We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]
The Acolyte – Destiny Review
If you’ve followed any of the social media posting around The Acolyte, you’ve probably heard that this week’s episode, “Destiny,” was going to “break Star Wars.” Well, we’ve all seen it now, and I think we can agree* that while the episode injected some interesting new mythology into the world of Star Wars, it definitely […]
The Boys Season Four Review
The Boys are back in town and yes, season four of the Prime series contains everything you’ve loved about past seasons of this series – and many of the same issues that started to seep into the storytelling in season three. It’s been two years since we last saw our heroes and villains – the […]
Presumed Innocent Review
Before I embarked on my television critic career, I was a lawyer. Which means I have a heck of a hard time watching legal shows without finding myself yelling at the screen as they butcher the practice of law in order to make it seem suspenseful or at all interesting (because, in reality, being a […]

Bad Boys: Ride or Die Review
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return for a fourth entry in the Bad Boys series. This time the buddy duo are forced to go on the run and clear their names. Mike Lowrey (Smith) has done something his friends never thought he would: settle down and marry a nice woman. But Mike is haunted by the death of […]
Doctor Who – Rogue Review
After last week’s emotional gut-punch of a final note (which we didn’t get any further commentary on this week, not that it was expected but it might have been a nice touch), this episode was much more in the vein of your traditional Doctor Who adventure – except much more queer than in past seasons […]
Sting Review
Sting is an Australian horror film that shows one of that nation’s most notorious animals terrorising an apartment building in Brooklyn. During a massive blizzard an alien spider crash lands in Brooklyn. Charlotte (Alyla Browne), a young girl and aspiring comic book writer who finds the spider, names her Sting and keeps her as a pet. […]
The Acolyte – Lost/Found and Revenge/Justice Review
When I first heard that The Acolyte was coming to Disney+ as the latest Star Wars television series, I wasn’t all that excited about it. After all, the Star Wars live action television series have been quite the mixed bag, and the track record of late hasn’t been all that great (with Andor being the […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Hacks
On paper, Hacks seems like a deceptively simple comedy. Pair an older, well-known and battle-tested actor (that would be the great Jean Smart) with a young, relatively unknown actor (that would Hannah Einbinder, who, much like her character, has only grown in strength as the series has played out) and base the show’s comedy on […]
