Night Nurse is the rare film that features exactly zero characters. Oh, there are plenty of people, to be sure. Most of them even have names! But that’s approximately where their definition stops. Each is a nurse at the same assisted living facility, the kind where the patients have complete freedom to roam and drive […]
Well, it appears that the Targaryens aren’t the only sadistic, power-hungry forces in Westeros. Ormund Hightower is pretty darn horrific in his own right. Although, anyone familiar with the goings on in Westeros likely wasn’t shocked to see that Alicent’s cousin, and guardian of her youngest son, Daeron, has his own designs on the Iron […]

I’ve been lukewarm, at best, on the past two seasons of AppleTV+’s post-apocalyptic thriller Silo. It’s a show with a lot of mythology, a lot of questions, and a shockingly high cast turnover rate. And it’s also a show that has been loathe to offer up any answers to the central questions of the series*, […]
