Television Show of The Year:
The Last of Us
Let's be honest. NOTHING came close this year to this video game adaptation of the Naughty Dog phenomenon. Granted, the track record for video game movies and TV shows hasn't been the best (read: Halo, Monster Hunter, Alone in the Dark, etc.). But this time around, HBO…
Movie of The Year:
Godzilla Minus One
I’m surprised as anyone that a new Godzilla movie would take my top spot as movie of the year. And don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of good movies this year. But there was something about this movie and stepped above the rest. The thing that separated…
In my younger years, I was one of those pretentious, film majors whose film lists read like someone's "least likely to watch" list. But over the years, my need for critical cinema has slowly faded away and been replaced with any and all movies that find a way to entertain me. My attention-span is non-existent…
This was a hardest list to build for me. The truth is I don't listen to "albums" anymore. Back in the day, when you purchased an album from your favorite artists, it was like an event. You'd expect to have an experience-- listen to the music take you on a journey from start to finish.…
I don't know why I can't get enough of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. It was the first MCU-centric television show out the gate. But over the years and after more popular shows release on Neflix, Disney+ and other streaming services, AoS has become something of a bastard stepchild compared to the other shows. It doesn't…
It's that time of year again. This was a good year for my type of music. This playlist clocks in at 179 songs and all of them are bangers. Enjoy. My favorite song of the year isn't in the playlist below because Black Star didn't release their 2022 album "No Fear of Time" on streaming…
Thanks to COVID, 2022 was the year I stayed away from the cinema. Nearly every movies I got the privilege to watch was in my own home (with the exception of Wakanda Forever). Even with a ton of movies to watch at home, the picks seemed to be slim for me. Gravitating more toward streaming…
To say that 2022 was the year that streaming and television shows surpassed motion pictures in quality and quantity is an understatement. In the aftermath of the 2-year COVID lockdown, a lot of media companies pushed their prime content to television to satisfy their captive audience. And with the proliferation of streaming services, the need to…
I wasn't that big on albums this year. There were tons of singles that I loved but I feel I'm not really into full alums anymore. There's too many projects that broaden the songs, attempting to capture the biggest audience as possible. So when you find an album with a good number of songs that…
