[The Weekly Swarm] 4/13 - 4/19
We're officially in the middle of April, meaning we're in the long stretch towards summer. Are you prepared for the onslaught of music festivals and weekly block parties? I know I'm not. What I am ready for, however, is recapping last week's great content on Ruby Hornet. While it was a bit of a short week for us, we had some gems, including the first official trailer for Ant-Man, word that Spike Lee is requesting a $3 million tax break for Chiraq, reviews of Unfriended and The Dead Lands, our SXSW interview with Raekwon, why Marvel's Daredevil is their best piece of work yet, and much more! Check everything out below.

Last week was definitely a great week for us. We visited a Scientology church and lived to tell the tale, Nick analyzed not only the treatment of Latino characters in TV, but also the positive effects YouTube has had for musicians, Xander reviewed and recapped new episodes of Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Better Call Saul, and Marvel's Daredevil, and I wrote a thing or two about Spike Lee's Chiraq. Find all of this and more in this week's installment of The Weekly Swarm below!

We had a short week last week, but not one without some strong editorials from our team. Angela shared her photos from SXSW 2015, illustrating just how lovely and diverse Austin becomes during the annual festival.

Xander reviewed the latest installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, Furious 7. Hubert wrote about Wrestlemania 31 and its ability to entice former wrestling fans.
