The rumors of Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu have been swirling for a few weeks on Reddit and other similar websites. Predictions of what the product would actually be and whether or not it would tie into Generation 8 have been flying just as rapidly. Finally, after rampant speculation, Nintendo released the … Continue reading Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu Expectations and Reactions
Every now and then, a show I love seems to fall through the cracks. I find myself engulfed in something wonderful and wishing I had someone to recap the episodes with.
You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but if you’re the NFL, you can’t please anybody
Hollis Mason is displeased. Don’t be Hollis Mason.
It wasn’t that long ago that cosplaying as a whole was seen as something that only “losers” and the socially awkward. As social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and of course Reddit have expanded and taken over as some of the major outlets of conversation in our society, a lot of stigmas of old … Continue reading Meet Cameron, the Alabama Cosplayer who took the @pokereddit by storm
I packed a few of my belongings left the life that I was living just some memories of it mostly the ones I can’t forget We’ve had the discussion several times on DCIP about what it takes to be a “classic” album, specifically in the realm of hip hop.

Social Media is an incredible tool. We use it to connect with friends, converse with strangers and discover new trends. When Award Shows come on, we watch as a “family” and laugh and joke at all the ridiculousness that we see on a daily basis. So it’s pretty cool to watch trends pop up in … Continue reading Let people enjoy things

She’s fine too.
But she might be 5’2.
The 90s were a weird time. We liked wearing loud, baggy clothing, new jack swing style music, not knowing what the internet was and a little learnin’ with our cartoons. Okay, not really. Back in 1990 Congress passed the Children’s Television Act which basically mandated that networks have certain time allotted to educational programming. In … Continue reading Histeria!

Okay, so boom. NFL ratings are down. You know that, I know that, he/she/they know that. There are many who contribute this to the racial inequality protests, some who attribute it to the blackballing of Kaepernick and some who think it’s more of a quality problem, see above. To me, it’s a combination of all … Continue reading It’s not just a modern day trend: the NFL has ALWAYS had a lot of bad QBs

You’ve seen Infinity War by now. This post started off as a review but I decided to change the direction after seeing what it was becoming. My review: Freaking awesome. What’s far more important, anyway, is ranking Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. This movie seamlessly weaved together a wide range of characters all in different locations. So here is … Continue reading Earth’s Mightest Hero: The Infinity War Power Rankings

“Do you know about the Great Gum War?” Adventure Time will likely go down as a Top 5 show in Cartoon Network history, with its humor, overarching storyline and philosophical quotes and ideas. The show is absolutely responsible for Cartoon Network’s revival in the 2010s, as it was dying a slow death due to the … Continue reading It’s @AdventureTime Finale Theory Time
Acting is hard. I’m not sure if y’all know this, but it takes a lot to really be a good actor. It involves really studying a character and taking on their personality and the life provided for them within the pages of script. Voice acting is just as hard. If you’re thinking you can just … Continue reading Nostalgia, Ultra: All hail Cree Summer
Twitter exists in a dichotomy: once new material is released or a new thought is created, it must be placed into being a classic, or trash. There is no in between. Let me be clear – fandoms are great, they are fun little spaces for us to be part of as we witness an artist … Continue reading Stan Culture is annoying and ruining everything
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. – Bruce Wayne/Sean Carter People change. They have new interactions and grow in terms of their ideas and thoughts.

Upon checking his voice messages, Mr. Isley notes that the only people to call his home were a few close friends and a few collections agencies.

When you’re a third grader, the phrases anxiety and emotionally damaged is something that is foreign to you. However, as I sit and peck away on my phone to write this column, the first seeds of my long battle with anxiety began with a simple report card.

Sometime in 2007 or 2008, I felt myself looking to other genres for musical fulfillment. Hip-hop has always been my first love, but I think there comes a time when everyone begins to explore outside of their bubble. My foray into other corners of music has taken some strange twists and turns. Like anything, when … Continue reading A Beautiful World: 15 Year Anniversary

No other year in recent history had as many great movies as 2017 did. The Best Picture Category of the Academy Awards contained and each had a legitimate case to take the award home. Since it was a really deep year, a few good movies were snubbed. I can talk about Blade Runner 2049 until … Continue reading The Florida Project: 2017’s Hidden Gem
There are two types of movies I usually stay away from 1) The seasonal Madea movie 2) Scary movies. Scary movies are hardly ever scary. They’re usually full of jump-scares and cheap tricks.

In honor of the OutKast Madness bracket we ran on @TheKWCBlog twitter page over the last few days, it’s time to honor one of the greatest acts in music with their own playlist.

