American Classic, the new small-town family comedy on MGM+, has a hell of a pedigree. For one, it stars Kevin Kline as Richard Bean, a pompous, famous thespian who suffers a massive fall from grace and returns home following the death of his mother to lick his wounds and hide from the press. Sounds like […]
When I reviewed the first season of Monarch back in November of 2023, I was pretty mixed on the series as a whole. And wouldn’t you know it, coming back for a second season, I’m just as mixed this time around as well. Because the problems that I hoped might be a bug in season […]
After the climax of the trial of the seven, this first season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (or, perhaps A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms, if we’re to go by Egg’s accounting of the official realms of Westeros – although I suspect Dorne and the Iron Islands might have a quibble with […]
When I reviewed season one of Paradise last year, I wasn’t allowed to mention that the series takes place in the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption and nuclear bombardment with our central characters living in an underground bunker that pretty perfectly mimics life back out in the real world in the before times. Not […]
There’s been an interesting trend in television over the last couple of years where the penultimate episode of a season is an extended flashback. Usually that episode also serves as a means to convey key information about the present-day story to the audience – think the penultimate episode of Paradise’s first season. And sometimes, as […]

There’s something about the Muppets that can’t be quantified. For people of a certain age, they were an essential part of their childhood. Sure, Sesame Street helped raise several generations of kids (and still does today, albeit on a different platform now that PBS’s funding has been slashed). But the Muppets are a different piece […]
Kudos to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for not holding onto Egg’s true identity for as long as humanly possible. I know that there are folks out there who managed to stay spoiler-free as to just who this tiny squire might turn out to be (even though the series was pretty heavy-handed, especially in […]
I have to say, when I was watching Iron Man 3 in the theater, I never imagined it would still be relevant within the MCU all these years later. And I imagine most Marvel fans felt the same – seeing as that film was polarizing at the time and certainly hasn’t aged much better. But […]
A gorgeous couple is on a romantic getaway in France. Often separated by work – he works with refugee resettlement and she is an archeologist – they’ve managed to meet up in Paris and are about to embark on a trip to the South of France (Arles, to be exact). Only something goes terribly wrong. […]
