Movie Monday: Endgame's Extra Three Minutes Topples Spidey's Top Five Run (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has sat comfortably in the box office top five for the past eight weekends since its release on July 31 (and it held the No. 1 spot for six of those weeks). It’s the highest-earning domestic film of all time, with nearly a billion dollars in takings. Worldwide, it sits in third place with $2.4 billion. Impressive stuff. So what film finally “snapped” Spidey away from the weekend top five list? Well, the No. 2 worldwide earner (and another film starring Spider-Man, ironi
The Spirituality of the MCU: Marvelous or Messy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began in 2008—and without a lot of overt spiritual content. The original Iron Man is really the story of a brilliant, but selfish, tech mogul (Tony Stark) who escapes an Afghan cave thanks to a hastily-built suit of iron. He then decides to build a much better suit and become a superhero. We don’t see churches. We don’t hear prayers. God? Not an overt player in Iron Man. But let’s take a closer look: Look at Stark’s brush with death. The metal working its way toward
Combating Our ‘iPad Kid’ Tendencies (opens the original)

If you have a child who is 8 years old or younger, you may be surprised to learn just how much screen time they’re racking up. A 2025 report from Common Sense Media says the average screentime for Gen Alpha is nearly 2.5 hours per day. Although screentime recommendations vary across different age groups, that’s still a half hour more than what experts say is “acceptable.” Now, of course, I am not trying to shame anyone here. Sometimes, we need the screens to help manage the chaos of parenting. W
Conversations With Teens: Back to School With AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artificial intelligence. By this point, most of us know what it is: really advanced computer systems with access to a wealth of human knowledge (usually via the internet) that allows it to imitate human behavior. And by this point, many of us also have strong feelings about AI—some positive and some very, very negative. Personally, I land somewhere in the middle. I see the potential for AI to revolutionize science and medicine. But I also see AI’s flaws—how it has led people to harm themselves o
Movie Monday: ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Snares Another Win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest Spider-Man movie may be titled Brand New Day, but at the box office, it comes with the same old results. Spider-Man: Brand New Day cruised to its third straight weekend win in North America. It earned an estimated $48.3 million—more than doubling the take of its closest competitor—and pushed its total domestic gross to a staggering $785.8 million. Brand New Day is already the year’s highest-grossing movie in North America, of course. It took those honors last week. Now all eyes are on
