I’ll admit it, I’m a huge musical theatre geek. Ever since my mother took me to see Into the Woods when I was in 5th grade, I’ve been hooked. Half of my ipod is filled with the sounds of Broadway and my heart skips a beat whenever someone bursts into song on Smash. When I [...]

Hi WrongSiders! How excited was I to see Vera Brosgol’s graphic novel Anya’s Ghost under my Christmas tree? Super excited! I had actually tried to buy the book at SDCC over the summer, but it was sold out by the second day. It was the first thing I read from my holiday horde and it [...]

They brought such depth and gravity to the original X-Men movies when they could have easily veered into the realm of cheese.

Summer movie season is here! This is by far my favorite cinematic time of the year and this summer is offering up a freakish amount of popcorn fare and geek bait.

I’ve recently gone on a reading spree covering some of my favorites from my childhood… starting with Anne of Green Gables.
