Stranger Things: 5 Most Important Characters Heading Into The Final Season
Stranger Things has dropped the second volume of season four on Netflix, and boy, the two movie-length episodes are quite the rollercoaster. While there were plenty of cheerworthy moments, such as Steve, Robin, and Nancy's weakening of Vecna, Hopper defeating a Demogorgon with a sword, and Hopper's sweet reunion with Eleven, there were also some tragedies, such as the death of Eddie Munson, and Max being left comatose after a near miss with Vecna.

And while Nancy, Robin, and Steve weakened Vecna, the villain still escaped to fight another day.

On June 29th, Disney is bringing back Baymax! The hero of the 2014 animated movie, Big Hero 6, is getting his own 6 episode series and fans are excited to have Baymax back.

The film is about the fictional life we create for ourselves as a protective case against harsh reality. It’s not just Alice who does this, we all do it to some extent. Life can be hard and re-framing negatives to positives can be helpful even as a self-deception. For Alice, the self-deceptions multiply in order to justify the choices she made in her life.

Why 'Netflix for Books' Will Never Work
Publishing is filled with pretty smart people. Admittedly, I'm biased about this, because some of them publish my books. But I'd say that even if they didn't. When it comes to producing books in a fickle, strange industry, the business is filled with people who know how to get it done.
