September 13, 2021September 3, 2022Posted in Home Page Posts1 Comment

How I looked after watching Episode 9 “Goodbye, Lucifer” // Cr. JOHN P. FLEENOR/NETFLIX © 2021

“Lucifer” Season 6 is upon us and we must finally say “Goodbye, Lucifer” for real this time.

The whole of Season 6 was a heartfelt journey that stripped down the characters to their roots in order to tell a story about ultimate sacrifices, and the trials one must go through to reach their greatest desires.

It was a well-deserved ending for all the characters we’ve grown to love so much over the past six years, even if it put Deckerstar through hell and back to give their eternal love some justice.

Below, I break down Season 6 in an interview with myself about all my favorite things that comprise the entirety of this series finale.

“Miles Morales: Shock Waves” Review

August 22, 2021September 3, 2022Posted in Books, Home Page Posts, Mini-ThoughtsTagged marvel, miles morales, miles morales: shock waves, scholastic, spider-man, spider-man: into the spider-verseLeave a comment

Within a year of becoming Brooklyn’s Spider-Man, Miles Morales has queued a list of his five most frequently answered questions such as: is he old enough to be fighting crime? Does he have a fear of falling? Is he related to *that* other Spider-Man from Queens? But the most important curated question is the last one on his list: “What does a superhero do when they’re not saving the world?”

“Miles Morales: Shock Waves” written by Justin Reynolds (“Early Departures”) and illustrated by Pablo Leon aims to answer that question.

In The Arms of an Angel: The Hanjobadiel Story [“Lucifer” Season 5, Episode 14]

May 30, 2021September 3, 2022Posted in Home Page Posts, TVTagged Chris Rafferty, Ildy Modrovich, Joe Henderson, Lucifer, Netflix1 Comment

If there’s one thing to know about Netflix’s pop-culture smash hit “Lucifer,” it’s that the Devil-to-penis joke pipeline is a flaccid circle.

OK, I’m kidding.

The show is obviously much deeper than that. And despite the show’s cheeky (and sometimes over-the-top) innuendo, the emotional beats still hit just the same. You can see this tremendously heartfelt and humorous combo collide in “Nothing Lasts Forever” directed by Lisa Demaine and written by Chris Rafferty.

Fandom Interview: Devil’s Food w/ Jessica Pommer

Despite not having access to a kitchen, Lucifer Morningstar is reportedly an excellent cook. Throughout the show, fans have seen him make Grilled Cheese, French fries, truffle omelettes and casseroles. (The only thing he doesn’t do is the dishes.) And when he’s not cooking, he always knows the best place in LA to get a bite to eat.

Much like Lucifer, Canadian Chef Jessica Pommer,33, has a flare for food culture and great conversation. The task to create a “Lucifer” inspired cookbook grew from her desire to contribute to the fandom.

“I can’t draw, write fan-fiction, or craft items, but I’ve always had this knack for creating my own recipes and this love for ‘Lucifer’,” Pommer said. “It’s amazing how having a good meal and great conversation can make even the plainest meal that much more meaningful. Sharing food is an important part of social interactions.”

In our email conversation; I get inside the culinary mind of British Columbia native as she shares the concepts and creations behind her Devil’s Food.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when an angel falls they also rise. But what then, if an angel falls, impersonates you, kidnaps your girlfriend and tries to start an unholy war in the penultimate season of your life? They get rewarded, apparently.

Netflix’s “Yasuke” Travels the Road to What Could be Great Success

May 3, 2021September 3, 2022Posted in Home Page Posts, TVTagged Anime, Black Samurai, Netflix, YasukeLeave a comment

[Editor’s note: mild spoilers]

Partially foraged in history, Netflix’s “Yasuke” takes what it can from the limited details of the real samurai’s origin story.

Luckily, series creator LeSean Thomas (“The Boondocks”, “The Legend of Korra”) and the stacked co-writing team; Nick Jones Jr., Alex Larsen, and musician Flying Lotus make the most of the ambiguous annals lost in nearly 400 years of time across the span of its limited six-episode run.

When will Journalism Majors Prepare us for the truth of Freelancing after Graduation?

April 6, 2021September 3, 2022Posted in Home Page Posts, Mini-ThoughtsLeave a comment

As a woman, I have to deal with a fair amount of sexism, lesser pay at any given corporate job and paying extra for my personal hygiene products. As a Black person, I often have to suppress microaggressions like being followed at the supermarket until I get to the register. As a Black woman, I have to worry about whether I hold up to the same eurocentric beauty standards as white women just so I can be considered for any given job. But, as Black people, we know this. We were intrinsically taught at a young age that we would have to work twice, if not quadruple times as hard as our ivory-colored cohorts. It is what it is.

TOKYOPOP’s “Deko-Boko Sugar Days” Review: a sweet BL romance

April 5, 2021July 9, 2023Posted in Books, Home Page PostsTagged BL, Manga, Tokyopop, YaoiLeave a comment

Atsuko Yusen’s “Deko-Boko Sugar Days,” gives a refreshing (not quite revolutionary) take on typical Yaoi narratives.

The story starts out with the usual misunderstanding. In his youth, our main character Yuujirou Matsukaze, mistakenly misgenders a helpless “feminine” boy that is stuck in a nearby gutter on the way home. Feeling the strong need to protect this “girl” Matsukaze develops his first-ever crush—at least until he finds out that the child’s name is Rui Hanamine, and therefore is a boy.

It’s Valentine’s Day 2021 and in the pandemic year for the single ladies (and the lucky couples) we are all stuck inside the house, but more importantly dangerously horny. It’s been a long journey for those on #TeamDeckerstar as we’ve watched Lucifer and Chloe dance around the elephant in the room for 5 entire seasons before finally consummating their relationship. But what a fun journey of self-discovery, selflessness, and sacrifice it has been. In honor of the 5 year anniversary of Netflix’s devilishly delicious “Lucifer,” I teamed up with the hottest girls on Twitter (nonnegotiable) to talk about the 8 episodes we always come back to in order to remedy our Deckerstar “BlueBallz” … at least until S5B comes out.

“Strawberry Mansion” Sundance 2021 Review

If you were to drain the weird juice from Netflix’s original series “Maniac,” “Black Mirror”, extract the pulp from Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” add a dash of The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever” and a scoop of hallucinogenic plot-laced bananas, you might come up with something close to “Strawberry Mansion.”

And one hell of a brain ache induced by the dizzying, genre-defying romance sci-fi film created by Albert Birney and Kentucker Audley.
