Artistic, musical, creative, and entertaining topics of art about all things geek.

Thank You, Makima
About a year ago, I did something I am not very proud of: I published a crappy opinion piece. Said crappy opinion piece resides here on Vocal, and it is—unfortunately—about one of my favorite characters in all of anime and manga: Makima.

The Spiritual Consequence of Masturbation
Many individuals don't talk about masturbation, and especially avoid the topic in spiritual circles. And while most will talk about it from a medical or psychological standpoint, not much is mentioned about the spiritual aspects.

Poker Face Season 2, Episode 5 Review
A entertaining but predictable (and ultimately underwhelming) episode of Poker Face features Charlie Cale facing off against a former small-town baseball pitcher who possesses a lethal fastball. "Hometown Hero," the fifth episode of Poker Face season 2, is the season's first significant disappointment. Although there are some funny moments and some amazing guest stars in this episode, it doesn't live up to the high bar the series has set for itself.

Love, Death + Robots: All Volume 4 Episode Endings Explained
Ten distinct stories covering a wide range of issues were included in volume 4 of Netflix's (mainly) animated anthology series Love, Death + Robots, and each one could benefit a closer examination. The anthology series Love, Death + Robots has always been profoundly reflective and metaphorical. Every episode reveals a deeper, hidden truth about the fanciful sci-fi worlds we're headed toward or the weird, current reality we live in. It's among the greatest Netflix series as a result. Fortunately, volume 4 of Love, Death + Robots continues its symbolic storytelling.

"The Struggle of Father"
The Father: A Haunting Portrait of Dementia and Identity Florian Zeller’s The Father is a poignant and psychologically unsettling film that explores the harrowing descent into dementia. Released in 2020 and based on Zeller’s own stage play Le Père, the film stars Anthony Hopkins in a career-defining performance as an aging man struggling to hold on to his sense of reality as his mind begins to unravel. The film’s brilliance lies not just in its subject matter, but in the way it invites the viewer into the fractured mental landscape of its protagonist.

Final Destination Bloodlines Ending Explained
Rarely is Death's scheme foiled, which brings the Final Destination Bloodlines franchise to yet another tragic end. By seemingly connecting all of the entries as part of Death's larger scheme, the sixth film in the horror series reinvents the canon. Following the introduction of the main cast and Stefani's visions of her grandmother Iris and the Skyview catastrophe, the plot of Final Destination Bloodlines takes a turn for the worse when the eldest to youngest direct descendants of Iris' bloodline start to pass away. Stefani's uncle Howard passes away soon after Iris, and then her cousins Julia, Erik, and Bobby follow.

Bridgerton-Inspired Gowns
Let’s admit it—after watching Bridgerton, we’ve all imagined ourselves as a duchess, gliding across a ballroom in a breathtaking gown, soft classical music playing in the background, and eyes locking with a mysterious stranger. But unless you’re actually living in Regency-era London (or starring in a Netflix series), pulling off that look IRL might feel… extra.
