Bohemian Rhapsody
Queen is arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. But of course, you already knew that. From my perspective, my least favorite from them is “We Are the Champions,” because it’s usually played in movies and shows… Read More ›

The Hate U Give
I can’t recommend you watch this movie twice, because of how angry it will make you, but you should definitely see “The Hate U Give” for what it does. It once again battles racism during the Trump Era. In fact,… Read More ›
