Which 0-2 NFL Team Will Still Make the Playoffs?
It’s a long time-honored tradition for NFL fans to overreact to the first couple weeks of the season. Remember when the Patriots were done? Or how the Vikings looked like a serious contender? That was just a week ago.

Gary Sanchez and Mike Trout Are Comparably Dominant
Baseball has never been the same since 2012. That was when Angels center-fielder Mike Trout made his season debut after being recalled from AAA Salt Lake. If you like baseball, then you know what happened next. If you don’t, I’m happy to talk about it. Trout took the league by storm, finishing one of the finest seasons ever by a rookie. Since then, he’s been the best player in the game, and by margins unlike we've seen in awhile.

The Utah Jazz Are Fighting the Fringes
For many, the Utah Jazz’s offseason revolved around one man — Gordon Hayward. Hayward’s Fourth of July free agency announcement left “STAYWARD” supporters with fireworks of disappointment. George Hill, Utah’s lead playmaker also departed. Hill perhaps played his best season in his lone season with the Jazz. While Hayward went eastward and Hill headed to Sacramento, the Jazz strode forward. 2017-2018 will be a test in the team’s resilience.

‘Moonlight’ Is the Most Important Best Picture Winner Ever
After an insane Oscars snafu, ‘Moonlight’ ended up the winner of Best Picture (FOR THE CULTURE) at the show’s 89th awards ceremony. A win that will go down in history, not only because of the inane moment it created, but more importantly because of what it means for the industry as a whole. ‘Moonlight’ is the most political film to win Best Picture, simply because of what it is — an all-black film that carries an LGTBQ+ story. This year, being the most political and being the best are one and the same.

‘Logan’ Unintentionally (Intentionally?) Tells Us a Tale of Immigration
In the final act of ‘Logan’, the titular character attempts to assist a group of young mutants escape across the North Dakota border, as they flee from a militarized force who is out to eliminate them. Intentional or not, this final scene allows the film, in its entirety, to be seen as a tale about the horrors of immigration.

Marvel’s Iron Fist’s Unabashed Display of Privilege
Note: Full spoilers follow! You’ve been warned. The Marvel Netflix shows have become known as a transcendent genre of superhero television, giving us mature, nuanced, and well-layered stories. In addition to the Marvel Netflix shows, both of the Marvel shows currently on network television, ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’ and ‘Legion’, are equally as fantastic, and one could argue more fantastic than the Marvel Netflix ones. With such a celebrated precedent, ‘Iron Fist’s mediocrity feels like an iron fist to the face.

‘Justice League’ Trailer Is Peak DCU
I THOUGHT DC TRAILERS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD? Hang on. Just let me — okay. Just let me talk! DC has a weird trailer syndrome. We’ve seen it multiple times now. The ‘Man of Steel’ trailer? Incredible. The ‘Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice’ trailer? Great. The ‘Suicide Squad’ trailer? Fantastic. The ‘Wonder Woman’ trailer? Dope. The ‘Justice League’ trailer? It was alright.
