Why You So Obsessed With Me: How Beyoncé Exposes The Insecurity of White Women
Hell hath no fury like a White woman who is insecure. This is fairly a blunt ass way to start this piece off, since I haven’t seen y’all in like two months. To be fair, The Orange™ has been fucking so much shit up that it’s been giving me whiplash and simultaneous fatigue as a … Continue reading
The Roastening: Suicide Squad
The time has come to dust off your cloak, grab your backpack, and come ready with some drinks, good wi-fi, and your roast hand. Why do I say this? Well, maybe because it’s that magical time of year when a movie that I definitely was not going to waste my time and money to see … Continue reading

Does potentially confronting the forces that contributed to the atrocity that was the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till rub you the wrong way? Good.

Ghostbusters Review: Leslie Jones, You Deserve Better
I like to keep y’all gagging for more. So every 6 months or so, I swing by the Zoo with a sarcastic review of some mediocre movie I’ve had the displeasure of watching.

I Finally Watched Batman v Superman and Now I’m Dead Inside
A couple of days ago, due to morbid curiosity after viewing author Daniel José Older (@djolder)’s tweets and AJ’s continuously hilarious jabs at the film, I finally saw Batman v Superman and…let’s just say that somehow, somewhere, Mephisto probably has my soul now.

Greetings, fairest denizens of the Zoo. While it’s been awhile since I last talked to each and every one of you, I am here to say that it has been a WILD couple of days for us over at the Zoo–and frankly for comic book fans at-large as well. On top coming off of a Captain … Continue reading
Fourth Time’s A Charm?: Why I’m Not Excited About Yet Another Fantastic Four Reboot
***Originally published on Moviepilot*** Rumor has it that Fantastic Four will be rebooted. Again. Which should come as a surprise to no one. Granted, this rumor has mostly been debunked, but I’m still interested in discussing the possibilities. You see, two months ago, I watched Fox try their hand—for a third time—at bringing Marvel’s First … Continue reading

I never in my 2+ decades of life thought I would be seriously typing out that headline, but here I am. For those of you who don’t know, “Deez Nuts” started out as a funny ass internet joke some months ago (but had been very popular, conversation-silencing phrase and tactic for years now).