After Earn pissed everyone off last week, I’m so glad this week’s episode is taking a break from him. Atlanta’s latest offering focuses on a triggering experience for every black man alive: the trip to the barbershop. A simple grooming task like this should only take fifteen minutes max but it can end up being an … Continue reading Bibby: “Barbershop” Episode Recap #AtlantaFX
Football is an inherently violent sport. We all know this, we understand this. Somewhere between the CTE comments on Twitter and how our reaction to big hits have changed over the last decade, we still know and understand that the sport itself is violent. We’re sitting in a strange place between knowingly watching people beat … Continue reading I’m torn on the NFL’s new “Crown of the Helmet” rule

Oh the early to mid 2000s. Certainly an era. In rap, it’s when the South really began to take over the game and start dominating the charts. From serious longterm contenders like T.I. to fly-by-nights like The Shop Boyz and D4L and Dorrough, there was enough music rolling around to make you bounce. Maybe give … Continue reading [Playlist Monday] Tall Tees and Throwback Jerseys

Atlanta opened with a scene that really had nothing to do with the rest of the episode. It mimics the Christian mom video that called out Vince Staples for his “Norf Norf” lyrics. I’m always appreciative of how aware of the world this show seems to be. During its hiatus, it’s been watching and listening to … Continue reading Shout Out to Colin Kaepernick – “Money Bag Shawty” Episode Recap #AtlantaFX
Greetings all, I’m back with a new offering about a movie that is essential viewing. This movie requires no introduction because I already introduced it in the title.

March is Women’s History Month, so what better way to celebrate a [Playlist Monday] than by celebrating groundbreaking women in the music industry.

It’s ok when Murtaugh says it because he’s Murtaugh. He has a walking timebomb for a partner and is looking forward to retirement. I’d be tired too. What about you though? There seems to be this awful idea that the older you get, the less you should spend time on “frivolous” things. At a certain … Continue reading I’m getting too old for this sh-t
Hype train, can you hear it? I saw the news of a Nintendo Direct for March 8, but wasn’t in any position to watch the live stream when it aired.

It is now the time where we over-analyze what happened at the combine recently. A guy who is a first round talent may drop to the 3rd Round because he ran a slow 40 yard dash. A guy who was not even on some board maybe a draft steal because of his broad jump. Your … Continue reading DJ Swole’s NFL Mock Draft: PART I
A year ago, the world saw Logan for one last time. Now, I discuss the lasting legacy of both this movie and its iconic hero.
On January 22, 2018, Jackson, Mississippi resident Stacey Spiehler celebrated a milestone. It marked two years to the day that Ms. Spiehler last took a drop of alcohol as well as used drugs. A week prior to her two-year anniversary of being sober, the readers of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger voted her the top server in … Continue reading Q&A with Stacey Spiehler
Everyone’s favorite thing to do after the Oscars is to immediately critique and add their opinions.

“What flavor is Flamin’ Hot Cheetos?”
I don’t need to go back to the 90s, it’s okay to acknowledge that it’s 2018 y’all.
I’m generally easy to please when it comes to movies, but one thing I dislike is when everyone becomes a hero. Yes, I love a good story about redemption, but nothing is more satisfying than when a hero thwarts a villain’s plot because he truly got the best of him. With this in mind, I’ve … Continue reading Bad Boys, Bad Boys (Fantasy Edition)
So Sean Miller will likely be out of a job soon and that’ll probably be the least of his worries.

Jokes aside there’s a hard hammer that’s coming to … Continue reading NCAA’s fix is simple: Increase the stipend, let them benefit off their likeness

This isn’t a review. I can give you a review in one word: Amazing. Rather, this is an exploration of a core theme in Alex Garland’s sci-fi films thus far.
I know it was rushed at the end. I know we had two players essentially quit. I know the winner was questionable… Despite all that. It was a success. Celebrity Big Brother did exactly what CBS hoped it would do: be entertaining, captivate audiences for 3 weeks, come second place to the Olympics but blow … Continue reading Celebrity Big Brother was a success
Hopefully, you’ve seen Black Panther by now. Twice. Instead of doing a review like I typically do, I decided to scrap that idea in favor of bridging the Black Panther movie to the remaining movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are surely a lot of shakeups ahead, so this is far more interesting anyway. Most … Continue reading What’s Next for the Avengers After Black Panther?

Had it not been for Kevin Smith, New Orleans residents Caitrin and Dave Gladow would have never met each other. “This was in 2006,” Mrs. Gladow said recently, “I was newly single and not looking.

A trailer is a small peek-hole into a world you don’t know about. A good trailer is a gateway drug. “Inject it into my veins!!!” as the youth say. Well, the youth also eat Tide Pods, so maybe they aren’t the best example to quote. Regardless, if your trailer isn’t going big, go home. Your … Continue reading What Makes a Good Trailer?
For this post, I have to take you back, way back…back into time. A time where velour sweatsuits were considered club attire. Where wearing a durag under a headband, under a hat after getting a fresh haircut was considered normal behavior. Where gaudy NBA logos adorned all manner of grossly oversized denim. The mid 2000s … Continue reading The Mystery Of Smilez and Southstar
