Book Review: Starship Troopers (1959)
I’ve been meaning to read this book for a while now and I’m glad I finally took a few days last week to get through it. Starship Troopers is one of the most famous/infamous pieces of 20th century pulp science fiction and has gone a very long way to establishing the style for the entireContinue reading “Book Review: Starship Troopers (1959)”
Life Isn’t Fair: Why The Princess Bride’s Framing Device Matters
Whether you watch the movie or read the book, William Goldman’s The Princess Bride, a self-described “Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure” is separated from its true author through the filter of a fictional author: S.

Movie Review: Borat Subsequent Movie Film (2020)
I’ll just say this up front, I never watched the original Borat. I was twelve in 2007 and wasn’t really in the market for R-Rated dark comedies at the time. It wasn’t even really all that culturally relevant in the years since besides being a bizarre cultural artifact. It hasn’t helped that Sacha Baron Cohen’sContinue reading “Movie Review: Borat Subsequent Movie Film (2020)”

Now, as it stands, we are left beleaguer, stymied by the depths of chicanery never seen before. Only one thing remains certain, it’s going to get worse. But in thisContinue reading “Chesterton’s Fence and The First Tuesday in November: In Defense of In-Person Voting”
A Brief Mandalorian – Episode 11 Recap
The writers of The Mandalorian are really starting to fall back on Deus Ex Machinas in a pinch too frequently. Last episode was resolved by the X-Wing pilots swooping in to save the day at the last minute and this episode starts with Mando needing to be saved again after being captured by pirates. ConvenienceContinue reading “A Brief Mandalorian – Episode 11 Recap”

10 American History Books for Young Historians
Much like Professor Tergussen from the film Back to School, I hold history in a very sacred way, but without all the yelling. It is my role today to be your Mr. Helper and offer some books relating to American History. These works are not necessarily the greatest available, but these works have found theirContinue reading “10 American History Books for Young Historians”
Five Novels Every Christian Should Read
I’ve been invited by Tyler to throw some book recs on the pile. Since it’s a rare treat for me to discuss my favorite fiction picks, I thought I would take the opportunity and offer five. I could add many more, but I feel this is a good representative sampler, including one Jewish, two flavorsContinue reading “Five Novels Every Christian Should Read”
