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

Running to the Nerdist Podcast
Cover image via Nerdist. (I have discovered a serious downside to posting once per week on the weekend.

Becoming a Star Wars Fan
When I started this post, it was meant to be a review of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But by the time I had finished my intro and even begun talking about the series, I was at nearly 400 words and the post about the show itself was only going to get

EXPeriencing Book Madness 2015
