I’m not a huge fan of the Sonic franchise… I played the first game in the 90s and a little of its sequel but dropped off after that. But I liked the first live action Sonic movie and really liked … Continue reading
Mufasa: The Lion King is the backstory you’ve been waiting thirty+ years for, admit it. Watching the original in 1991, you said to yourself, you said “What’s the story of this Darth Vader talkin’ mofo?”… even if you weren’t even … Continue reading
