We are currently living in a time of exceptional television, as very clearly evidenced by the presence of shows like Shōgun on our screens. This is not, however, that specific story’s first time being told the visual medium, as James Clavell’s books have been adapted once before. Based on the books by Clavell, which are in turn based on real-life events, Shōgun has become one of the most talked about series of 2024. With storylines of epic proportions, riveting dialogue, beautiful cinematography, and phenomenal acting, the show has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best shows currentl ..read more

The Mary Sue
by Charlotte Simmons
11h ago
In 2007, Michael Bay was given the keys to the Transformers franchise and went on to make five live-action movies over the next decade. This has made a lot of people very angry and has since been widely regarded as a bad move. I’m not going to beat around the bush here: There is absolutely, positively no space in which even the most shrewd commentator could parse the mostly stentorian mess of the Transformers film franchise with any degree of nuance worth exploring. You know what you signed up for by reading this; the first few are obvious, and all the rest are bashing their heads against one ..read more

Netflix Is Upping the Sibling Rivalry Game With ‘Black Rabbit’
The Mary Sue
by Charlotte Simmons

When I was a small child, I found that many of my interests both came by way and informed those of my brother. Whether it was Beyblades, action figures, or the computer whose time we constantly fought over, proximity to him was significant to my childhood identity, as I assume mine was to him. He and I are now, of course, at an age where our individual enterprises are existing on mostly independent levels, but what if they weren’t? Thanks to Black Rabbit, the upcoming miniseries from the duo of Jason Bateman and Jude Law, I’ll be able to live that possibility vicariously through Netflix, howe ..read more

Donald Trump is proving there’s no limit to the things he’ll say and do—no grift is beneath or beyond him. Case in point: he’s now selling his own Bibles to gullible supporters. Yes, truth is stranger than fiction, as Trump is indeed selling Bibles. Trump took to Truth Social to post a video hocking his new product: the God Bless The USA Bible. What makes this different from any regular bible you might ask? Not much. It comes with a copy of important American documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Pledge of Allegiance written out. The front cover is ..read more
