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, […]
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 […]
In December 2020, I wrote that there is “hope in the future for diverse storylines and expanded representation,” adding that there is “a lot to look forward to in 2021 in terms of animated series…[which] will undoubtedly affect the ongoing war between streaming platforms for more subscribers, profits for themselves, and film distribution itself.” That […]
Another year has flown by, and while we still remain in the clutches of a pandemic, 2021 brought with it a host of new, complex, and interesting television shows – a change from 2020, where the industry started running out of new content by year’s end. As is always the case, my list started out […]

Spoiler Alert: This article discusses the second season of Ted Lasso, including events that occurred in the season finale. If you have not watched all of season two, please do so before continuing. Well, that was quite the ride, wasn’t it? And before I dive into this post-mortem on what worked and what was decidedly […]

That’s the price of doing business on basic cable in today’s super saturated world of television. Thankfully, the show has returned for a second season – this time on the much more […]
On August 21, Vivienne Medrano happily promoted the newest episode of Helluva Boss, calling it the “most ambitious” episode they had done so far, thanking the Spindlehorse Toons team, and adding, in part, “Indie animation has POWER! Enjoy our hardwork!” Another indie animated series, EddsWorld, praised the episode, which garnered 800,000 views in a few […]
At this point, it’s a cliche to say that these are difficult times we’re living in. So much of how we interact with the world has changed out of necessity, with many things still up in the air and evolving every day. While the majority of the pop-cultural spotlight has been cast on the movie […]
