Upload (Spoiler-Free) Review
Watching Amazon’s newest dark comedy series Upload might give you a sense of deja-vu. A world where you can upload your consciousness upon death to a mainframe that will allow you to “live” again? Yeah, we’ve seen that done before (and, frankly, done better) on Black Mirror, namely the exquisite “San Junipero” episode. A look into […]
The Coronavirus’s Impact on the Film and TV Industries
The Coronavirus has affected all aspects of life and led to Lockdowns around the globe. The film and TV industries were no different and there will be an impact on the short and medium-term, at least. The Pandemic and Lockdown will affect both the releasing and production of film and TV. The immediate effect has […]
Killing Eve – Meetings Have Biscuits Review
The problem with all cat and mouse stories is that once the two seemingly incompatible foes have met, the story loses that key element of tension that pulled it along. Now, with Killing Eve, we’re leagues past that initial meeting, but the series is still trying to chase that same high as we, the audience, […]
Unorthodox (Spoiler-Free) Review
On its face, Unorthodox seems like a pretty typical story: A young woman realizes that the life she’s been living – the one she’s been convinced her is what she wants – isn’t the life she wants to lead, so she escapes that life and goes in search of a place where she can truly […]

The Challenge 35: Total Madness (Spoiler-Free Review)
Legendary film critic Roger Ebert once said in a film review of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial that “This film made my heart glad.” And I couldn’t help but think of that review when I watched the season premiere of this season of The Challenge. I was still thinking of that when I watched episodes two and […]
Better Call Saul Becomes the Kim Wexler Show – A Season Five Retrospective
“Am I bad for you,” Jimmy McGill asks his wife and personal moral center Kim Wexler in the fifth season finale of Better Call Saul. If he’d asked that question at any other point in the series, the answer would have been a resounding yes. After all, Kim was the one thing keeping Jimmy from […]
Killing Eve – Management Sucks Review
And just like that, they pulled her back in. We all knew Eve was going to get back in the game sooner rather than later (there’s no show if Eve isn’t working as a spy in some capacity, after all), and Kenny’s death certainly has provided the perfect path back into the life that has […]
