The Weeknd’s transformation into Daft Punk is a win for music
Warning: this article discusses depictions of violence and abuse. Reader discretion is advised. One of the most unique musicians working today is Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd. His work is catchy, memorable, and above all, deeply visceral. He brings a veneer of class to lyrics of melancholy and heartbreak. He’s off-putting to some, and to others a lyrical genius, spitting fresh R&B with falsetto highs. The Weeknd began a stride in 2016 at the 58th Grammy Awards, winning awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best R&B Performance, and wrapping the year with the release of his triple platinum album, Starboy. Starboy was a work that draws its strength from…

The Mandalorian is Exactly What Star Wars Needed
Hello there, it’s been a long time. A lot has happened since we last talked about Star Wars. We had the release of Episode IX, and it wasn’t pretty. We also had the launch of Disney+, meaning we got to see the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. This is not a review of Mando, I’m sure one of my teammates will get to that eventually. This is just going to be a mini analysis of why Star Wars needs to lean into new territory instead of dwelling on the past. So, we need to go back to the beginning. Star Wars has always been special. The original trilogy…

THE POWER OF FANDOM – A WOBAM Story
There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. Nick Fury That was Marvel’s The Avengers, and while this story is nowhere near as grand, it saved my life. From the outside WOBAM! Entertainment might seem like your typical nerd blog. We covered everything from news, reviews, editorials, and even a podcast. That’s not even close to what WOBAM was. It was a family. Paul Romano began to this project alone but somehow cultivated a culture so pure and welcoming that no matter who came and went, it still was…

Feature: Why I Love Dick Grayson
Robin was born with a very general purpose. He was there to give children a character to relate to in Batman’s world. Nine-year-old Michael couldn’t connect to the struggles of having a billionaire playboy lifestyle (neither can 22-year old Michael, but I digress.) Robin was simply there to represent the children who were reading the stories. This is where a good writer shines. They were able to make Dick Grayson one of the most relatable and entertaining characters in all of comics. I’m sure you all know the story but if not, here’s a brief recap. Dick is the son of two legendary acrobats; the family was known as The…

THEORY: Rian Johnson’s Evil Scheme to Ruin Our Childhoods Finally Exposed?
Three years ago this month, I exposed the nefarious scheme orchestrated by the brilliant minds at Marvel to infiltrate the DCEU with their spy Zack Snyder. What I failed to focus on at the time was the organization above Marvel that pulled the strings the entire time: Disney. Along with my brilliant team of researchers, academics, and investigative journalists, I’ve spent the last three years digging into the shocking secrets Disney hid from us for so long. Disney have recently been recruiting new members, with the latest addition to their empire being Rian Johnson. Yes, that Rian Johnson. Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out over a year ago, and…
