The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run Review
After 22 years on television, Spongebob Squarepants is just as popular as he’s ever been. That’s mostly due to the character’s classic brand of optimistic silliness, which is also what keeps his new movie from falling apart.

Judas and the Black Messiah Review
To say the story of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther movement of the 1960s has not been well represented in mainstream media is an understatement.
