In 1982, horror icons George A. Romero, Stephen King, and Tom Savini collaborated to create one of the greatest horror anthologies ever made. Creepshow set itself apart from other anthologies through its unique direction, creative stories, and masterful special effects. Now, almost 40 years later, the torch has been passed on to an understudy of […]
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 […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss and review the hit Disney+ show WandaVision P

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 […]

They have moved on from suburban teenagers and 1980s Essex to a struggling Premier League team. The F1rst Team focuses on three young players at the club.

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 […]
For a show that already seemed refreshingly content on making Walker’s partner Micki Ramirez into a genuine co-star, the series’ fourth episode, “Don’t Fence Me In”, truly helped Micki shine and rightfully take her place as an equal. After being called by a local sheriff to a Texas oil well, Walker and Micki chase down […]
