We’re halfway through 2024 and there are plenty of things to watch and plenty of people to talk about. But is it too message heavy? Too woke? The Boys and The Acolyte may let us know.

There is nothing quite like the first episode of a series to set things in motion. When I saw the first episode of Attack On Titan, I realized just how powerful an opening episode could be.

Disclaimer: I actually liked The Marvels. But I realized something as I listened to people talk about it: No one cared. 😕 While you might be thinking "Well I cared!", that's not good enough for a movie on this scale. One of the jobs of a creative is to make something that people care about. That person can be just you, but most often, it's hoped th…

Marvel’s Echo is in an interesting position where it needs to create a satisfactory re-introduction to the more grounded “Netflix Marvel” shows that it will apparently be building off of in the future. At only five episodes, and with a largely unheard of character, did it do it’s job? -- Short answer. I think it did. -------------------------------…

SMART Goals are often…dumb. They don’t apply to a lot of cases, and frustrate a lot of creative types. In case you’ve forgotten, here’s how they’re structured. S - Specific, M - Measurable, A - Actionable, R - Realistic, T - Timely The problems come from the fact that these criteria came from corporate logic and don't often apply to individuals. Si…

I don't feel I explained this well, but the mindset we have around delaying gratification is problematic. It seems like it would make sense, but isn't often your best choice.
