If you’re hoping for a film on par with Zodiac, Seven, or Gone Girl when heading out to see David Fincher’s latest The Killer, I hate to break it to you but you’re going to end up disappointed. Which, if the conversations I heard while leaving the screening of the film I attended are an […]
I came to Upload a bit slowly. I was lukewarm on its first season, enjoyed the second season, and now, with the series’ third season, I can officially call myself a fan of this quirky – and now pretty high-concept – Prime Video comedy series. When we last left our heroes, Nathan had been downloaded […]
The Mike Flanagan suite of Netflix miniseries have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House (although not as much as many did). I was a huge fan of The Haunting of Bly Manor (save for the atrocious penultimate episode). I didn’t love Midnight Mass. And I […]
Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]
For the initial six episodes of Lessons in Chemistry’s eight-episode run, I found myself disappointed by the series. The performances – namely star Brie Larson’s turn as Elizabeth Zott, the writing (the series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name), and the structure of the series as a whole all felt off.

After two years and change away, the Norse god of mischief is back for more timeline jumping and pruning with season two of Loki. And considering the state of the MCU in the time that he’s been off our screens, well, his return couldn’t have come soon enough. With the series adding Oscar winner Ke […]
Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer some kudos to Dave Filoni for that episode title. “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” absolutely made me chuckle. And, as I thought more about it, there were plenty of parallels to be found between this episode of Ahsoka and The Lion, the Witch, […]
I’ll get this out of the way upfront: If you’re a big fan of The Boys, you’re going to enjoy Gen V. The new spin-off from Prime Video’s biggest hit takes a similar approach to the world of superheroes as its mothership series – these aren’t heroes we can look to for hope and protection […]
There are two ways to structure a penultimate episode of a serialized series.* The first has the series’s climactic moment happen, allowing the characters the chance to breathe a bit and deal with the fallout in the finale. Think the final three episodes of Breaking Bad, where the climax of the series happened in the […]
After last week’s adventure into the past of Ahsoka herself, this week the series provided the character (and Rosario Dawson) a bit of a respite as the bulk of the story moved on to Peridea and the arrival of Grand Admiral Thrawn to the world of live action Star Wars (portrayed here, as in animated […]
