I’ll be honest, I was getting a little bored with Marvel. I thought the studio hit its peak with The Avengers and all the movies following it were good, but very cookie-cutter and safe. Sure Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) was great, but that’s because it was different than anything Marvel had previously done. Now, with Captain America: Civil War, Marvel has created its most epic and ambitious film ever and also one of the studio’s finest. After a…

I don’t usually post things about T.V. Mainly because I watch too many movies and don’t have enough time to watch all the shows that are out there. I do watch my fair share though and one of the ones I watched on the regular was the sketch comedy show Key & Peele. This is best sketch comedy show since Chapelle Show in the early 2000’s. It was brilliant, hilarious, and a great mix of social and…
