Q: Who are you guys? A: ToxicUniverse is the hipster's eclectic, literate alternative to generic mass media publications. In other words, we don't give out gardening tips.
Q: How is ToxicUniverse different from other media review sites? A: Think of us as online criticism for the think tank. Our website posts weekly book, movie and music reviews, as well as maintaining an extensive archive in those categories.

Q: How do you choose what movies, books, and music to review? A: We're brilliant. Actually, we do our best to support material that's off the beaten path. Non-mainstream books, music, and movies. But we also attempt to provide a comprehensive database of reviews for what's current.
