When I first watched Big Bang Theory, I felt very seen in the main character, Sheldon. A character who is very smart, needs organization, and values routine in everyday life. I caught myself relating to a lot of the things that he “had” to do to feel comfortable, like knocking...
The independent animation industry has for decades struggled under the thumb of corporate entertainment companies. However, the finale of a popular animated web series has many confident that it will be the industry’s best success to date. The Amazing Digital Circus is an Australian adult animated web series created by...
Whether you know him as the famous character of Domingo or the underrated and my personal favorite character, Joaquín Antonio González Hernández Suárez, you know and love Marcello Hernández. Joining the long-running show “Saturday Night Live” or SNL for the 48th season, Hernández has skyrocketed to fame and glory on...
We’re taking a trip back to 2008 when American viewers got to witness an animated, PG—or at least for the most part—version of the reality competition show Survivor. The animated series was, in a nutshell, a carbon copy of the hit reality show, and it gave younger viewers an early...
Dating is hard enough, but for someone with autism, it’s a whole other thing. The show Love on a Spectrum follows several people looking for love and seeking a relationship. The reason why it’s such a good autism representation is that it doesn’t filter out the so-called “bad” parts of...

Ashtray killed, Fezco shot. Rue (hopefully) sober, ended relationship with Jules. Cassie’s memorable outburst and Maddy chasing her, a silent moment in the bathroom.

The evening of March 15, 2026, saw the 98th Academy Awards for the Oscars! And I know I am a little late to the party when I say this but… Wow. History was made that night. With “Sinners”, “KPop Demon Hunters”, and “One Battle After Another” 2026 has seen many...
Nothing like hearing a Scottish chef scream in your ear and calling you an idiot after you undercook a platter of fish that is about to be served to a family of four—or the same chef telling you to piss off after you make a costly mistake that causes the...
