Quad Culture

         About three years ago Russell Wilson was an unquestionable hall of fame player or at least just had to sustain a gradual decline into his twilight to get to the hallowed hall. Then things got sticky in Seattle and Russ once the toast of the town found himself steering his way to Denver. At first the voices were quiet, some Russ is a weird guy accusations and such but nothing extreme. Then things imploded in Denver and all the sudden it seemed to be time for everyone to get their lick in in on Russ. Prior teammates, current teammates, and the media all lined up to pour some more dirt on the career of the once MVP candidate Russell Wilson. When the team benched Russ, cut him, and payed him a ton of money to basically fuck off it was hard not to think the Russ of old was essentially dead along with his career. Russ semi-quietly found himself in Pittsburgh this last offseason. Him and youngster Justin Fields formed a qb room that could only be descri...

          A few years ago pre the virus that trapped us all in the house Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might have been the biggest and most bankable star in Hollywood movies. Fast forward however and while his career is not necessarily on life support there has been a definite staying from the limelight. How did we get here for the WWE superstar and can the man we call The Rock ever find his way back among the Hollywood royalty.  The Rock has an extremely dynamic personality. His ability as an actor may vary based on who you ask but his charisma can’t be denied. Since his days in the WWE Johnson has always effortlessly grabbed the attention of the screen and while it took a while for that spirit to find its way to the big screen once it did it was clear that Johnson had the juice. While his hits may not be critical darlings they are crowd pleasers and it's hard to not think he could be this generation's Stallone or Schwarzenegger. At his peak Johnson ...

               The NFL season has passed its midway point and you know what that means we are past the hopefully faze the real phonies are out aka the jets and the contender field has gotten smaller. While the world wonders who might be Super Bowl bound it feels like it might still be up in the air. Yet still there are a few fakes and some sneaky contenders out there. So let’s jump into 4 contenders and 4 pretenders.  Contender #1 Chiefs       As much as I want the Chiefs to lose, they just keep winning. From a young age I was taught to be the champ until proven otherwise. So I’ll follow my teachings on this one. Pretender #1 Commanders       I don’t mean to be a downer but rookie QBs, even great ones, don't typically make it all that far in the playoffs. For the first time in a longtime the future is bright in Washington I just don’t think this year screams Super Bowl for the nation’s capital...

                   Over my fall break, I spent four days watching every single X-Men movie. It took me over 50 hours and seventy bucks, but I found myself fully engrossed with the entire X-men cinematic universe and its characters, but I was especially invested in Wolverine. Look, I’ll be honest. I love Hugh Jackman and have loved him since the first time I heard him sing (I knew him as Jean Valijean before I knew him as Wolverine). However, the manner in which he plays Wolverine is one of the most needlessly captivating ways that I have ever seen a superhero portrayed and I’m not sure I was able to put my finger on it until I finished my marathon with the critically acclaimed Logan .  Taking place in the near future, Logan is centered around a weary and ill Wolverine who now drives a limousine for a living while caring for an ailing Professor X who is wreaked with deadly seizures. Upon meeting a younger mutant who is very simi...
