It’s always a bittersweet feeling when, on the last day of a con, you head out of the building for the last time and start the long walk back to your car, or the bus, or whatever mode of transportation you used to get there. Your heart is full because
I love the story of Dune so, so much — which is not really a sentence I would have anticipated writing when I first tried reading the book about a decade ago. For whatever reason, I didn’t really connect with Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel back then. Maybe it wasn’t
I feel like a large portion of my Geek experience in recent history has been spent waiting for Dune. First, Dune: Part One was delayed from its planned 2020 release to 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, Dune: Part Two was delayed from 2023 to 2024, due to the
A new year, a new start, and a new streaming service! As I mentioned in my last blog, I’m switching up my media consumption habits this year, and I’m signing up for just one streaming service at a time so I can really focus in on whatever series I’m currently
Happy New Year! 2023 had a lot of ups and downs in terms of pop culture, and I’m looking forward to a fresh start and to what’s ahead. This is the year we (hopefully! finally!) get to see Dune: Part 2 and my regional comic con is celebrating its 25th

Wonka Initially, I wasn’t really interested in a Willy Wonka prequel. But when I heard that the same creative team behind the Paddington movies was involved, I was immediately on board. Wonka is a thoroughly charming, musical family film that’s the perfect sort of cozy, feel-good movie to watch during
November turned out to be a bit of a whirlwind for our family, though in the best way possible. We adopted a baby boy the day before Thanksgiving, and I’ve been getting lots of snuggles while catching up on streaming content! Each one of these shows probably deserves its own
World War II changed our planet forever, and the catastrophic events of this global conflict continue to impact us today, 80 years later. We all know that fact, having read about World War II in school history books growing up. However, it’s one thing to read about the facts surrounding
As a 30-something millennial, I’ve now officially arrived at the stage of life where the pull of pop culture nostalgia is hitting me pretty hard. I have fond memories of the franchises that ruled the box office in the mid to late 2000s and early 2010s, when I was a
It’s been a while since I walked out of a theater after watching a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and found myself feeling absolutely delighted. As a reviewer, I don’t like to focus on the negative, but at least for me, too many of the recent Marvel movies have missed the
