These are the heavy hitters you see on social media all the time. But the world of shonen is a lot bigger than that. Beneath the superstar layer […]
There are some movies that automatically pop into your head the moment the air turns colder and Christmas trees start showing up on social media. Home Alone is one of those. As a kid, it felt very simple. Kevin was clever, the burglars were dumb, the traps were hilarious, and the more they hurt, the […]
