  • Casino Vs Goodfellas or Why I Think Casino is Better
    De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese. When you hear these three names together you may automatically think either 1995's Casino or 1990's Goodfellas. In my opinion I think Casino is better than Goodfellas. In this episode, I will discuss things I like about both movies, my favorite aspects of these movies as well as why I think Casino is better.

  • What Are You Doing Here?: A Black Woman's Life and Liberation in Heavy Metal Book Review
    As we come to a close with Black History Month, I shall talk about one aspect of the black community that is very much overlooked and that is alternative black culture. I discuss my thoughts on Laina Dawes' 2013 book "What Are You Doing Here?" I can relate to sometimes being the only POC in a predominately white and male space with this genre of music. Laina and a bevy of other black women talk about their experiences of being black and women in the metal, punk, hard rock and hardcore scene.
