This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This is a CreepyPasta that I wrote and narrated myself. And since it involves election day, expect some major political overtones. Enjoy!

Celebrating Vasili Arkhipov: The Man Who Saved The World (And My Life)
This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This video celebrates and honors the actions of Vasili Arkhipov, a man who saved the world during the darkest hours of the Cold War. It all unfolded during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a high-stakes showdown over nuclear missiles that had been secretly stationed in Cuba. And at the most intense moment of the conflict, Vasili Arkhipov’s actions ensured the world was spared from nuclear war.
And, as a result, I owe this man my life. And many of those who view it likely owe their existence to him, as well. Enjoy!

Jean Grey #3 Review: Clones, Infernos, And Revelations
This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This video is my review of Jean Grey #3, the third issue of Jean’s mini-series by Louise Simonson and Bernard Chang. In this issue, Jean continues navigating the past in hopes of fixing the present. This time, she returns to the events of Inferno and her confrontation with her clone, Madelyne Pyror. It was a fiery conflict that became a defining moment for her and Cyclops.
But even as she battles the Goblin Queen, the present is finally starting to catch up to her. And it sets the stage for a truly uncanny finale to this series.

Smile | A Good Horror Movie That Was Almost Great
This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This video is my personal take on Smile, a 2022 horror movie that I was really excited about when I first saw the trailer. But after seeing it in theaters, I found myself a bit underwhelmed with how it played out. I still thought it was a good movie, but it had the potential to be much greater. And I think that shortcoming offers some lessons for future horror movies. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems: Punisher Max: Mother Russia
This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And for this gem, I re-visit one of the darkest, grittiest gems from the early 2000s. A lot has been made in recent years about Frank Castle and the iconography of the Punisher, largely due to toxic politics and creative failures.
But in the early 2000s, Garth Ennis gave us the greatest iteration of the modern Punisher with the Punisher MAX series. This was Frank Castle as his best and most brutal. If that era had a high point, it was the Mother Russia arc. It’s a true gem from a different era of Marvel.
It’s a gem from a different world, in general. But even with everything that has changed around us, this story showed us just how brutal and compelling a Punisher comic can be. Enjoy!
