Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 9:33 am By J. Ryan Parker

True Detective, “The Western Book of the Dead” Post Mortem

Last updated on: June 22, 2015 at 11:26 am By J. Ryan Parker

Given the ever-improving nature of television dramas, it’s difficult to write confidently about a series after the pilot episode or to write off a series after a bad episode or two. How many people absolutely loved the first episode of The Wire? Writers and producers are playing a long game and people who reflect on the medium must adapt as well. Yet as a massive fan of the first season of True Detective, I wanted to weigh in on last night’s second season premier,... Read more

Is the Soul Gendered?

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 11:19 am By Richard Lindsay

I’ve noticed recently that when you post an article on Facebook, the all-knowing Newsfeed will post three articles below your post – two that agree with the article you posted and one that disagrees. This is an interesting idea, and may help break down the “echo chamber” that so much of our online dialogue has become. But then, sometimes, the articles Big Brother Facebook suggests are just downright offensive. Looking over some postings on the remarkable coming out of Caitlyn... Read more

ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL: Or Why We Should Celebrate the Rise of the Nones

Last updated on: June 10, 2015 at 8:48 am By J. Ryan Parker

A few weeks ago, the Pew Research Center released their latest study on America’s changing religious landscape, which finds that young folks are not attending–or leaving–the church in droves. The “Nones” (or as George Clooney’s character, Ulysses Everett McGill, referred to himself in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the “unaffiliated”) are on the rise. Christians of all stripes continue to speculate and worry about what this means for our future…another case of what Richard Lindsay likes to call BWAK (“but what about the... Read more

Grief, Revenge, and Other Ghosts of the Past in Netflix’s BLOODLINE

Last updated on: June 1, 2015 at 8:22 am By J. Ryan Parker

With so much good original Netflix content, you’d be forgiven for bailing on Bloodline after the first episode or two, especially when Daredevil released only a couple of weeks later. Bloodline‘s narrative starts slow, even if it is bolstered by stellar performances. If you’re patient enough, however, you’ll be rewarded with a story that rises to the level of its actors’ considerable talent. WARNING: A SPOILER-FILLED REFLECTION AHEAD. (more…) Read more

The Art of Forgetting Fossils: A Review of Sufjan Stevens’ ‘Carrie and Lowell’

Benjamin Griffin is back. Now a resident of that hipster paradise of Austin, TX, he reviews Sufjan Stevens’ latest album, Carrie and Lowell. The Art of Forgetting Fossils: A Review of Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie and Lowell By Benjamin Drew Griffin We don’t know who Sufjan Stevens is. Some have claimed him as this generation’s greatest folk artist, a master of Americana orchestration and literary construction – but they were foiled by the glittery psychedelia and opaque personal deconstruction of Age...
