Between the signature theme song and the cool tic-tac-toe grid for the opening, there wasn’t a house in town that didn’t watch The Brady Bunch.

All you need to hear is, “my name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump,” and you slip into the voice that Michael Conner Humphreys made famous in the 1994 film that swept the 67th Academy Awards, Forrest Gump.

Look, there are some people that, if cited as a favorite character or quoted/emulated, can have red flags the size of an interstate billboard.

Being a teenager is some of the best, and most formative, years of our lives. As we transition from childhood to adulthood, the road of self-discovery is complex, fun, and usually difficult.

But it was her iconic role in Before Sunrise that made her a memorable icon. The film was released in 1995, so what has Delpy been doing in the last 27 years?
Every Sunday growing up my father would turn on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off before promptly falling asleep in his armchair, and that’s how I discovered Mia Sara. So, with everything going for her as a young spark with a quickly growing flame, why did she seemingly burn out?

So we’re all on the same page about John Travolta’s character Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction being kind of an idiot right? He’s not bright, he’s just a cocky son of a bitch with the ability to be charismatic for the right director. The problem is, that stupidity leads to a lot of the problems in Pulp Fiction.
Tobey Maguire’s legacy as Spider-man is a complicated web. His rise, fall, and resurgence have all been publicly documented and the story is marred by some ugly middle chapters before a beautiful career resurgence.
