I've been a lifelong over-indulger of pop culture, from movies to music to television to books, so I figured I'd start writing about it if only to stay literate.
The Mummy (1932)
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed by Universal’s first Mummy movie. Granted my exposure to the Mummy movies has been

The Edge of Seventeen (2016)
Recalling the heights of “The Breakfast Club,” not to mention more modern teen classics like “Easy A” and “Whip It,” Kelly Fremon Craig’s directorial debut
