November 08, 2023 12:00 - 42 minutes - 97.9 MBReality TV believe it or not has evolved somewhat over the years. From social group experiments, to competition; reality TV eventually created the subgenre... hidden camera TV. Often it was a joke or prank being carried out on an individual who would be able to laugh at themselves upon reveal. One show however, was no laughing matter for individuals who ended up being face to face with a network television anchor.

Godzilla (1998): Movie Review
September 27, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBJapan's influence on global pop culture is staggering. In the recent decade, anime has found its way to TV's everywhere and has been embraced globally. Unfortunately in the recent past, many questionable anime dubs tried to "localize" content.

September 13, 2023 11:00 - 59 minutes - 137 MBWhile nerd culture is synonymous with pop culture these days, that certainly wasn't always the case. Some beloved series chose to show the grittier and harsher side of growing up nerdy while a vast majority of movies in the 80's depicted nerds as either lovable oddities or perverse computer junkies. Nearly a decade into the new millennium, a sitcom helped transition the perception of nerds into an area of acceptance not seen before. Welcome to Season 3, Episode 116 of Digital Dissection: P...

August 16, 2023 11:00 - 59 minutes - 137 MBFew if any TV series can boast the effect they had on pop culture like Game of Thornes.

August 02, 2023 11:00 - 54 minutes - 124 MBIn 2004 few coming of age movies dared to be different or try new things. They were often filled with stereotypes, forced emotional moments, and the "transformation" of a beautiful, misunderstood person wearing glasses into a beautiful person without glasses. There is one movie that made us look at what we should do with our lives after college, analyze racial issues, and the importance of putting yourself out there.
