EXPeriencing Anime
Header image via. ~Dusts off blog. Cringes at last post date. Begins.~ I love that nerd/geek culture is a mainstream identity nowadays. I have previously been guilty of the “you’re not really a nerd” thought. Seeing people lean into fringe cultures of nerdism irritated me. But then I realized that there’s room for everyone to love the…

EXPeriencing ‘Stranger Things’
Cover image via. I didn’t mean to be late to the Stranger Things party, but that’s just how things happened. Terry and I were binge-watching Wayward Pines on Hulu when Stranger Things was released on Netflix. The first thing I noticed is both shows are tied to the Duffer Brothers. Terry and I were really enjoying Wayward Pines, so when we finished…

EXPeriencing the 2016 Tony Awards
Cover image via. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, June 12, 49 people were shot dead and 53 were wounded at a gay nightclub in Orlando. Eighteen hours later, the 70th Annual Tony Awards were held at the Beacon Theater in New York City. On a day where the LGBTQ community—and the United States—was devastated by…

EXPeriencing ‘Arrow’
Cover image via. I probably never would have started watching Arrow without having become addicted to The Flash first. Considering The Flash is a spin-off of Arrow, and considering The Flash is so well-written and engrossing, it stands to reason that Arrow should be about as good, too, right? I would say yes, but it’s a slower build up than The Flash. When Arrow started,…

EXPeriencing ‘The Flash’: Season One
Cover photo via MoviePilot. I typically think of myself as a Marvel Universe fan. I immersed myself in Marvel in the early 2000s when I saw X-Men and Spider-Man in theaters. They were fun, had intriguing characters, and everyone was full of powers that I craved as a teenager. (To the point that I was writing…

EXPeriencing Fox’s Monday Lineup (And Saying Goodbye to ‘The Bachelor’)
Cover image via Know Your Meme. I had every intention of bringing my laptop home from work this evening so I could live tweet the second half of The Bachelor and then write a blog post about what I thought of the show four weeks in. That plan was derailed when I kept my TV on…

EXPeriencing Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ (Season 2)
Cover image via Hypable. Caution, contains some spoilery things. I have previously noted my fangirl love of the Marvel cinematic universe, so it’s probably no surprise that I’m a big fan of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I was a little iffy about it when the first season premiered on ABC, so I didn’t watch it as it aired. I waited until…

EXPeriencing This Week’s Casting Announcements
Cover images via Zimbio & BlackFilm. This week saw two very different casting announcements for two projects I’m invested in: Netflix’s Daredevil and Ghostbusters (the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, to be exact). First was Tuesday’s announcement that Jon Bernthal would be joining the cast of Daredevil as The Punisher. Jon Bernthal, you may know, played Shane in…

EXPeriencing Netflix’s Daredevil
Image via Newsarama. I have four words for you regarding Netflix’s Daredevil series: Go watch it. Now. Seriously, it is so. good. My husband and I binge-watched the whole season (as you do with Netflix shows) a few weeks ago, and just wow. I am hooked. First, let me share two quick disclaimers: 1.) I love the Marvel cinematic…
