The anticipation for Thursday’s Nintendo Direct came to a screeching halt after the final two characters: Ken and Inceniroar were revealed in the opening trailer. Sakurai quickly confirmed that the Direct would focus on the games other features: such as Spirits mode (a revamped version of the Game’s Trophies, combined with the sticker upgrades from … Continue reading So your favorite character didn’t get in Smash?

We’ve reached that sweet spot of the year when football is getting intense, a new world series champion is being crowned, and basketball season is starting. Since NBA isn’t usually in our wheelhouse, we brought on @Pattric to talk hoops with us. We give finals predictions, pass out way-too-early individual awards and ask the important … Continue reading Politics As Usual – Episode.3: Does AJ Look Like Randy Foye featuring @Pattric
First off, allow me to offer my apologies for the delay. I said I would do these random reviews monthly and my last review was nearly two months ago. When I made a poll of possible movies to do next, Donnie Darko won overwhelmingly. People even went out of their way to say “You HAVE to … Continue reading Ron’s Random Reviews: Donnie Darko
Ebony and I had the honor of attending the 20th Sidewalk Film Festival. The festival made a slight relocation to the Pizitz Food Hall. Although they’re not quite ready to cut the ribbon, I was excited about their facilities. As an entry-level lover of cinema, attending both the tour and festival itself was a pretty … Continue reading KWC x Sidewalk Film Festival Recap
For many years, Birmingham’s Secret Stages has taken the task of collecting the best-kept secrets of the music scene and giving them a platform. 2018’s festival relocated to the bustling Avondale district but the spirit remained the same. Many great acts performed throughout the weekend but we would like to highlight three we saw: Kadesh … Continue reading The Kids Wear Crowns x Secret Stages Recap: Artists You Need to See
If you’re ever curious about a show, don’t worry, we got you. Our newest recommendation Netflix’s coming-of-age dramedy On My Block
It’s late July, and we’re bored. Bet you won’t fight about it. The Hall of Fame game is 10 days away, and with it comes the mediocre kick off to the NFL Pre-Season that we seem to get overhyped for every year despite growing bored with the game 4 minutes in. That’s all good. The … Continue reading The 2018 NFL QB Rankings by the KWC Committee
Hope Solo should be an American hero. First, she has a cool name. I love a great sports name and it gets no better than “Hope Solo”. She has won FIFA’s Golden Glove award several times, which is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the World Cup. She even won the Golden Ball which goes … Continue reading Hope Solo is Right: Let’s Talk About the State of Soccer in America
Hannah Gadsby’s latest Netflix contribution, Nanette, is being touted as a transformative stand-up special. Comedian and guest blogger @Rod4Short discusses his problems with its reception.
You know what time it is! List time! Because we are nothing if not list makers. Actually, this site pretends to pass off original content but we’re really about the lists. Seriously though, I love lists because they’re a good way to pick everyone’s mind. I often find a few things I missed during the … Continue reading The Best Albums of 2018 (So Far)
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
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.
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?
Wow, what a year. My list for 2016 was pretty challenging, or so I thought. 2017 blew the previous year out the water. I intended for this list to be “The 17 Best Movies of 2017” but my list ended up being 25. By my guesstimation, I watched 50-60 this year. Half of them were … Continue reading The Best Movies of 2017
