Colorfully eat your way through DC without breaking the bank

Since moving to Washington DC, finding a cheap, decent meal is pretty difficult. It is well known that the city offers many different specials throughout the week but most are during happy hour prime time: 4-7pm and I am LUCKY if I step foot in my apartment by 6:45 leaving my opportunity for a good […]

The Netflix Generation

  I am a proud member of the “Netflix” generation. The Netflix generation created the act of ‘binge-watching’ rather than waiting once a week for a new episode to begin like some pleb (my sincerest apologies to the generation before me). I can gear up, prepare as if I am about to hibernate for the […]

War of Substance vs Spectacle

Star Wars may have created the modern blockbuster film franchise, however, Planet of the Apes (nine years prior) was truly the first attempt at one. A lubricous concept at first glance, but one which led to a film executed with class, wisdom, warning, and charm. Known most for its unforgettable twist ending, it was written […]

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. I’m sure this phrase was intentioned to speak to larger issues of war and tragedy and undesirable behavior passed down generations, but when philosopher and cultural critic George Santayana coined it, I wonder if he ever considered that pop culture would be condemned to […]

Spider-Man Comes Home to Marvel

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe logo appeared with an orchestral version of the cheesy 60s Spider-Man cartoon theme, I wasn’t sure what to expect. No other superhero has gone through so many different film iterations since the start of the millennium as Spider-Man.
