With infection rates and confirmed cases still on the rise in California, SkySoft could not in good conscience ask its cast and crew to go out on set and risk their health and safety. With this in mind, the following shows have been cancelled : Ronin Last Look Beyond the Screen Additionally, the following shows have been delayed : Sherwood Mutant 5 Love, Infatuation, and Stability Beast Finally, the Fox prequel series Eve is to be determined while future seasons of Sherwood have been cut. Season 1 will be it's only season. However, it isn’t all bad news. Along with the cancellation and delay announcements came the news that the upcoming docuseries about SkyS...

by Daniel Andrade Courtesy of the Library of Congress For over 400 years, since before the United States gained its independence, this country has suffered from a toxic disease that it has never been able to cure itself of. It may not be the same type of poison that it started off as, but it has evolved and persisted and continues to be just as dangerous today. America has a problem, and that problem is racism and the white privilege that has allowed this racism to persist as long as it has. What has made this problem much more glaring recently is the tragic death of George Floyd under the knee of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin.  While there have unfortunately been too many similar incidents involving police officers or other white men either brutally attacking or killing black men, many of which have also been recorded on camera, this incident was particularly grievous. Many are familiar with the appalling stories of Trayvon Martin , Tamir Rice , Philando ...

by Daniel Andrade Courtesy of Netflix Ryan Murphy is arguably one of the most prolific TV creators of our time. From Nip/Tuck and Glee to American Horror/Crime Story and Pose , Murphy is no stranger to making memorable and award-winning shows. His trademarks of a dark yet comedic tone, a cast of complex and layered characters, and a slick style that transcends genres are immediately recognizable from the first moments his shows begin. And yet, with all that clearly in mind, I have to admit I’ve struggled to complete many of Murphy’s shows. I’ve had no problems starting them, but after four to five episodes, I start to lose the drive to keep watching. While I’ve started almost every one of his shows, I’ve only seen three of them in their entirety ( Glee , the first American Horror Story, and American Horror Story: Cult , and admittedly that last one I basically forced myself to finish it because I made it past the 5 episode barrier). Oddly enough, I know I’m not the only on...

Whether it’s a run around the neighborhood or high-intensity interval training in my room, I’ve been trying my best to exercise throughout the week. One of the major things that has helped me get through some of these tougher workouts is my playlist, which mostly consists of hard rock anthems. I was curious to see if my playlist was unique, so I asked a few other friends what they exercise to. What kept them going through a workout? Photo by Patrik Michalicka on Unsplash The results were interesting. While I’m sweating to Linkin Park and Disturbed, some of my other friends were getting pumped up by Dua Lipa and Justin Timberlake. Were there musical selections any more effective than mine? Is there a reason why we gravitate toward certain songs when we’re in a good mood, or why we pick certain tunes to h...

by Daniel Andrade Courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures When it comes to great partners, many examples come to mind: peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, Mario and Luigi, etc. But this list would be incomplete if it didn’t include the greatest entertainment partnership of the last 25 years: Disney and Pixar. They have a practically perfect track record when it comes to their collaborative efforts thanks to the incredible way they are able to craft emotional stories that impact viewers both young and old, all while showing off their impressive animation skills. They always find a unique way to tell such moving stories, and Onward is no exception. Thanks to its recent release on Disney+, I was able to watch it in the comfort of my own home. Onward shows us what would have happened if all the classic fairytale and mythical creatures we know were introduced to the modern technologies we are all accustomed to: the internet, electricity, social media, cars, smartphones, etc. Th...
