After the muddled resolution to the Debra-Ava feud last week, it was a bit of shock to see the pair are suddenly thick as thieves once more, working seamlessly together to craft jokes. And not even baby AJ’s christening was enough to throw the duo of their game. In fact, I would say that the […]
You know how I said I hoped whatever boulder was about to be chasing Ava and Deborah down the hill into disaster wouldn’t be all that bad? Well, this is looking like it’s gonna be a doozy. But before I get into that, it looks like our other delightful duo – that would be Jimmy […]
I had some very high hopes for Murderbot, AppleTV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’ spectacular “The Murderbot Diaries” book series. Last summer, on the recommendation of my friend Alice, I started the first book in the series, “All Systems Red,” (which is the premise for this initial season of Murderbot). I burned through that book, and […]
I remember that, years ago now, when I watched the pilot of Andor, I had pretty low hopes for the series. After all, I hadn’t been a big fan of Rogue One. I felt there had been precious little character development in the film and I didn’t care all that much about the characters as […]
The Surfer sees Nicolas Cage go Down Under as he battles toxic masculinity and a suburban form of limbo. A Surfer (Cage) plans to buy his father’s old home in a wealthy suburb. The Surfer takes his son (Finn Little), to the beach to surf, but is confronted by aggressive locals, led by Scally (Julian […]
This week’s episode of The Last of Us had a delightful smattering of what makes the series work, as well as all the elements that drive me nuts. Which, to be honest, is a pretty impressive combination for a single hour of television. And the tease of a flashback episode next week? Yeah, that’s something […]
What a lovely exploration of African gods, the tradition of storytelling, and Nigerian culture as a whole. And the idea that our “villain” is a mortal who was used by the gods for his stories, desperate to regain control not only over the tales that he lost to them but to make a name for […]
So, the question I have after “Mrs. Table”, aka the episode where Ava and Deborah reunite once more, is did Deborah get off the hook a bit too easily? Honestly, yeah, she did. But then again, Ava was always going to forgive her at some point – she cares too much about her and desperately […]
Well, for my money, those were the finest three hours of Star Wars in the history of the series. From watching the destruction of Ghorman to the rise of Mon Mothma as the leader of the Rebellion to the collapse of two central relationships within the series, so much of what occurred in this three-episode […]
Marvel’s misfits are given a chance to shine in a post-Avengers MCU World. The director of the CIA, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), is being investigated by Congress for her black ops. She plans to get rid of the evidence, including four of her operatives, so she tricks those individuals into a hidden facility […]
