AISLE NINE by Ian X. Cho
Aisle Nine is set in a world where literal portals to hell have opened and periodically spew out demons.
Best Albums of 2024
There was a time when I would sit down to write a Top 10 Albums of the Year post and think “how am I possibly going to get this to ten albums”.
DATING & DRAGONS by Kristy Boyce
The burden of unrealistic expectations weighed heavily on my reading experience for this one. Dungeons & Drama was one of my favorite books last year and part of that was the sheer surprise at finding a young adult romance so enjoyable. I read it purely on a whim and was instantly glad I did.
THE WILL OF THE MANY by James Islington
It’s always a challenge to stay neutral when you pick up a book with a lot of buzz around it. For a year, I’ve seen everyone online talking about The Will of the Many. Hell, the edition I got has quotes from Daniel Greene and Petrik Leo on the cover so it is definitely a booktube darling.
Superman & Lois Season 1
I thought I was done with CW superhero shows. I really did. I had Smallville in middle school and high school. The Arrowverse in college and early adulthood. And then I kicked the habit.
A Perfect Game For A Distracted Dad
As a thirty-four year old father of two with a full time job, I fall squarely under the category of people who enjoy video games but rarely play them.
GONE TO THE WOLVES by John Wray
Gone to the Wolves is about three teenagers in Florida in the late 80s who bond over metal music. The scene is their lifeline, enabling these three weirdos to survive through high school. After they graduate, they move to California, where the metal is more glam than death. The core stays connected, but the strands become twisted and knotted as they navigate life in early adulthood.

Lower The Age Requirement For Elected Office To 18
We should lower the minimum age requirement for serving in elected office. Currently, the requirement is 25 for the House of Representatives, 30 for the Senate, and 35 for the President of the United States. I say we knock it down to 18 across the board.
How To Become A Retail Dad
First, you start off with part time retail jobs while you’re in high school and college because you know those comic books and Sour Patch Watermelon aren’t going to pay for themselves.
The Tipping Point of Superhero Cinema
In a world full of piping hot takes regarding movies, one of my least favorites is when people say they are bored of superhero movies because we are approaching a tipping point of superhero movie burnout. This belief, that superhero movies are a phase that simply needs to be weathered, is almost always loudly proclaimed by pretentious film nerds who would probably listen to Adam Scott and Scott Aukerman’s “I Love Films” mini-podcast within U Talkin’ U2 To Me? and not understand the irony.
In Defense of Christian Rock
Growing up in Oklahoma, I heard a lot about what it takes to be a Real Christian. Real Christians dress like this, Real Christians talk like that, Real Christians don’t dance because a few years ago some teenagers were killed in a car wreck on the way home from a dance and it gave the whole town PTSD. Okay, that last one is the plot of Footloose but you get the idea.
