At Batteries Fully Charged, our goal is to add a measured and thoughtful voice to the present popular culture cacophony currently capturing the masses. Through smart writing, catchy videos, and an outside-the-box podcast, we hope to give you a daily dose of critical thought about your favorite movies, TV, games and books.

We’re a pretty varied bunch with some interesting and contrasting personalities. We come from a variety of backgrounds and we each hope to share our intelligent views to any that will listen.
