It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air. What better way to celebrate than taking a look at the best adaptation of one of the most tragic love stories ever written: William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet. Being a teenager in the late 90s, there is no way you’ll ever convince me (or other teen…

Super Bowl weekend is upon us and it sure seems like no one outside of Kansas City or Philadelphia fandom is excited for the big game. Unless maybe there’s money on the line.
