by Miller C. Lashbrook I have gotten very behind on watching all of the dramas getting attention this year, but after seeing that Andrew Garfield was nominated for an Emmy for Under the Banner of Heaven, I knew I had to check it out.

Movie Review: NOPE
by Miller C. Lashbrook NOPE is a piece of art. Watching this movie was like being chased through a wonderful art installation. As you move from room to room and learn more the story puts itself together and makes more sense, but you are also afraid for your life. If you are someone who enjoysContinue reading “Movie Review: NOPE”

MCU Review: Ms. Marvel – Episode 5
by Miller C. Lashbrook Episode five of Ms. Marvel is all about filling in the gaps in the backstory of Kamala’s family and the partition of 1945.

Comic Review: Black Panther: World of Wakanda (2017)
By Miller C. Lashbrook Black Panther: World of Wakanda is the perfect companion piece to Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther (2016) storyline, “A Nation Under Our Feet” (Read my review of it here).

Comic Review: Black Panther (2016) – “A Nation Under Our Feet”

Ta-Nehisi Coates brings his experience with real-world politics to Wakanda for a politically, philosophically, and spiritually intriguing story for T’Challa, that at the end of the day is still character-driven. There is a bit of continuity that leads into this run on BlackContinue reading “Comic Review: Black Panther (2016) – “A Nation Under Our Feet””
