If DC wants to truly differentiate themselves, they need to stop being a follower and start acting like a leader — I recently watched The Flash, which I really enjoyed. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was Michael Keaton’s Batman showing up (and later George Clooney’s). Didn’t Marvel do the exact same thing in Spiderman: No Way Home, with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield? I also recently watched Blue Beetle…

The surprising truth behind what it took for many famous people to achieve their dreams — We often think of celebrities as these perfect ethereal beings who can do no wrong. Outliers who from day one were blessed with insane levels of beauty, confidence and talent, preternaturally destined for insane wealth and fame. But the truth is that many, if not most, have had to work…

The huge disconnect between perception and reality not only harms women, it doesn’t do men any favors either — Pick up pretty much any magazine, watch nearly any TV commercial, or scroll through the majority of social media feeds, and you’ll see the same thing over and over again: impossibly skinny women. Whether they’re models, actresses or just “Insta-famous,” it’s a virtual smorgasbord of thinness. …

The final season is a hit with critics but is getting panned by regular viewers who are missing the point — I recently started watching the fourth and final season of the hit Netflix show, Sex Education. Once again, I immediately got sucked into it, and found myself deeply invested in the lives of its characters. At the same time, there was something about it that felt a bit, well…much. Not…

A list of things that really opened my eyes about life back home — I moved to Asia in 2016, and since 2012 have traveled extensively across the region. During my time here I’ve come to appreciate several things that we in the west, particularly in America, are lacking. I don’t mean to imply that Asia is better than the U.S., or that any…

Sometimes it can be just what the doctor ordered — Some people call it a one-night stand but we can call it paradise — Duran Duran, “Save a Prayer” You know those memes and tweets that start off with: Sure, sex is great, but have you ever _______?

Maybe it’s high time we save ourselves? — Before we get into this, I just want to start off by saying that I’m not some cineast asshole who looks down on this kind of stuff, or someone like Scorsese who famously said that “Marvel movies aren’t cinema.” I actually love superhero movies, and when a new one comes…

Why the future is brighter than you think — War in Ukraine, climate change, school shootings, MAGA rage Covid-19, Amy Coney, reproductive rights Clarence Thomas, Ginni Thomas, Elon Musk and Twitter drama Insurrection, mass inflation, Proud Boys starting fights We didn’t start the fire It was always burning, since the world’s been turning We didn’t start the fire No, we didn’t light…

This dark, complicated show is what good television is all about — I have a confession to make: I wasn’t planning on watching this show. Don’t get me wrong; I love me some A24, and I’m a big fan of Ali Wong’s comedy. Plus, like many people, I still haven’t gotten over Glenn’s (Steven Yeun’s) death on The Walking Dead. But after…
