Mario Kart Collectors Box

 So recently I was at Target and I decided to pick up a couple things, New Super Mario Brothers Deluxe for the Switch, a new plug in Mario themed pro controller, a journal, and a water bottle. But among all this Mario themed goodness for this fun haul. I picked up a Mario Kart themed collectors box. Was it worth the thirty dollars? Let's go through the contents and you can decide if you want one. In the box the first item I got was a hat, too small for me  but a fun Mario themed hat with a ton of items that are a staple of the Mario Kart series on it. Next was a fun light that was paired was a light up item box. Then there was a very high end, well made model of the blue shell item. Next was a set of four coasters shaped like tires, which were fun, each one had a different pattern. And then there were two key chains, one plush version of the banana peel item, and one of a medal of one of the cups.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, but if I could change one thing, I would make it themed to a tad more to some of the races, like have a mini figure of one of the racers or items or stickers themed to the drivers. This box was super fun but is definitely Mario Kart themed in the sense of being a reference to the whole series and not a specific character or game. The contents were super fun, and it was a nice surprise and if you add up the items inside I definitely feel that I got my moneys worth. But I think that the company who made this is on to something and I think they should make themed boxes based on certain characters of franchise. So to end this post I am going to give my top five, in no specific order of Nintendo Franchises that I think should be given this cool box merch treatment. 


1. Splatoon

2. Pikmin

3.Pokemon 

4.A Box of NES Or Super Nintendo Themed Merch (A Retro Box)

5. Donkey Kong

The idea of some of these franchises getting merch would be really cool. A Splatoon sticker pack with maybe a miniature of the weapons from the game. A Pokémon plush with a pokeball replica, or a cool Donkey Kong figure and his signature red tie. Just a few ideas, I think this style of Nintendo themed almost loot crates should be explored and expanded.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (Netflix)

 There are so many holiday films to watch, whether they be classics, or newer attempts to capture the joy of the season, whether in theaters, made for television, or for streaming nowadays. And with all these holiday films there are countless adaptations of the classic tale of "A Christmas Carol". Musicals, animations, live-action, and almost everything in between. Using popular characters in the roles, such as the Looney Tunes or the Muppets, from popular actors provides different take on the tale in different settings. When I first saw this version of the classic story, it was because it was all over TikTok at this time last year. For one song in particular, one very powerful song. So I decided to settle in and watch this new, animated, musical take on the classic story all the way through and see what the entire package holds for this version.  This version as mentioned is an animated musical telling of the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the tightfisted miser, spreading

The Pokemon Concierge

 When this show was first announced, I was indifferent. And then it came out and I watched the four episodes they had at the time of this post in one sitting and fell in love with it. The hype around this show is very real, I was blown away by how much I loved this show. Only four episodes and I want more, so why do I love this show so much? Well, that's what this blog post is for. The narrative of this show is fun for all ages but definitely has relatable content for adults while also having fun lessons for all ages. I am not going into detail because I think even a synopsis of this show spoils too much and it is so wonderful. The morals are real and down to earth, the characters are likable and the conflicts are relatable. The writing is fun, wholesome, and very well down, and has a good mix of humor and heartwarming with some great ideas. When I went in I thought I would have a fun time, and I did but I had way more fun than expected.  The lead of this show will be relatable for

Tell Your Own Story, Do Your Own Thing: One Thing I Learned From Across The Spiderverse

 This will probably not be the last time I talk about the impact of this film, I keep learning from this incredible film. The visuals, humor, story, characters, and messages of the film are just so close to perfect for me. Let's hang on to that last word, messages. Some may feel that an animated film could never contain deeper meanings or ideas. Still, if they looked outside their opinion, they would see animation as what it truly is, a necessary part of cinema. Animation can go places and bring ideas live action never could, and vice versa, they are both important. When this movie was first released, I saw it on opening day, and I was that excited. I love and adore the first film and the sequel just as much, it did not disappoint. I wanted to revisit the second film, since we have had more time with the first movie, and dive into some of the story beats, so spoilers are ahead just as a fair warning.  Across The Spiderverse takes our hero Miles Morales a year and some change ahead
