Best TV of 2022

     Television has evolved rapidly within the past few years. As recently as ten years ago, there was a clear distinction between what you saw on the small and silver screens. Budgets were smaller, everything revolved around commercial breaks and tuning in weekly, and even performances were different. Now, no doubt with the help of streaming, television is more cinematic than ever. This has helped television stretch beyond its preset boundaries and take chances, with great (and not so great) outcomes. Below I'll list the greatest, in my opinion, of the year. Since some shows have seasons that last over multiple years, I will not be rating my favorite shows, but rather my 15 favorite episodes. As usual, please note this is my opinion. I also have not seen every show, so your favorite might not be on here. I also have decided to include TV Movies (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers) on my Best Movies of 2022 list. After my favorite episodes, I'll list The Trevie Awards, awarding the best people and moments of the year, and my favorite Winter Olympics moments (yeah, I watched the Winter Olympics). I'll include the rest of the episode list at the end of the page. So without further ado:

Best Music of 2023

Best Music of 2023     The year of 2023 will be remembered as a year pop experimented in new styles.

What will be the new pop sound as we head into the mid 2020's? Below I will list my favorite albums, songs, and music videos I listened to in 2023, as well as some classic albums I listened to for the first time. So without further ado: Best Albums of 2023: 10.

Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films

  Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films      Animation is my favorite film technique. I have always been drawn (hehe) to the medium. Perhaps it’s because it is the most impressive form of filmmaking since practically everything has to be made from scratch. Or perhaps it is because animation is the ultimate escapism: A temporary entrance into a world entirely different from our own. All of these films resonate with me for many reasons: Their animation style, story, enjoyment, and sometimes even a big dash of nostalgia. It is not based on what the general consensus is on quality and influence. In the comments, I will post a link to the rest of the list of 4 stars+ animated films. From feature length computer animated epics to short stop motion flicks, here are my top 100: 100. Fantastic Mr. Fox  (2009) (Director: Wes Anderson) 99. Presto  (2008) (Director: Doug Sweetland) 98. Duck Amuck (1953) (Director: Chuck Jones) 97 . The Cat Concerto (1947) (Director...
