This week in Queen’s Landing, Rhaenyra learned an incredibly difficult but crucial lesson: It’s not easy being Queen. Because it turns out, everyone wants a piece of you – from your fellow nobles and family to the small folk who rely on the crown for aid. And, she also learned, it’s not possible to give […]

The Invite Review

Silo Season Three Review
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*, […]

The Bear Season Five Post Mortem
This review contains spoilers for the final, fifth season of Hulu’s The Bear. Over the years, The Bear has struggled with cohesion. Its highs have been truly spectacular, providing episodes of television that will hold up for decades as examples of just what you can do with a single character or a single, unbroken shot. […]
Toy Story 5 Review
The Toy Story franchise has been around for 31 years and has been a juggernaut. The fifth film in the series puts Jessie in the spotlight. Bonnie (Scarlett Spears) is now eight years old, but she struggles to make friends. In desperation, Bonnie’s parents get her a Lilypad tablet (Greta Lee) so the child can […]
