As someone who used to work in a scenic and fabrication shop, I was intrigued by a new show on Disney+ titled “Prop Culture.” The premise centers around a man who collects movie props and hunts down props that may be missing or tucked away in odd locations. When I realized that one of the […]
Read more "Prop Culture"Last week I saw “Avengers: Endgame” and the show “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns in nine days making it a wonderful time to be alive if you are a huge MCU fan like myself. One of the best characters (if not THE best character) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a crossover character that appears in […]

Read more "It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!"Today I suffer from the post-Halloween blues. We had an amazing night last night and I am so pleased with the result of our Gravity Falls theme this year.
