REVIEW: Dune - Part Two (2024)
A film by Denis Villeneuve 2021 was a tumultuous time in the film industry, with the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic impacting studios and theaters alike. To adapt, theaters began showcasing older and foreign films, a trend that continues today and one I personally appreciate (how else would I have discovered so much anime last year!). Studios also experimented with innovative…

REVIEW: Central States Wrestling - No One Rides for Free (2024)
A Live professional Wrestling event from CSW If you are asking yourself, “hey why hasn’t Arcadia Pod covered CSW in a while?”, I have answers for you.

REVIEW: Madame Web (2024)
A Film, directed by S.J. Clarkson Having an AMC A-List membership sometimes leads me to see films I wouldn’t typically choose to watch under normal circumstances. This has resulted in some pleasant surprises where I stumble upon excellent films, but it has also led to a few disappointments. My son and I decided to see the controversial new film from Sony Pictures, Madame Web, which is vaguely…

An Interview with Professional Wrestler Miracle Mike James
Miracle Mike James has gone everywhere and done pretty much everything in professional wrestling. He has travelled the country and even fought in the grisly world of deathmatch wrestling at various times in his career.

REVIEW: Kansas City Xtreme Wrestling - Destiny (2024)
A live professional wrestling show in Independence, MO from KCXW Considering how many local wrestling shows I’ve been to in the past year, it’s not often that I get to experience a number of firsts, but that is exactly what Saturday, January 20th signified for me as I attended KCXW Destiny in Independence, MO.
