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.

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.

ConvenienceContinue reading “A Brief Mandalorian – Episode 11 Recap”

12 Book Recommendations for Young Conservatives

As my grandpa once said, “school never did learn me nothin”. My education was somewhat similar. I was a B- average student through high school and college but it took a very long time for me to develop any sort of drive or intellectual passion in my adult life. Much of that passion coincided withContinue reading “12 Book Recommendations for Young Conservatives”

Book Review: The Final Martyrs (2008)

Despite being released in 2008, the eleven short stories comprised in this edition aren’t new short stories. The Japanese author Shusaku Endo conceived of the stories and published them between 1959 and 1985. Endo is most famous now for his 1966 masterpiece Silence. The book was launched into western discussion and prominence in 2016 followingContinue reading “Book Review: The Final Martyrs (2008)”
