Jon would say that as a writer, he is a self-proclaimed film snob and a pop culture junkie. Always gives his honest, critical, and maybe a little bit snarky opinion on everything. He's very detail oriented and loves anything involving creativity and innovation. You're better off asking him who his favorite director is rather than his favorite film. So beware and get ready to be entertained. You can contact him at jon@theyoungfolks.com or follow him on twitter @DystopianHero. (Also, he doesn't always refer to himself in the third person, but sometimes he just has to).

Jon’s Movie Review: ‘Million Dollar Arm’ strikes out

Since I was a child, I’ve been going to Mexico to visit extended family. I distinctly recall the culture shock I experienced and how even going grocery shopping was like a new adventure.  My little sister was with me, but…

TV Review: Orphan Black 2×04, “Governed as It Were by Chance”

This evenly paced, action-packed episode is verging on the horror. Helena has a knack for darkening every episode with her feral nature and all the awful things that happen to her. We also get our chain of command updated, introducing Rachel as just another one of the clones, with Dr. Leekie at the very top now, but that definitely won’t last for long once we find out what who Mrs. S is trying to protect Sarah from.
