My Hero Academia: Episode 29 Review

My Hero Academia: Episode 29 Review

My Hero Academia continues to raise the stakes. After two episodes of training we are right back into the action as some of the students from UA begin to fight Stain, while local heroes deal with the attack of 3 Nomu that are ransacking the city. From the get go Iida takes on Stain. I was expecting an exciting fight scene to go down between the two characters as Iida tried to take his revenge, but instead the fight lasts all of ten seconds as Stain immediately takes down Ii

The Big Sick: You've Got Kumail

The Big Sick: You've Got Kumail

The Big Sick is a RomCom about a Pakistani-American comedian who struggles with his family's traditions while maintaining a rocky relationship with a woman in a coma. And it is based on a true story. It's alright, I know you're afraid. The potential for clichés and preachy “America is a melting pot, you middle-American, Red State bigots!” As well as sappy, “I can’t lose her, Doc!

Deku begins his internship with his new mentor, Gran Torino a consistently baffling old man who teaches Deku lessons while weaving in and out of coherent thought.

While All Might was able to encourage and push Deku using charm and bravado, he never taught him any techniques. Deku may have a few fighting moves, but he is compl

Imaginary Mary: Make Believe, Not War.

Imaginary Mary: Make Believe, Not War.

Imaginary Mary is the easily the most whimsical new sitcom on television. It's Alf for a new generation; the titular Mary (Rachel Dratch) being Alice's (Jenna Elfman) childhood imaginary friend, who reappears to help the now-PR exec with her new beau's children. Dratch's voice and the adorable appearance of Mary carry the show. I haven't wanted to befriend a fictional character since Gizmo and Falcor were en vogue. It's hard to believe something CGI can be this stinkin' cute.
