Wander & Trade Launches (and offers us an enticement!)

With the whole ‘buy local’ craze sweeping the nation we forget it doesn’t just mean buying from your home town or even home country or continent. We appreciate anything that is well crafted no matter where it is from. But it is often hard to find such treasures, especially when we are glued to our office chair most of the year. That is where Wander & Trade comes in handy.

This site launched last Tuesday and is already garnering fans around the country. What they do is simple: they aggregate inventory from small businesses across the globe, offering shoppers the ability to discover local products from any destination and in turn, offer small businesses the ability to expand their distribution and audience. There are curators in Brooklyn, Portland, San Francisco, New England and London with Africa and South Africa to follow.

Don’t think this is just another site with more of the same. Co-Founder and Creative Director Brandon Burns explains that, “Now you can discover small businesses from the streets of your favorite cities without traveling to them.”

‘The Last of Us’ Episode 5 Asks: Who’s More Dangerous, the Living or the Dead?

It doesn't always seem like zombies, undead, or post-apocalyptic monster entertainment would be the ideal avenue to create and answer philosophical questions about the world. Still, there is a surprising amount of depth to the genre. When placed in the very competent hands of "The Last of Us" creators, these queries run even more extensively through the characters' minds and the audience's. When the dead overrun the planet, you would think the reanimated corpses dominating the landscapes would be the main threat to the living's survival. Still, live humans are the most dangerous creatures in the world. People have natural predilections towards crudeness and selfishness. The harsh reality of an apocalypse expounds upon these negative qualities. This leads to a massive question in episode five of Last of Us about who is a more significant threat: the living or the dead?

Seeing familial relationships build and blossom across many hours is one of the most rewarding aspects of a television series. The length of time we get to see the chemistry of characters organically develop into something novel and emotionally wrought is a sight to behold if done right. These relationships are sometimes even more memorable if they are between found family, or people who aren’t blood-related. Think the toxic father-son pairing of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on “Breaking Bad” or the endearing and brotherly charm of Dustin Henderson and Steve Harrington on “Stranger Things.”

After last week’s perfect episode of “The Last of Us” that focused on Bill and Frank, two characters who will never be seen again, the writers chose this week to dig deep into the core of the franchise: the father-daughter dynamic of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Remember back to the premiere episode when we got to see how much of a soft spot Joel had for his actual daughter, Sarah (Nico Parker)? We know the hardened exterior of Joel hides a softer, more vulnerable girl dad that has been gruffed up even more by the horrors of the cordyceps outbreak. Ellie is the key to unlocking Joel’s past and allowing him to get in touch with some of his pre-apocalyptic personality traits.

‘The Last of Us’ episode 3 is a perfect bottle episode of television
Why 'The Last of Us' episode 3 is a front-runner for best TV episode of 2023

If you're a longtime television fanatic like I am (and who isn't?), you're probably familiar with the term "bottle episode." These self-contained hours of a series usually attempt to tell a very specific part of the show's story, usually semi-detached from the main plot of the season. Think "Fly" from "Breaking Bad" or "Pine Barrens" from "The Sopranos." Bottle episodes are sometimes limited in their setting, and they have a small cast of characters. In the past, a bottle episode's purpose would be mostly financial: showrunners would have to scale their story down a significant margin for the week so as to not run over the network's requested budget. In the streaming era, especially on a powerhouse platform like HBO Max, a bottle episode is more of a creative endeavor, an opportunity to step away and smell the flowers (or, in this case, the strawberries).
