Movie Review: THE PHOTOGRAPH Starring LaKeith Stanfield, Issa Rae, Chelsea Peretti, Teyonah Parris
I’m going to be frank with you, movies like Stella Meghie’s The Photograph put me in a difficult position when it comes to writing about them. It’s not necessarily a bad movie per say, but it’s not very good either. I personally could not find any ways of connecting with it at all. The Photograph […]
Movie Review: ‘Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn’
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (which moving forward will simply be referred to as Birds of Prey,) is the latest installment in the DC extended universe. The film also marks the first major release of 2020 in the superhero/comic adaption genre, putting some extra weight on its shoulders. While […]
Review: TJ Miller Stand Up at Helium Comedy Club in St. Louis
Over the weekend, actor and comic TJ Miller performed six sets over three nights at Helium Comedy Club, spanning from Thursday through Saturday. Performing to sold-out crowds, Miller was no stranger to Helium or St. Louis for that matter, as he always makes sure to hold a performance each year in the St. Louis area, […]
Theatre Review: JERSEY BOYS at The Fabulous Fox – Oh, What a Night!
Some of the most fun musicals out there are jukebox musicals. You go to hear music that you love – while being entertained by a fun story that pieces all of the songs together. What I adore about Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, is that the musical lets the […]
PAX South 2020: Meet the*gameHERS, A Community For Women Gamers
When I first got an email from the*gameHERS about an interview at PAX South, I was a bit confused. I had to wonder why an all-female gaming group would want me to interview them. The usual assumptions crossed my mind. Could it have been an email blast to the media list? Could they have thought […]
Theatre Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Will Have You Dying From Laughter

The story is based on the novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal written by Roy Horniman in 1907. Steven Lutvak (Music and Lyrics) and Robert L. […]
PAX South: THE ARCADE CREW – YOUNG SOULS & KUNAI
While I love huge epic games with realistic graphics, I’ve always had a soft spot for simple adventure and platformer games. Being born in the late 80’s, I was exposed to all of the first gaming systems on the market. My first console was a Sega Genesis, where I was hooked on games like Sonic […]
PAX South 2020: Hands-On With EVERSPACE 2
Everspace 2 is another game that got me really excited for PAX South. The first Everspace slipped past me when it was released, but I am so happy that I discovered and tested the sequel. I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi and starship combat games, and Everspace 2 hit ALL the right buttons. This […]
PAX South: WRATH: AEON OF RUIN Review
The second game we played at the 3D Realms booth was Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, by KillPixel Games. I originally hadn’t planned on testing this out, but I kept catching myself mesmerized by gamers blasting through waves of undead monstrosities. Wrath is a dark-fantasy horror FPS that lives in the same vein as Doom and […]
Michael Rapaport Talks Sports, Film, Politics Before Stopping at Helium Comedy Club in March
Actor, director, writer, producer, and podcaster Michael Rapaport can now add stand-up comedian to his repertoire. The 49-year-old New Yorker has nearly done it all. Odds are you recognize him from his role as Gary on the hit show Friends, or maybe his role as Dick Ritchie in True Romance. Rapaport has also lent his […]
