My Latest Hyper Fixation

  I was hoping this movie would be good, I love Superman and wanted to see a movie that felt like a comic book come to life, trying my best not to have my expectations for this film be to high. I was super excited for this film, telling many how it alongside the Looney Tunes film "They Day The Earth Blew Up" were my most anticipated films coming out this year, my excitement building as I got closer to seeing both films. Much like that Looney Tunes film, not only were my hopes met, but they were surpassed in every way, leaving smiling ear to ear as I felt like a little kid again. I didn't like this movie, I LOVED it.  This movie will probably be my favorite movie of 2025, if not in the top three, I loved it that much. The action, writing, acting, music, the message, and the visuals, all of it felt like a comic book come to life. A comic book I would want to read over and over.  I will not dive to much into the story as I want to keep this post spoiler free, and dive deeper...

  (Source: Regal Cinemas) I still have not seen Top Gun Maverick, but this film who was also directed by the mind behind it Joseph Kosinski made me want to check it out, also he directed Tron Legacy which I saw in theaters back in the day and that film is amazing. But today is not about planes, or a digital world, it is about F1 racing. When I first saw the glowing praise this movie was getting I had to check it out for myself, and so I did, here are my thoughts. F1 follows Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes who does all kinds of races, gets called back into the world of formula one racing, he has to team up with  a new up and comer named Joshua Pearce played by Damson Idris , and work with an old friend, work with a new team and try to take this losing team to the top of the leaderboards before it is too late. There is drama, different view points on life, backstories, and of course tons of racing. This movie is really good, I had a great time watching it from start to finish. The a...

 I love a good chicken sandwich lately, from a fast food establishment or a sit down restaurant, a good piece of crispy chicken on a bun with some sauce, and I am set to go. One other thing I have been enjoying so much recently are food videos, whether it is someone eating at a restaurant every day for a week and some sort of food challenge, to cooking and reviews. Sometimes I combine the two because it just works, I love when something just works. Like only watching certain videos late at night because they remind me of classic MTV and G4, sometimes we just find a combination that brings comfort. I love all sorts of food based videos. I love PBG's food challenges of eating fast food or store bought food every day for a week, or someone trying a bunch of similar items and comparing. From value menus to specialty items that won't stay on the menu forever, sometimes watching someone try it first makes me want to try promotional food or new specialty menu items as well, it's j...

 Back when I was a kid, when I wasn't seeing a movie like "Star Wars Episode III : Revenge Of The Sith" or the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" films in theaters among plenty of other films both animated and live action, I loved going to the rental store. I loved getting a game and a couple movies, spending weekends all year round trying a game I did not have the funds to purchase or watching a movie that had long finished its run on the silver screen that I did not own or never got a theatrical run or even and I am a dating myself by saying this... a VHS tape. The rental store was a super cool place to go and find something new, or something I loved and borrow it for a little while, whether it was a weekend, a long weekend, school break, or just because, it was always the good time to go and rent games and movies. I did a whole podcast episode on game rental memories so I wanted to talk about my nostalgia for business that allowed you to rent things, and the current ...

 A while ago I have mentioned how the movie and musical "In The Heights" is a summer favorite of mine. There are so many mentions of the summer heat, the season itself and things associated with summer, and even two songs about selling shaved ice. I am sure I will talk about the show, the movie, its songs, themes and more in the future, but today I wanted to highlight the song "96.000".  Most of the cast whether it is in the film or the stage show, hear of a winning lottery ticket that sold, to the tune of 96.000. everyone begins to fantasize about what they would do with that amount of money. Each character singing about their dreams, many we have heard about before in the show, or line up with their characters and seems like what they would want. From wanting to start a new life elsewhere, to giving back to the neighborhood and investing in activism, to just wanting to take a break.  The song is  very high energy with lyrics that are outdated in some ways in the c...

 The new Mario Kart game is here, Mario Kart World, and there is plenty to talk about. I want to for now focus on the part of the game that I have been spending the most amount of time on, I have done some racing, and I really enjoy relaxing with the free roam mode,but when I boot up the game there is one mode I can not stop playing. Knockout tour, a battle royale mode where 24 players race through the different tracks trying to get in a certain place or higher, get lower then what is required and that is the end of the race for you. Passing through each check point and eliminating more and more racers until only 4 are left and the exhilarating sprint for first pace is closer then ever before. Using items, drifting, shortcuts, and collecting coins to keep your chosen vehicles acceleration up, all while making sure you are in a good position to not get eliminated means there's plenty to keep in mind, adding to the enjoyable yet frantic nature of this mode.   I can not stop...
