I love how the new Superman film serves as an entry for kids to become fans of him! In celebration of that, check out the new episode of my series, Generational Talk, for a discussion with my boys about the movie!

The new Superman heavily channels the kind of energy that makes Mr. Smith Goes to Washington a favorite.

I’m flipping through oldest son’s middle school yearbook, & honestly, it looks just like it did back in my day. No shocks. Just a remix of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. Has anything really changed? Today’s style feels like a mash-up of all the past decades

I thought it was very well done with great casting and exploration on genre. I won’t share a full review because this is something best experienced for yourself. This particular image was during a powerful moment, and the commentary on music and the black experience was especially impactful.

Issa Rae killed it in Episode 3 of Black Mirror Season 7. One of her best performances and the one that pulled me back into the series.

What’s really weirding me out is seeing people who look like grown adults but have never heard of free minutes after 9 p.m.

Thanks, Apple, for The Studio! It’s painful watching it, though. Will The Morning Show get another season?

Back then, The Handmaid’s Tale was the perfect cautionary tale.
Now? Watching the news on Hulu feels a little too on the nose.

Obama’s win seemed like the death of Republican Party. Then the Tea Party became a populist revival. Is the Left on the verge of having their own populist version of the Tea Party moment?

Finally watching Snow White and for the first time ever, I actually prefer the Snow White scenes over the evil and dark magical queen stuff. Lol. Funny how Snow gets most of the heat, though.

I’ve been thinking about how Superman has always reflected the vibe of America.
When he showed up in the ’30s, he felt like an immigrant hero, fighting corrupt landlords, greedy bankers, and standing up for the little guy. He had that Depression era, everyday-people energy.

Had a beautiful chat with my oldest aunt (b. 1932), a bold, cause-driven woman. She’s lived through the Depression, wars, McCarthyism, & the Civil Rights era, but says today’s world is the first time she’s afraid to share her views with neighbors because of too many broken norms and no shared trust.
