This scene in pulp fiction is one of my favorites and as soon as I learned about this assignment I knew this was the scene I wanted to recreate. In this scene Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, both gangsters, show up to the house of a bunch of people who owed money to their …
For my movie montage sketch I decided to use the film, the Fast and Furious. I found this sketch more difficult than the others.

Screenshot of Sherlock Holmes on bilibili Cindy, the producer of this episode, brought to me her idea of talking about bilibili, a Chinese video-sharing website that acquires the hearts of millions of users, especially teenagers and the young in the 20s.

I chose this topic because I felt like I knew the […]
As the producer, I wanted to do a podcast over TV entertainment because when we did an overview of the current podcasts during class, it was noted that none of the episodes really talked about media entertainment. So, while browsing the web for something “new media”, I stumbled upon an interactive children’s TV show called Puss In Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale on Netflix. Intrigued by the “interactive” label, I sat down and went through this particular episode on my…
