Revisiting Lovecraft Country

August 4, 2022Leave a comment

Lovecraft Country is one of my favorite books. If I recall correctly, it was the first fantasy book I ever read, that took place in a world somewhat like our own, where the Black heroes got a happy ending. It's a truly brilliant compilation of all the things I love about the fantasy and sci-fi … Continue reading Revisiting Lovecraft Country

3 Shows That Were Doomed To Failure

February 23, 2019January 10, 2019Leave a comment

Good ideas are a dime a dozen, but it's the execution that's tricky. Dozens of new TV shows pop up every season, but only a few go on to become moderate successes, much less smash hits. Here are a few shows that I wanted to work. Emerald City (NBC, 2017): Emerald City is a gritty … Continue reading 3 Shows That Were Doomed To Failure

I want to live in Wakanda

February 19, 2018January 10, 2019Leave a comment

Black Panther fed my spirit. I've always enjoyed superhero stories. I love science fiction and fantasy, and comic books almost always contain a little bit of both. I'll admit that before the movie came out, I didn't know much about Black Panther other than the fact that he existed. I watched the miniseries back in … Continue reading I want to live in Wakanda

Logic’s “Everybody” is the positive resistance album we didn’t know we needed

September 12, 20171 Comment

This is going to be a lengthy post because I've been a fan of Logic for awhile. Tex is super into rap, and so is Mr. Teenage Dream. So between the two of them I was kept pretty current despite my preference for soul and R&B. As a matter of fact, I've been put on … Continue reading Logic’s “Everybody” is the positive resistance album we didn’t know we needed
