As eagle-eared viewers likely deduced last week, part of Fennec Shand’s plan to fight off the Pyke Syndicate involves getting our friend and their’s Din Djarin (aka Mando) to join team Boba Fett. I mean, when The Mandalorian theme music plays immediately following Fennec mentioning buying muscle, it’s kind of a foregone conclusion. The return […]

The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Abbott Elementary
If there’s one question every TV critic hears time and again it’s: “I’ve finished Parks and Rec/The Good Place/The Office/Brooklyn 99/Schitt’s Creek and I need a new comedy. What should I watch?” If someone is looking for a show with a bit of an edge, I tend to recommend The Other Two or Mythic Quest, […]
The Book of Boba Fett – The Gathering Storm Review
We’re now halfway through The Book of Boba Fett and I’m still not 100% sure just what the series is trying to do. So far, we’ve seen a complex and interesting story of Fett’s past – escape from the Sarlacc Pit, learning at the side of the Tuskens, deciding he wanted to be a part […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Yellowjackets
Several years ago, it was announced that an adaptation of the classic novel Lord of the Flies was set to be made into a new film – only this time, instead of a cadre of boys on the island, it would be a group of girls marooned and left to their own devices. Naturally, the […]
How I Met Your Father Review
It is intriguing that, following the massive backlash the series finale of CBS’s juggernaut How I Met Your Mother endured, anyone thought it might be a good idea to try again – this time with a mother telling her child how she met their father. But, after several fits and starts*, How I Met Your […]
The Book of Boba Fett – The Streets of Mos Espa
The more I watch The Book of Boba Fett, the more it reminds me of the first season of The Mandalorian: the slow, methodical pacing and the solo gunslinger fighting against darker forces trying to right a wrong – all while building up a team of allies he can use to succeed in his mission. […]
The Book of Boba Fett – The Tribes of Tatooine
As interesting as it may be that there are new Hutts on the scene in Tatooine – and it is certainly interesting to see just how these cousins of Jabba are going to throw their considerable weight around in the coming episodes – the highlight of the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett […]
The Witcher Season Two Review
It’s amazing how much a show improves when it isn’t jumping around backward and forward through time and just telling one, relatively coherent, arc. And that’s what we get with season two of The Witcher, the smash hit fantasy epic from Netflix that returned from a long, Covid-induced hiatus at the end of December. I […]
The Book of Boba Fett – Stranger in a Strange Land Review
If you’ve spent the last 35 or so years wondering how Boba Fett could escape from the Sarlacc pit, today was your lucky day as the first episode of Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett offered up the answer right out of the gate. Since his first appearance in Star Wars Holiday Special, Fett has […]
Hawkeye – So This is Christmas? Review
If there’s one criticism that can be levied against the slate of Disney+ MCU television shows it’s that they have trouble with endings. WandaVision, which was one of the best MCU offerings to date, stumbled at the close. Loki packed a punch, but also needed to introduce a villain for a future MCU project, so […]
