  • This 1989 Musical Is Criminally Underrated
    Oct 26 2026

    Polly (1989) is one of the most underrated musicals ever madeand somehow a lot of people don’t even know it exists. Starring Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad during the height of The Cosby Show era, Polly had great music, heart, and an incredible cast. In this video I break down why it’s so hard to find, why it became overlooked, and why this movie deserves way more recognition.

  • How Batman The Animated Series Created Harley Quinn in One Night
    Oct 19 2026

    Harley Quinn wasn't from the comics Batman The Animated Series created her in one night in 1992. In this video I break down how Paul Dini invented Harley Quinn for a single throwaway scene in "Joker's Favor," why Arleen Sorkin's voice made her instantly iconic, and how DC Comics had to scramble for a year to catch up to its own cartoon with Mad Love. Most fans get her origin completely backwards this is the real story, from a 60-second cake jump to taking over all of DC.

  • Motivation: Where Does It Really Come From? Episode 18
    Oct 8 2026

    What actually keeps people going?

    In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything, I’m talking about the different things that motivate people. For some, it’s money. For others, it’s family, success, passion, competition, fear of failure, or simply wanting to prove somebody wrong.

    But motivation isn’t always positive, and it doesn’t always stay the same. The thing that pushes you today might be completely different five years from now.

    I also get into what happens when motivation disappears, whether discipline can take its place, and why understanding WHY you’re chasing something might be just as important as the goal itself.

    So I want to know: What really motivates you?

  • The Cartoon That Became Gaming's Biggest Gamble
    Oct 6 2026

    Before Twitch, before esports, before YouTube gaming… there was Video Power. In this video, I break down the full story of Video Power one of the most unique and forgotten gaming shows from the early 90s. A lot of people remember it as a game show where kids competed playing video games… but that’s not how it started. The show originally began as a cartoon-based format featuring Johnny Arcade and the Power Team, mixing animation with game tips and early gaming culture. But when that version didn’t hit the way producers expected, everything changed. Video Power was completely reworked into a full-on game show where kids competed in challenges, played NES games on stage, and had the chance to win prizes in one of the most memorable final rounds in TV history.In this video, I go over:• How Video Power originally started• Why the show completely changed formats• The transition into a competitive game show• The iconic final challenge• And why the show disappeared after only a few yearsThis show was ahead of its time and feels like an early version of what gaming content has become today. If you grew up in the 90s, this was every kid’s dream.

  • I've Watched South Park Since I Was a Teenager And It's Still One Of The Best Animated Shows Ever Episode 19
    Oct 1 2026

    I started watching South Park as a teenager in high school, and all these years later, I’m STILL watching. But the crazy part is that while Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny barely aged, South Park itself completely evolved.

    In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything, I look back at my history with the show—from the early days of Kenny dying every episode and Cartman causing chaos to the rise of Butters, Randy Marsh, Tegridy Farms, serialized storytelling and South Park becoming one of television’s fastest forms of pop-culture satire.

    I also get into the legendary South Park vs. Family Guy beef, why The Simpsons relationship was completely different, the evolution of Mr. Garrison, and how Trey Parker and Matt Stone have managed to keep reinventing the series.

    And, of course, I break down my three favorite characters:

    Butters Stotch. Eric Cartman. Randy Marsh.

    After watching this show since my teens, what keeps bringing me back?

    Maybe South Park grew up with me even though the kids never did.

    Who are your top 3 South Park characters, and what era of the show is your favorite?
