    The Wild Robot

    I am not really the type of person to cry during movies and books. Sure I sometimes get sad, but I never usually react visibly. However, when it came to the Wild Robot, not only was I crying at the end of the movie, but also at the halfway point. I didn’t know a movie had the capability to affect me this much until the Wild Robot.  The music was one of the most memorable parts. The notes have been engrained in my head like a Hans Zimmer soundtrack, which surprised me so much, because this is a kids movie. Like who spent this much time perfecting the theme to…

    Mr. Robot

    This was such a goofy show. Computer science is not an area of interest for me, so I never expected I would be this entertained by a show about cybersecurity and hacking. I just finished watching the first season of Mr. Robot on Netflix, and even though it was really technical and computer science heavy, I found it so entertaining. I feel like the show makes really good use of an unreliable narrator; that’s a really good technique to keep the viewer guessing at all times. I don’t even want to reveal some of the plot twists at the end, because it’s something you have to watch for your self. The…

    Arcane

    My number one show on Netflix has always been The Umbrella Academy. For so long, no other series has come close to topping it. However, after watching Arcane, I refuse to believe that anything on this planet could surpass the absolute genius this show is. I watched the first season of Arcane on my iPad during a road trip; I thought it was fine, and left it at that. But when the new season came out, I watched the first season again and I appreciated so much more about it. The music, the color choices, the animation; it was all perfect, and I couldn’t look away. Somehow, the second season…

    Dead Boy Detectives

    An unhinged yet bingeable spinoff from the Sandman Universe that is so absurd that it’s entertaining I am always on the hunt for new Netflix shows to binge-watch, and I was pretty excited for “Dead Boy Detectives” to arrive! I haven’t watched the Sandman series yet, though I have read the comics and absolutely love them. This show follows the ghosts of two dead teens, Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne who run a detective agency to help other ghosts get closure and move on to their afterlives. They are in hiding and constantly on the run from Death, and a strange case leads them to meet Crystal, psychic who lost…

    Dune: Part Two

    The two and a half hour fever dream I don’t regret watching. Welcome! I just happened to watch Dune: Part Two last weekend after many months of waiting, and I have a lot to say about it! This blog does have some spoilers for the movie, so if you haven’t watched it and are interested in doing so, I do go into a lot of specifics. So besides that, let’s get started! As a sequel, Dune: Part Two is a very different experience when compared to the first part. Personally, I thought Dune was amazing! The story was so intriguing with all of its conflicts about the spice trade, interplanetary…
