Ratford Regrets

The Racial Politics of Trolls World Tour

Food For Thought: Deceptive Appearances
No matter what anyone says, judging based on appearance is kind of human nature. From book covers to people, we will unconsciously form opinions from the first look. Restaurants aren’t immune to this sort of judgment either.

AMP Watches: The Eddie Murphy Cinematic Universe
You’ve heard of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You’ve perhaps sparingly heard of the DC Cinematic Universe, which has been/is failing miserably. You might even be familiar with the Megaverse, as advertised by Steve Carrell in unveiling the next 100 years of Despicable Me/Minions films and TV productions. However, all of these pale in contrast to the intertextual masterpiece no one asked for: the Eddie Murphy Cinematic Universe. Comets, now is the time to feast your eyes on two timeless cinematic classics that we watched so you don’t have to, featuring Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy. You’re welcome, and we’re sorry.
