May the 4th is a holy day for fans of the Star Wars franchise; and it’s all thanks to a clever turn of phrase. Even I, someone who’s fallen out with the post-Rise of Skywalker era of George Lucas’ epic creation, understand that sanctity. That’s part of why I decided to actually show up to
Witch Hat Atelier gives Coco and her fellow apprentice witches a rainy day purely for the drama in Ep. 6 "A Light on a Rainy Day". Oh, it's not all doom and gloom. There's still a large amount of slice of life exploring the world of magic in some tasty ways. However, this episode is also when we

[Warning: article contains spoilers of Maul: Shadow Lord.] With Star Wars Day (May 4th) now behind us, let’s talk about that phenomenal Maul: Shadow Lord finale, shall we? The series as a whole provided even more nuance and depth to the character (thank you Sam Witwer!), but the finale was a

When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
