It's Still In The Air Tonight
Phil Collins's smash hit, In the Air Tonight, was the perfect piece to use in one of the most intense series premieres in television history, Miami Vice. The slow burn to the rhythmic pick-up in the beat, the words perfectly fitting the action, it's never been done any better.

Mr. Sunshine
This first encounter with a Korean drama created a lifetime fan. A dynamic period piece set during the late Joseon Dynasty with an amazing screenplay, costumes, cinematography, and casting. This film weaves the tale of a beautiful, complicated love affecting the lives of several well-defined characters. A masterful, absorbing film.

Outlander
An epic tale of time travel. While it’s true a certain red-haired, kilt wearing man with a thick Scottish brogue piqued my interest, the drama is a fine one that covers various spans in time, and its cinematography is awe-inspiring. Well worth any Sassenach's leap through the stones to watch.

Sharp Objects - A Jagged Book That Takes Me Back
I knew it before it was a show; as a book. A story as bittersweet as a razor's cut tucked between the pages. I too took knives to my skin; cut words like "Worthless" into my flesh... I felt kinship.

Every Reality Show Ever
Season after endless grueling season, groups of self-important, horny arrogant brats fight to stay alive in dumbass competitions for the love of money. Yes, money. They don’t really give a damn about the bachelor/bachelorette. They just want to get laid - and to win.

Disney-?
Since Disney+’s launch and the capitalistic acquisition of media outlets, Disney has sacrificed quality for quantity. Sure, Disney had past sloppy VHS/DVD-only releases, but their theatrical productions were still enjoyable. The most grievous examples are the Star Wars franchise (vii-ix trilogy with its director debacle) and the chaotic MCU Phase-5.
