Is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Superversive?

It's been a while since we did one of these. I can think of no better occasion than the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the latest movie from Hollywood's last auteur director. Tarantino has called this film a love letter to Hollywood. That's an apt description. Specifically,…

Missing Pieces

When you really come to accept the influence that spiritual evil can have on the mundane world, it's hard not to see a sinister unseen hand behind the more tragic and puzzling events of your life. To be sure, you can't discount apophenia--seeing patterns where none exist. The human brain…

Did Normies Ruin Comics?

Did Normies Ruin Comics?

A cherished reader passed along this video by David Stewart, wherein David addresses the theory that an influx of normies ruined the comics industry. From the transcript: I don't think that normal or mainstream people ruined comics at all. I actually think it was the opposite. Comics were taken out…

A commenter on my recent review of definitive Gen Y high school movie Clueless writes: How tied to is gen y. I mean, I've experienced and seen a lot of failure in my life and others. Is it a trait? By what means can it be overcome if it is? I…

MCU: The Inversion of Christ

This video comes to us from a reader who, like many, is coming to realize that Disney and Marvel aren't making movies. They're churning out Christianity-subverting propaganda.

Utopian vs Cultist

Mean Heathers

Mean Heathers

Hollywood producers long ago figured out that they could repackage audiences' high school experience and sell it back to them. It's a testament to human vanity that a four year stint in what now amounts to a juvenile detention center can be glamorized into a long-running subgenre. As with everything,…

Even Jesuits are starting to realize there's no political solution to America's problems.

The Alabama Gambit

The Alabama Gambit

Taking the temperature of the room, most people seem burned out with politics these days. It's probably because if the Trump presidency has accomplished one thing, it's to convince most people that there is no political solution to our problems.
