Recently I have been revisiting a sitcom that I used to love but, funnily enough, never finished. The last season of the show dropped during a hectic period of my life and by the time I had, well time, to watch it, I had lost the plot. But thanks to ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 25, 2023
Ok so here we are! Let’s get down into the weeds with Typical Strange’s TK!

Being Inclusive vs. Being Authentic

You Kids Are Testing My Limits
Banes at 12:00AM, March 2, 2023

The third and possibly final volume of the Guardians of the Galaxy films is coming out later this year. Or next year. Or whatever.
