The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

The Best Sci-Fi Western
Firefly is the most underrated Sci-Fi Western, created by Joss Whedon. Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds, a role he was made to play.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

Hamilton: The Hip-Hop Musical
Lin-Manuel Miranda could’ve used Hip-Hop as a tool to trivialize, mock, and disappoint every MC who has ever touched a microphone. Instead, with “Hamilton” he uses brilliant storytelling to captivate audiences that probably trivialized, mocked, and discredited Hip-Hop since its birth.

Inception: What Just Happened?
If you ever need to define the word “cliffhanger” for someone, you could just say it’s a plot device featuring a character confronted with a shocking revelation to end a film.

Solo: A Star Wars Story. First Place in Critique Challenge.
While Rogue One relies on trite Star Wars cliches and a single spine-tingling Vader scene, Solo tells a more compelling story.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Tom Cruise and the team has done it again! This is how you do an action movie! This is how you do a two-parter! I'm in love with Hayley Atwell

Normal People
Against rolling Irish hills and freshly-washed linens, Marianne and Connell touch and love and part and chase and fail. Their minds and bodies are ravenous, their souls and tongues damaged. They leave me wanting more.

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.

The Warriors (1979)
The Warriors (1979) Delves into gritty gang warfare, portraying a dangerous urban odyssey. Atmospheric visuals and a pulsating soundtrack intensify the experience, yet character depth often falters.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.
