Telling Stories One Day at A Time
Before I get into the meat of this long-overdue Media Minute, I want to take this space to announce that I now co-host a podcast about movies! My friend Corey and I have launched “And the Award Goes To…”, a podcast that focuses on the Academy Awards. Listen on Spotify or wherever you find your … Continue reading Media Minute – Lockdown Edition! May 2020
It’s 2019, and we love the Middle Ages. I mean, think about it. What was one of the biggest TV series of the decade? Game of Thrones. Actors sporting various accents, wielding big weapons, and looking greasy. And we lapped up the swords-and-sorcery of it all. The question is, why? People will say they love GOT for several … Continue reading Movie Minute: “The King” is a gritty, moody epic with a stone-cold heart
And now for something a little different. I’ve done “Media Minutes” before, so think of this as a version of that, but just for one thing. I’ll probably do this for movies mostly, but who knows?

Everyone’s depressed with the malaise of the post-Christmas blues, so they go see the holiday hitmakers … Continue reading Media Minute – January 14, 2019
New year, new media. There’s a lot to be excited about in 2019. So many memes not yet created by bored 10th graders taking a break from Fortnite. So many Indie films that your parents will never watch because they look “too weird.” And probably a lot of hit singles that may or may not … Continue reading Media Minute: What I’ve Enjoyed This Week
