Celebrating 20 Years of Hannah Montana
Disney Channel had some of the best shows and movies that aired in 2006. However, there was show that would leave a lasting impact for Disney for decades to come. That show was called Hannah Montana. The titular character starred now Grammy award-winning artist and Disney Legend Miley Cyrus. Cyrus received the latter honor in 2024 for her contributions to the company. The streaming platform, Disney+, will air a 20th anniversary special on March 24, exactly two decades to the day the original series premiered. Hannah Montana aired from 2006 to 2011, lasting four seasons and 98 episodes. Miley Cyrus portrayed Miley Stewart, a teenager who had to keep her pop star identity a secret from the public. Only her close family and friends knew her secret identity. In this story, I'll be highlighting some of my favorite Hannah Montana songs. There are four words that describe her songs: inspirational, powerful, emotional, and empowering. In a later story, I'll highlight some of my favorite Hannah Montana episodes. In the meantime, once you've read this story, let me know in the comments section below what are some of your favorite songs from the tv series. Also, what is your favorite Hannah Montana album.

Stand By Me: A Timeless Journey of Friendship Returns to Theaters for Its 40th Anniversary
Few films capture the bittersweet ache of growing up as powerfully as Stand By Me. Adapted from Stephen King’s novella The Body, Rob Reiner’s 1986 classic remains a cultural touchstone—an intimate portrait of childhood friendship, grief, courage, and the moment innocence gives way to something more complicated. As the film approaches its 40th anniversary, AMC Theatres is bringing it back to the big screen, giving longtime fans and new audiences the chance to rediscover its magic.

Only Lovers Left Alive
Today I watched "Only Lovers Left Alive," a 2013 Jim Jarmusch film. It is hard to define its genre: Wikipedia describes it as "Gothic fantasy comedy-drama," but I've also seen it defined as "horror thriller." I guess to say it has a little bit of everything would be fair. I'm going to run it quickly through my usual media literacy analysis, with major spoilers included. So if you want to watch it and hate spoilers, you should probably stop here.

Wuthering Heights Movie Review
Over a century after its release, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights remains a classic of English literature; it has been adapted many times on the big screen, reaching across many cultures and filmmaking styles. The latest attempt goes for a modern approach and style, but it’s a rotten production from top to bottom.

Before Shadow, we were going to get Terios
What do Sonic and Shadow have in common? They are both hedgehogs, and they're both super-fast. However, there's a saying that they look alike, but I beg to differ you can clearly see they are so different from each other. Almost like Sonic and Shadow balance each other out. One is Yin, the other is Yang. I wanted to know why the character Amy constantly mistakes Shadow for Sonic. And being a complete nerd, I did some research, and the reason behind this whole thing of Sonic and Shadow supposedly looking exactly alike is because of the prototype of the character Terios the hedgehog. That was designed to be Sonic’s rival, figuratively speaking. Shadow wasn't supposed to exist; he was a last-minute change. Here's what I mean: Terios is literally a replica, you could say a mirror, because his name, in Japanese, means "reflection" or "imitation". He is primarily known as a piece of "lost" Sonic history that reappeared as an unlockable skin for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations, It's good to see the prototype actually got some time in the gaming, even though it was put back in storage.

Kenton of the Star Patrol: A review of Stories: Vampires of the Void, and Serein's of Space
In this episode of the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast, the host reviews two early 1950s pre-code comic stories featuring Wilson Keaton from "Star Patrol" in "Strange Worlds." In “Vampires of the Void,” Keaton battles Queen Misery, who uses humans to power her planet’s generators. In “Sirens of Space,” Keaton confronts a queen who hypnotizes and enslaves space liner passengers with her voice. Both stories highlight classic pulp sci-fi action, inventive villains, and pre-code comic edginess, while the host reflects on the era’s storytelling and ethical themes.
