barely scratched the surface of the “changes” that have been reported by so many different people. The Lindbergh baby, Al Capone’s death, Ed McMahon and his disappearing career, the Egyptian pyramids, and heck – even the namesake of this phenomenon, could quite likely be things that…
Let’s Get Weird Episode four of Atlanta is markedly weirder than those before it. If you thought season one had plenty of bizarre, surreal imagery, season two, especially last Thursday’s “Helen,” promises a departure into dreamlike territory. Think Raymond Roussel’s Locus Solus and Andre Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism. Back when Donald Glover and company were promoting…
