Pop Culture Chronicles

This past week, I had the opportunity to relive old childhood memories with a friend and watch the all-new Power Rangers movie, Starring Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Banks and Bill Hader. As I expected, it was not a success. That isn't saying much , considering the previous movies in the 90s and 2000s were cheesy but this one is rotten cheese. The plot is based on a group of teens in a Midwest highschool who are a bunch of outsiders in some respect. The classic movie archetype of a band of misfits, which you see in films, such as the Breakfast Club, where a a nerd, pretty girl, jock, class clown, toublemaker and misunderstood girl come together.  the group encounters some radicoative stones found in their local mine and discover their powers and new headquaters with alien activity, Cranston plays Zordon, former red ranger and leader millions of years ago. He helps train and cultivate the new rangers powers to potential defeat rogue ranger and villain, Rita Repulsa, ( Banks). Rita land...

Well musics fans, Drake has come back with new ammunition and his new album, More Life. More Life debuted today on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.  More Life marks the Canadian rapper's 8 album and it is an absolute banger. . He's come a long way from So Far Gone back in 2008.

I fell in "love" with this show last year. Love, starring Paul Rust, Gillian Jacobs( Community) and created by Judd Apatow and Paul Rust, centers around a 30-yr old dorky Gus. Gus  ( Rust) is a geeky guy from South Dakota, who's lived for LA for a while and works a teacher for child actors on Hollywood sets. He goes through a breakup and feels down for a while, until he meets Mickey ( Jacobs), who is the complete opposite of him. She's brash, careless, wild, an avid party-goer,boozer, drug user, and sex addict. She meets Gus and finds an interesting  liking to him. Along the way, they get to know each other and try to form a new friendship or potential romance. They learn to pick each other up and navigate crazy LA. Also, they learn how to push each other's buttons based on their polar opposite personalities. The show is witty, sharp, addicting  and real. Be warned, you will binge watch this show and want more.  Seasons 1 and 2 are available now on Netflix.  Go ...
