Bad Santa: The Perfect Anti-Christmas Christmas Movie

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I make the case that the 2003 movie, Bad Santa, is the perfect anti-Christmas Christmas movie. It’s also a movie that we need during the holidays, if only to add a little dark humor to our holiday cheer. Enjoy!

Mass Effect Andromeda: A Good Game That Deserved Better

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I recount Mass Effect Andromeda, a game that had so much going for it, but ultimately fell short in terms of sales and reception. But personally, I think this game deserved better. And I make the case that, despite its flaws, Mass Effect Andromeda is a good game.

Jack’s Comic Gems | X-Men ’92 House Of XCII

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another entry in my “Jack’s Comic Gems” series. This time, I highlight a brief, but memorable mini-series that reimagines the classic House of X/Powers of X story, but in the world of X-Men 92. It’s a unique, but uncanny combination that proves to be a quality gem for all the right reasons.

The Critic: A Forgotten (But Relevant) 90s Animated Gem

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video revisits and celebrates The Critic, one of my favorite shows from the 90s. This brief, but memorable animated series was unique in so many ways. It was even ahead of its time in how it approached modern movies. Even though it ended too soon, it left quite a mark that’s worth exploring.

How To Tell If You’re In A Cult And Why it Matters

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is about cults and how to tell if you might be in one. It was a difficult video to make in that I tried to be sensitive to the difference between a cult and a religion. I also tried to be fair in discussing those who get roped into cults. These people are often victimized by these groups and it is important to keep that in mind when discussing this topic.

I also highlight the BITE model when determining the practices of cults. If you’d like to know more about this model, please see the link below.

Absolute Batman #1: Why It Absolutely Works And Why It Matters

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

DC Comics’ new Absolute Universe has arrived. An all-new, much darker DC Universe has emerged. And our first glimpse of this world unfolds in Absolute Batman #1.

It’s the most ambitious reinvention of Batman in years. And Scott Snyder really accomplishes something special with this first issue. I would go so far to argue that this is the most important Batman comic of the past 25 years and this new Absolute Batman is one of the most imposing versions of Batman we’ve ever gotten. Enjoy!

Thought Experiment: What Is The Endgame For Human Civilization?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment that contemplates where human civilization is heading and where it will ultimately end up. Humanity, as a whole, has undergone many upheavals, collapses, and advancements over the centuries. But as far as we’ve come, there’s still so much farther we have to go. That raises the question.

What’s the endgame?

What is human civilization’s ultimate form?

try to explore that with this thought experiment.
