"Falcon" A Soaring Adventure Grounded in History
Marvel's latest superhero miniseries brings nuance and questions to its star-spangled history.
By Jason Goldman-Hall
There’s a small, vocal subset of geekdom that rails against what they perceive as politics in their entertainment, and it, oddly, tends to happen a lot with characters like Captain America, who, when he premiered in 1941, was a dutiful, white-skinned, blond-haired, blue-eyed, cisgendered, heterosexual, patriotic Hitler-puncher wearing the American flag as a costume.

"Mortal Kombat" Brings Blood And Boredom
The new video-game based movie has some good action but has no real substance to it.
By Tyler Lilly
Video game movies have a historic reputation for being horrible. From everything I saw from “Mortal Kombat” before release, I thought this film would break that trend, and though the movie has some good aspects it is overall not a good movie.

Riley Reviews
By Riley Fink
Since this will be my last piece of writing as Entertainment Editor for the Pony Express, I thought it would be fitting for it to be a final snapshot of the video game industry in the midst of COVID-19. 2020 saw relatively few game delays since games releasing that year had already been worked on for a long time, so these next few will be the years most significantly affected by the pandemic in terms of the number of releases.
