About Me

A mid-stage millennial who's been fascinated by pop culture since before he can remember, and is dedicated to untangle the mess that it can often be. My opinions are mine and mine alone, and I try to make sure they are as well-researched and understandable as humanly possible. Because there's enough confusion that I have no interest adding to.

  • ‘Past Lives’ Beautifully Reimagines What Love Can Mean
    Celine Song's radically empathetic film about transformative and unconditional love is one of the year's best.
  • Performances That Pop: Kylie Minogue at the 2002 BRIT Awards
    Kylie Minogue popped out of a CD player and into the pop history books with the remix of her signature hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head."
  • ‘Succession’ and the Last Gasps of Media Literacy
    'Succession' may not be real life, but its surrounding discourse does reflect how we currently struggle to perceive art and entertainment.
  • Tina Turner’s Greatest Triumph
    The Queen of Rock and Roll's resilience, enforced by her unshakable sense of worth, love, and respect for herself, is her greatest legacy.
