Some thoughts on what I think this election cycle and its outcome could mean for our society. Perhaps all is not lost. We just might find a way to reconnect with each other despite our differences.

My snap reaction to the "Black Adam" film after leaving the theater. I was entertained! It wasn't a perfectly crafted script, but how many films are? Here my thoughts on why I felt the film delivered and how it stacks up against other comic book films.

I respect film critics, but they were somehow very disconnected from the fans on this one: Black Adam - Rotten Tomatoes

 In this episode, I give my thoughts on the teaching crisis a NYU. Dr. Maitland Jones, Jr., a professor of organic chemistry at NYU, was fired after more than 80 students from his 350-student course signed a petition complaining about this grading and teaching.  Jones is an authority in his field after teaching organic chemistry a Princeton University for 40 years.

His dismissal from NYU opened a can of worms about college teaching at a time when US higher education has both a perception problem and enrollment problem. I think this situation, while embarrassing, is an opportunity to raise the level of conversation about college teaching in a way that brings together different perspectives.

My quick reaction to the new Wakanda Forever trailer, which dropped today. It evaporated any doubts I had about the MCU going forward.

I briefly opine on how this trailer affirms my belief that this film, which is to be released on November 11, will not only set the table for a thrilling Phase 5, but introduce at least one character (Namor) that will be in the MCU indefinitely or as long as Kevin Feige/Tenoch Huerta can go.

Corrections: 1. I referenced Marvel's page for "Wakanda vs Atlantis" when the page is actually "Black Panther and Namor: A Tale of Two Kings." 2. Towards the end of segment, I indicated that the trailer was two minutes and 14 seconds when it was two minutes and 11 seconds. 3. In my excitement I forgot to comment on Dominique Thorne's "Riri Williams/Ironheart" which was amazing to see in the trailer! I'm super-hyped to see where they take the character in this film and beyond.

Overall, Wakanda Forever looks primed to throttle the box office records next month!!

In this episode, I give a sobering yet optimistic reflection on phase 4 of the Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe and where I hope they're taking us for phases 5 & 6.

The episode includes brief reviews of its latest Disney Plus show, "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" and its recent summer blockbuster "Thor: Love and Thunder."

The episode concludes with a humble reflection and prayer for Marvel to deliver the goods with the long-awaited introductions of Namor (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and Doctor Doom (????) to the MCU.

In this first episode of season 2, I discuss the forewarned teacher shortage crisis that is affecting school districts across the country.

My recap of the excitement from Marvel Studios' presentation at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel unleashes a real multiverse of madness by announcing the Multiverse Saga story arc, an unveiling the end of Phase 4 and introduction of Phases 5 and 6.

They confirmed several films and streaming series for 2022 through 2025 and I'm in all for of it. I can't say that it all makes sense, but I'm in!
