A lot of people treat animated media as if it's lesser, childish, and not to be taken seriously. Obviously, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of animation expert, but if you've seen a single Studio Ghibli film, Pixar, or even just the newest Spider-Verse flick, you know just how impressive the genre can be. Sure, there are low-effort movies aimed at the sole objective of entertaining children. But that's not exclusive to animation . Just look a…

I love “The Sopranos.” Many, myself included, would call it the launch of the golden age of television. Without Tony Soprano we wouldn't have Don Draper, Walter White, Dexter Morgan, and many others. It would be a stretch to call Tony an anti-hero. He's not a hero, he's a downright sociopath. But the way in which his character is presented is so painfully human that it's hard not to resist becoming enthralled by him. Combine that with the downright legendary performance by the late James Gandol…

How do you feel about the hijacking of internet culture by corporate accounts? I'll admit, it was a little cute at first. Take Wendy's for example, they were one of the figureheads who popularized the trend. They appealed to their audience through Twitter memes , they joked with their followers, and they talked smack to other brands on social media. It was uncharted territory and refreshing to see. That was until every other brand adopted the model. When every brand tries to be the cool kid, no…

How old is too old to enjoy a meme ? That's a trick question. Memes are for anyone and everyone. Any age, it doesn't matter. Sure, a Gen Z individual might not find the humor in a meme made for a Gen X individual. You wouldn't get upset because you don't understand a meme made for software engineers, would you? Memes are just like every form of entertainment, they're made for a target audience. To say that someone is too old to enjoy a meme would be like saying they're too old to enjoy a televi…

Happy Sunday, code connoisseurs! We're back again for another batch of tech-focused memes . Programming isn't easy. It's a field that's reserved for the best, brightest, and most sleep-deprived individuals. Just think about the people who program our everyday luxuries. Game developers. These people are some of the greatest minds developing incredible video games for our consumption. Sure, video games are an entertainment product, but for those of us who game, a great game is the highlight of an…

It's almost too much to bear

It feels like a hundred years have passed since I first watched Mad Men, which, along with The Sopranos, seems to have altered the trajectory of television. I wasn't even 21 when the first episode aired, but it still made me want to swig whiskeys and martinis and chain smoke my way through the workday. The fact of the matter is that the behavior on the show, especially from Don Draper, is problematic. Because it is set in a different era, and I was really young when Mad Men first aired, it was…

Elizabeth Banks' Cocaine Bear is due to be released tomorrow, February 24th, but has already blessed the screens of a limited number of theaters around the country. The aptly titled film chronicles the journey of a 500-pound black bear who consumes an enormous amount of cocaine and causes drug-fueled mayhem around Georgia. While the premise seems a bit ridiculous, the movie, as of publishing, boasts an impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes , a feat that seems unbelievable when considering th…

Food for thought

It is not easy out there for a lot of memes. Are you familiar with that old Eskimo practice of sending their geriatrics away on an iceberg for their final adventure? Well, some memes go through the same experience. Seasoned memes that pop up time and time again are ignored by the internet users who once laughed at them. Four Loko photoshop memes are a pretty good example. Wholesome memes often fall into that category, too. We're not people who can just let the poor things go. We want them to be…

There's a little bit of everything in this one.

Turn that brain off

The flash mob nobody asked for.
