The NHL and NBA playoffs have kicked off, with the Bulls and Blackhawks continuing their new standard of not participating in them. The MLB season is […]

Movie Club: Sinners

Posted by on 4.21.25 in What is Alex Thinking?

   Welcome back movie club members! This week, I saw Ryan Coogler’s Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld. One of the higher rated original projects I’ve seen in a few years, it certainly had a lot of hype. In my opinion, it was deserved, and this was excellent. Ryan Coogler and Michael B. […]

Book Club: Iron Gold

Posted by on 4.21.25 in What is Alex Thinking?

   Welcome back book club readers!  I just got done reading Iron Gold, the follow up book to the Red Rising series that I’ve blogged extensively on.

This Week in TV: RIP Joel Miller

   Welcome back movie club! This week I’m going to talk about Warfare, which is written by US combat veteran Ray Mendoza.

This Week in TV: The White Lotus Season Three Finale

Posted by on 4.8.25 in What is Alex Thinking?

   Welcome back blog readers! This week I’m going to discuss the season three finale of The White Lotus that premiered this last Sunday. I am a huge fan of the show, and I think season three was pretty polarizing so let’s go over it. Like always, this really is a show about nothing. It’s […]
