If there’s one thing that Jon Hamm is great at, it’s playing a morally conflicted man in a bygone era. And in American Hostage, a new MGM+ series based on a true story (and a narrative podcast of that story which also starred Hamm), he’s asked to do just that as he plays Indianapolis radio […]
The Untold Story of Star-Lord: From Peter Quill to Guardian of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) has a fun sequence that tells you everything you need to know about Peter Quill, and it’s all before he actually speaks. We see a guy in a red leather jacket, brows grooving in concentration, dancing to music as he ignores the weapons pointed at him. He is part funny, […]
Runner Review
Runner is a buddy-comedy throwback that sees two Americans having to complete the organ transfer from hell on Queensland’s east coast. Hank Malone (Alan Ritchson) is a former Navy SEAL who works as a “runner” in Brisbane. He transports valuable goods, which include a government minister who partied too hard and a rare golden parrot. Hank […]
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Once La’an a Time Review
Sigh. Every time I start to get my hopes up that Strange New Worlds is going to seriously approach a character’s deep internal trauma this season, I end up disappointed. And this exploration of the light and dark sides of La’an was easily the most disappointed I’ve been with the series in a good while […]
Ted Lasso – Yes & Baby Review
Well, that was easily the best episode in weeks as the story started to focus a bit more on the team and less on the extracurricular actions of the legacy characters. We more or less solved the Keeley-Roy relationship drama without allowing the good doctor to be played for a fool*, Ted started to take […]
Slow Horses Season Six Review
You may recall that I declared the fifth season of Slow Horses the best of the series’ run last year in my review. Well, I’m here to tell you that the sixth season was even more enjoyable for me – and I suspect, it will be for you as well. Incredibly, this season takes the […]

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger Review
Oasis is one of the most popular British bands of the 1990s, but also one of the most tumultuous because of the fractious relationship between its frontmen. Their reformation and 2025 tour are the subjects of the documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger. Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger was made for the fans. That’s hardly […]
Miss You, Love You Review
Faced with planning her late husband’s funeral alone, a widow is forced to accept help from her estranged son’s assistant. Who he sends in his stead. Jim Rash’s exploration of grief and loss may seem a little out there or extreme, but it is surprisingly true to life. Based on the writer/director’s own experiences. Including […]
Fall 2: Deadpoint Review
The survival-thriller Fall has earned the sequel treatment. The follow-up focuses on the sister of a character from the first film. Jax Hunter (Harriet Slater) is grieving after her sister’s (Virginia Gardner) death at the B-67 TV Tower. One of Shiloh’s old friends, Luce (Arsema Thomas), encourages Jax to complete Shiloh’s “Fuck It List” and face her […]
