Another breezy few days online.

Is it just me, or is the concept of an "unsolved mystery" redundant? A solved mystery is an oxymoron, which is precisely what we're going to get into. One of my favorite recently solved mysteries is the identity of the Zodiac killer. The fact that there was a guy walking around for years who looked so much like the sketches baffles me. My favorite part of this whole ordeal is that one of his friends posted a picture with him on Facebook with the caption “Zodiac?” and nobody even noticed. I know…

There are a lot of true crime haters in this world, and frankly, I get it! Not everybody has the temperament and the willpower to watch or listen to hours of painstakingly long and graphic content about murders . When I was a teenager, I was far more interested in true crime documentaries about kidnapping cases like Jaycee Lee Dugard or Elizabeth Smart than I was in serial killers. I was a casual 20/20 viewer, but that would rarely get as intense as the true crime media we see dominating today'…

Why? Just why?

I have to return some videotapes

Why I declare...

There's a new dancing doll in town, and her name is M3GAN. Horror movies such as Childs Play and Annabelle have put creepy dolls on the map as certified horror icons. However, creepy dolls don't just have to be red-headed Raggedy Ann-esque weirdos. They can also be uncanny-valley animatronic dancing girls who are both killers and fierce divas! Earlier this week, Universal came out with the trailer for their upcoming horror movie M3GAN , which follows a woman named Gemma who takes in her young n…

Spongebob is a wacky little cartoon character; He's an absolute hoot, and he surely hasn't killed a guy , right? Well, I've got some bad news for you. Being on TV for 23 years has allowed SpongeBob to get into every situation imaginable. This includes vehicular manslaughter and 2nd-degree murder. While most fans take SpongeBob's criminal record no more seriously than they'd take Eric Cartman's, some fans were deeply upset about the sea sponge's portrayal.

True crime has been among the most popular podcast genres over the past decade. Unlike shows like ‘Law & Order SUV,' which depicts police attempting to solve fictional crimes, true crime media is focused on crimes that actually happened. While true crime documentaries and books have been popular for decades, true crime podcasts are a more recent phenomenon that has blown up in popularity over the past five years. However, true crime has not been without criticism, with detractors calling it cav…

This country's (and maybe the world's) obsession with murder is a bit alarming. We'd have to say that most people are fascinated by dark tales of grisly killings, serial killers, and murder mysteries. The television industry makes a fortune on it. And the murder-minded aren't limited to big screens. True crime podcasts haven't helped things. If anything, they've stoked this raging fire. What's weirder is that it seems like most murder mystery and true crime buffs are women. We settle into our c…

Main character energy

Squid Game requires little to no introduction for most internet users and television enjoyers. The Netflix original series has taken the world by storm, showing us, once again, how fond we are of watching characters we’ve grown attached to get massacred for the entertainment of spectators (both in-universe and outside it). Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series follows a very similar premise with its yearly ritual in which a group of teenagers, you guessed it, have to compete to the death for the…
