Amazing how much better a show like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier becomes when you allow the titular characters (who have a proven track record of solid chemistry together) to actually work with one another! And, with a lot of the table-setting and expositional work handled in the series premiere (noting how messed up […]
On Thursday, March 18, HBOMax (and by extension, Warner Brothers) released the “Snyder Cut” – writer-director Zack Snyder’s recut version of Warner Brother’s 2017 disappointment Justice League, the culmination of a years-long campaign by a very vocal segment of the internet who hated the original version of the film and demanded that the studio allow […]
There’s a history in television of outgoing showrunners – the person or people who are the last word in the narrative flow and character development within a TV show – ending their run on the series with a major revelation or cliffhanger, thus forcing the new showrunner to figure a way out of a seemingly […]
Last year, I wrote about how Netflix has found a niche in the college sports documentary corner of the documentary game, churning out the excellent Cheer and the Last Chance U series (along with the less popular, but still compelling, QB1). Which, for someone like me who adores a good college sports documentary, has been […]
Finales are notoriously difficult to execute successfully when a show is just a simple procedural drama or episodic sitcom. That degree of difficulty grows exponentially when the series has a rabid fan base and has presented a quasi-puzzle box tale throughout its run (and if the show is all of that, plus years of waiting […]
What a tour de force performance from Elizabeth Olsen in “Previously On,” the WandaVision that attempts to fill in all the gaps (and boy, were there a ton of gaps) in Wanda’s MCU history. But Wanda wasn’t the only character getting some backstory in the penultimate episode of the series. We also learned a bit […]
It’s a Sin, the sensational limited series from Russell T. Davies (the acclaimed showrunner behind the original Queer as Folk and the first four seasons of the modern Doctor Who, among others), chronicles a decade in the lives of several friends (most of whom are gay men – although there is one straight woman in […]
“Breaking the Fourth Wall” was a game-changer episode of WandaVision across a number of fronts. On the story side of the equation, we received confirmation as to just who nosy neighbor Agnes really is (confirming the suspicions of just about everyone – including me). On the theme-side of things, well, after spending 6.5 episodes in […]
Well, it certainly appears that things are quickly spiraling out of control – both for our titular couple and for the SWORD team led by the morally ambiguous Tyler Hayward, which means we’re heading into the final stretch of WandaVision. With Vision unable to truly break free of the hold Wanda has on Westview and […]
The late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was beloved for many reasons – her stellar legal acumen that helped bring about greater constitutional protections for gender equality (as immortalized in the film On the Basis of Sex), her often scathing (yet exquisitely worded) dissents that laid the groundwork for future courts should they […]
