70 Years of Deviltry: A Look at Looney Tunes' Tasmanian Devil
As we all know, Looney Tunes has given us so many wild, wacky, and crazy characters in the last 90+ years; some have been highly acclaimed, while others weren't featured much, but were basically cult hits. A character that definitely belongs in the "cult hit" category is the Tasmanian Devil (or "Taz" for short). Taz is definitely quite a popular character in the Looney Tunes group, and this is despite the fact that he was only featured in five shorts during the classic era at Warner Bros. Cartoons.

The Fall Guy
Swimming costumes, spicy margaritas, and bad decisions. If you know me, you know I don't like romcoms. I'm not a very big fan of romance at all, really. I'm not a fan of Ryan Gosling, either. (Or at least, I wasn't... that has now changed.) No offence to the guy, I'm sure he's smashing. I just thought (probably unfairly, to be honest) "he's that guy who does romcoms". (He stole the show in Barbie, though.)
