Dangers

This month marks five years of writing for the Dallas Observer. I am always happy to talk about local bands that are doing great things, and promising and established national bands that come to the area.

With their new EP, Dangers, out, I got the chance to interview all four of them. You can read the interview here.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
