I love professional wrestling. As much as I primarily watch WWE, I am blind to the alternatives. The leading companies has continued to monopolize the market, leaving little space for anyone else to step up.

That said, while I liked watching TNA/Impact Wrestling and have occasionally given an eye to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ring of Honor as well as lower level promotions that have often shown promise, no one has been able to stand out on a global level like WWE.

When people talk about wrestling, they aren't talking anymore about the many companies at play. They are focused on WWE, and that is entirely by design. Beyond Japan and Mexico where WWE will always be the outsider looking in, the McMahon dynasty has taken over the conversation of wrestling.

Luckily, it finally feels like a shift is coming. While NJPW attempted the first shots, it has been the rise of All Elite Wrestling that has changed the conversation particularly in WWE's primary country of focus, the United States of America.

It's about that time of year where a million movies are released that most people never even see until a few make it out with awards recognition. While it's not quite Oscar season, the summer brings a lot more fascinating independent films to enjoy.

While Endgame will remain the king of 2019's box office, its quality will be challenged by many far lower level hits around this time in the year. I am still looking out for a film that truly blows me away, but there's plenty of time for it to come.

This article will focus on four 2019 movies now in theaters: the musical biopic Rocketman, the female-led youth rebellion film Booksmart, the dramatic look into abusive relationships Souvenir, and the historical drama All Is True. No spoilers will be discussed.

I didn't watch Super ShowDown. I have no plans to ever watch it much like Crown Jewel. It's not fair for me to grade it based on reading the results, but it isn't far to those who are marginalized and threatened by the Saudi Arabia government that WWE is running propaganda for the country.

This show was poorly built and executed even worse based on the reaction and results. Everyone could ignore this show and still watch this week's Raw or SmackDown without confusion. I did.

Until WWE can reconcile their relationship with Saudi Arabia with common morality, I'll keep skipping these shows. Luckily, WWE is making it easy with booking that looks more like a glorified house show than a "WrestleMania-equivalent" show.

Quick Take: Dark Phoenix feels eerily similar in its failures to the last iteration of the Dark Phoenix story, X-Men: The Last Stand. It disappoints with its characters, misses the point of its own story, and ultimately devolves into a mindless climax that comes off as a hasty rewrite.

Quick Take: Godzilla: King of the Monsters obscures its monster fights in shades of black and has limited character arcs, but the overall product is a satisfying ride. With a central human and monster story that pushes the action forward, it stands above many of the recent field of monster films.
