I didn’t really ever think about graphic design and how much thought is put into visual media until I watched La La Land. That movie pays close attention to the colors used and what messages and feelings they’re supposed to convey to the audience. That is the first movie that made me pay attention to ...

One of my favorite podcast shows is Dissect, where each season features one album, and every episode is a song off of the album. The host spends each 40 minute episode dissecting each song, lyric by lyric. If I were to host a radio show, I would definitely make it about pop culture. Whether that ...

The story that I chose to analyze is the show Arrested Development (but only seasons 1 through 3). The “I link, therefore I am” text talked about the idea of linear storytelling. This show does a really good job of making several different stories all connect to become linear. Each episode will follow separate sets ...
