Get Back
In this piece I take a look at Peter Jackson's fly on the wall documentary series The Beatles: Get Back. Spoiler alert: The Beatles were pretty good.

Rogue Notes: Apr. 16, 2021 – School stuff, D&D, Lizard v. Monkay and Nobody
In this first edition of Rogue Notes (a hopefully regular weekly grab bag of topics) I talk about my schooling, getting into TTRPG's, getting back into video editing, and give some quickie thoughts on Godzilla vs Kong and Nobody (there be spoilers on this one)
Hamilton Act One (The Awesome Mix)
I wrote a thing where I take a DEEP dive into Hamilton Act One. I talk about the play, its positives, its shortcomings, the history behind it, and what the story of Alexander Hamilton has to offer in 2020. I also talk about LBJ's junk.
Hamilton: Setting The Stage
I wrote a thing about seeing Hamilton for the first time. I dig into the way politics have changed since the play's debut (and how it affects the viewing experience) and look at what it still has to offer in the age of Trump.

I wrote a thing talking about the increasingly complex storytelling of the Toy Story franchise and what make Woody such a great character. Contains spoilers for Toy Story 4.
Hollyweird Ending
I wrote a thing untangling my feelings about Quentin Tarantino and his most recent film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
