Chris Sturner A cultural review at the intersection of art, comedy, philosophy, and disaster. Self expression is at the core of art, and no matter if its paint or TV, culture is the medium that all art has to exist in. And as we all know, society isn't always bright and healthy, in fact it rarely is. To get a beat on the health of our societies today, we have to look to the best artists and authors of our time. They're usually pretty honest about things. Topics covered will range from classic manga series, to high art film, to memoirs, to pop punk albums, and everything in between. 227c886e-f5ff-49a5-bc96-92bb3833219f A cultural review at the intersection of art, comedy, philosophy, and disaster.
