Planet Whiz Kid

Well, how did that happen? It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day again already, which means another year has gone by! I wrote six posts last year, the same amount as in 2021 and 2020, which – by my calculations – means that I’ve done a mere eighteen posts in the last three years! I’m back…

It’s that time of year again. The spell of the fall season has been cast upon us. For the very first leaf to fall reminds you of the terror that lies before us: a holiday, whose name is unspeakable. A holiday that unleashes evil unto the streets. A holiday that summons the most wretched and…

Hi there users of the Force, or, as Obi-Wan would say: For those of you who often read Planet Whiz Kid, you’ll know that I always post something for May the 4th, even if it isn’t very long. The last two years, I’ve debuted some “Versus” writings I typed up a few years ago. Also…

Spring is upon us, my friends! And while I’m more of a winter person, I still look forward to spring for one reason: Easter! Easter is a time when families come together to celebrate another holiday with yet another mascot (the Easter Bunny)! But Easter at its core is a religious holiday that commemorates possibly…

Is it really that time of year again? Yes, it is. As we head into spring, we begin moving past awards season. The Golden Globes, BAFTAs, SAG Awards, WGA Awards, and Critics’ Choice Awards have already flown by! But, there is yet one more filmmaking awards ceremony celebrating motion pictures of 2021 that we have…

NOTE: The majority of this post was written on February 8th, though it was published on February 9th. Read with that in mind. Today, February 8th, is a big day! Not only have the 94th Academy Award nominees been announced, but a new trailer for Pixar’s Lightyear is #2 on trending, and we’re less than…

Hello there again, everyone! Although I break this promise every time, this time I will not rant about how long it’s been since I’ve done a post. Because today, we’re focusing on one of the greatest preachers and activists of our time (or some of your times, I wasn’t even close to being born yet…

That’s right, Whiz Kid has returned for his sixth post of the year! And hopefully it won’t be the final one . . . unless I get distracted again. Although it’s been almost half a year since I’ve written a post, I’ve been planning to publish a Halloween-themed story for this All Hallow’s Eve. Although…

That’s right! It’s that time again. It’s May the 4th, 2021, which means that it’s . . . Star Wars Day! And I’m not going to quit my tradition of writing an annual Star Wars Day post. After all, it is my favorite franchise. Even more so than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe that’s controversial,…

That’s right! I’m doing two posts in the same week! How ’bout that? I may have broken a Guinness World Record! 😉 Plus, I’ll be back again soon with some rankings of WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier now that both of those shows have finished. I’ll probably rank the episodes and the…
