Hello there!

I'll cut right to the chase here: I love to write. It's not often that a passion can become a career, but that's the path I'm currently on. Every day is a challenge to not only keep that fire for creating content alive, but to push myself to be better in every way at my craft. I hope you like what you see here!

The ten best DC Universe animated movies

The distribution methods may have changed and the quality may have dipped here and there, but after a decade Warner Bros. Animation is stronger than ever.

The ten most wonderfully silly episodes of Teen Titans Go

You could argue then, that every episode of Teen Titans Go is silly. Which is 100% true, but there's silly and there is silly, if that makes sense.
