In this video, I recount how I had no real desire to give My Adventures With Superman a chance. Having been spoiled by the Bruce Timm cartoons, this show just didn’t seem like it would measure up when I first heard about it.
Then, I gave it a chance.
And I’m so glad I did. This show is an absolute delight. It gives us a sweet, genuine, lovable version of Superman that the world needs right now. Enjoy!

In this video, I discuss the recent news, trends, and previews of Marvel Animation for 2025 and beyond. While 2024 was a banner year with the release of X-Men 97, there have been some major upheavals behind the scene. And having seen similar upheavals in the past, I have some real concerns that I feel are worth discussing.

In this video, I highlight one of the best episodes of Bob’s Burgers, The Plight Before Christmas. It’s not just the best Christmas episode of the series. It’s a textbook example in what makes this show and Christmas episodes, in general, truly special. Enjoy!

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.

This video explores why and how Bob’s Burgers became the perfect comfort show. For me personally, it’s become the show I often turn to when I just want to watch something simple, wholesome, and fun. It’s also one of those rare shows that sets itself apart from other animated shows for all the right reasons.
Plus, it has Gene Belcher. What more could you want?

It’s been a long time since Terminator fans had a reason get to excited. But with the release of Terminator Zero on Netflix, the fate of this franchise has promise. The story of Sarah and John Connor is in the past. Through this series, a new future and a new war against Skynet has begun. And I couldn’t be more thrilled with the possibilities. Enjoy!

In this video, I highlight and explore one of my favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. While Batman has one of the best rogue’s gallery in all of comics, this episode had him clash with a different kind of enemy.
Like Bruce Wayne, they’re billionaires.
Unlike Bruce Wayne, they choose to be villains.
But it’s why they make such a choice that’s truly remarkable. And the nature of that choice does a lot to affirm why Batman’s story is so powerful. Enjoy!

This video is my overall review and reaction to season 6 of The Dragon Prince.
This show has done plenty to captivate me since it first debuted. And the past two seasons have done plenty to move the story forward while deepening the mystery surrounding Aaravos.
But season 6 raised the stakes in a major way. Hard choices were made. Heavy losses were felt. And while the Callum/Rayla romance deepened, there’s a growing sense that it’s building towards something dramatic.
It was still my favorite season to date. But it left me wanting so much more. Enjoy!

This video revisits That 70s Show. It’s a show I loved as a teenagers, but came to see differently as an adult. And a big reason for that difference is because of Red Forman.
For years, he was the antagonist of the show. He was the main obstacle for Eric, Donna, and the rest of the crew. And for a long time, he really did come off as a cranky old kill-joy.
But now, after revising the show years later, I see Red differently. And I see the main crew differently. That difference says a lot about me, personally. It also says a lot about how the show has aged and evolved.

This video is a lengthy, but in depth discussion about being a superhero and the trauma that comes with it. Few franchises or characters dare to explore it. But Invincible, both the comic and the TV show, dare to demonstrate in brutal detail just how traumatic being a hero can be.
There’s a lot to be said about the unique heroic journey of Mark Grayson, Atom Eve, and even Omni-Man. But I contend that the trauma of being a hero and doing the right thing is the connective tissue that makes this story so powerful. Enjoy!
