'Godzilla vs. Kong' Review: Yes, I'm Still Team Kong

April 4, 2021

The latest MonsterVerse film is the highly anticipated Godzilla vs. Kong. Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, the movie follows the two most dominant alpha monsters on the planet as they clash with one another. Who will come out on top?

'Jack and Diane' Review: Wasted Potential

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities.
