Your home for entertainment
When I first heard about Fantasmas, the new super queer surrealist HBO comedy series from Julio Torres, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about it. I was someone who had missed the boat on Torres’ previous HBO series, Los Espookys, so I wasn’t sure if this series would be for me. But boy, was […]
In my recent post, I examined similarities and differences between five new anime: Train to the End of the World, Whisper Me a Love Song, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night (also known as YoruKura), and Girls Band Cry. This post continues this analysis, noting how the last […]
Originally I hadn’t been planning on writing this article, but when putting together my list of the top 20 anime for 2024, I realized that many had yuri themes, either as romantic or platonic yuri, so this article made more sense. Specifically, Pon no Michi, Metallic Rouge, Madlax, Train to the End of the World, […]
Streaming was seen to be a game changer for the entertainment industry. It was meant to usher in a new era where most content would be available online and make cinemas and physical media obsolete.

I know that subtitles are divisive. Sure, a lot of people automatically subtitle everything they watch on TV now, but when it’s a foreign language series or film that requires English speakers to rely on those same subtitles to understand the dialogue, for some reason, people can get a bit put off by it.

Harry Potter/Wizarding World has been a franchise that has been around for nearly 30 years. It has spanned novels, spin-off books, films, a play, and video games. It has been one of Warner Brothers’ most popular properties and they plan to adapt the original books into a TV series for Max to be released in 2026. […]
Waterloo Road is one of the BBC’s popular shows. It currently spans 13 seasons over 18 years of airing. It’s particularly popular with teenage audiences. It has been seen as a more mature version of shows like Grange Hill. Since the show has run for so many years, it has seen a multitude of actors enter the […]
Last year I declared that The Traitors, the new reality competition series from Peacock, was one of the best shows folks weren’t watching. Well, what a difference a year makes! It seems like I can’t go a day without having an in-depth discussion about the ins and outs of the second season of the US […]
