May 17, 2018: Dark Matter Episode 401 – Act 1!
I experienced a range of emotions upon hearing of Dark Matter's surprising cancellation: disbelief, anger, sadness, and a lot of frustration at the thought of leaving this story incomplete. As most of you know, I went in with a game plan from Day 1, a thorough narrative blueprint encompassing every story and character arc over…

May 12, 2018: 10 Times Richie Rich Was A Dick!
Look, as a foodie, I'm the last person who is going to criticize someone's menu selections. If you want to shell out an extra $50 to top your scallops with Osetra caviar or spend $150 to finish that risotto with white truffle shavings, why not? Who am I to say anything? On my first trip…

April 26, 2018: Actor Andrew Moodie Answers Your Questions!

April 10, 2018: #ILoveComics
I've always been an avid reader. One of my most prized possessions during my elementary school years was a leather-bound copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. I recall sitting down in my basement, writing up summaries of each act of every play, carefully recording them in a dedicated spiral-bound notebook. As an early…
