I love how the new Superman film serves as an entry for kids to become fans of him! In celebration of that, check out the new episode of my series, Generational Talk, for a discussion with my boys about the movie!

The new Superman heavily channels the kind of energy that makes Mr. Smith Goes to Washington a favorite.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

My wife and I collaborated on this project; I did the painting and she added the beautiful dry flowers.

Really love seeing all of the OLD NERD HEADS making fun of the children cast in the new Harry Potter series. Good job at life...

My wife and I collaborated on a few pieces. She did the dry floral arrangements and I painted the backgrounds.

Sharing my son’s comic book creation!

I’m flipping through oldest son’s middle school yearbook, & honestly, it looks just like it did back in my day. No shocks. Just a remix of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. Has anything really changed? Today’s style feels like a mash-up of all the past decades

Great idea for one

Captured this while on a walk break.

Here’s my new painting, Phoenix Rising, which I’m honored to submit to a silent auction supporting survivors of domestic violence.

I thought it was very well done with great casting and exploration on genre. I won’t share a full review because this is something best experienced for yourself. This particular image was during a powerful moment, and the commentary on music and the black experience was especially impactful.

And then there’s the Black Mirror episode with Paul Giamatti…

Beautiful.

Issa Rae killed it in Episode 3 of Black Mirror Season 7. One of her best performances and the one that pulled me back into the series.

Painfully accurate.

What’s really weirding me out is seeing people who look like grown adults but have never heard of free minutes after 9 p.m.

Thanks, Apple, for The Studio! It’s painful watching it, though. Will The Morning Show get another season?

With all of this stock market back and forth are the wealthy elite making gains behind the scenes while we eat cake?

Surprisingly, it captured many of my actual favorites and even suggested others I’m willing to explore. I look forward to seeing your thoughts and suggestions in the comments!

I asked ChatGPT to list 25 films that it believes should be on my favorites list, based on the themes, discussions, and stories I tend to gravitate toward and tell.

Back then, The Handmaid’s Tale was the perfect cautionary tale.
Now? Watching the news on Hulu feels a little too on the nose.

Obama’s win seemed like the death of Republican Party. Then the Tea Party became a populist revival. Is the Left on the verge of having their own populist version of the Tea Party moment?

He says, “Hang tough.”
“Hang tough” is the new “Let them eat cake.”

Speaking of thin, yea on Gal’s acting it… and spoiler alert, they ruined the transition from to old hag. Hate that. Anyway, it’s not really “woke” in the identity politics sense. But it is clearly anti-fascist and pro-economic equality.
