After dipping his toes in the Rocky series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ryan Coogler makes his first original film since his debut film. In 1932, the Smokestack Twins (both played by Michael B. Jordan) return to the Mississippi Delta after working in the Chicago Underworld for seven years. They plan to open a Juke […]
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
Okay, Russell T Davies, I can appreciate that fun bit of trolling at the expense of fans and critics you slotted into “Lux.” Meta callouts don’t always work for me, but this one? Yeah, I chuckled. Especially because “Blink” really is the best episode of the modern run of Doctor Who. But you know what? […]
We knew going into this season that part of Deborah’s journey in her foray into hosting a late-night show was going to be learning a bit from Ava about how to manage a staff without flying off the handle and firing them at the drop of a hat. After all, we know Deborah has the […]

While The Amateur is technically a remake, it’s more akin to last year’s The Fall Guy. Popular culture has largely forgotten the original spy movie (and book), and the marketing for James Hawes’ version has avoided mentioning that source material. Given that neither was very well received, that’s probably for the best, as it gives Rami […]
I had my worries when it was announced that Varada Sethu would be joining the cast of Doctor Who as the newest companion for The Doctor, after her successful guest turn as Mundy Flynn in the first series of Who with the Fifteenth Doctor. She was great in the role – and I’m a huge […]
One of the very many things that I love about Hacks is how Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky (and the rest of their writers) seemingly write themselves into a corner in every season finale only to find a new way to get Ava and Deborah back on track the following season. Because, […]
I just . . . don’t understand what the writers are trying to do with these final three episodes. I really don’t. The revelation of who killed Lottie – while earned in the sense that it was hinted at in previous episodes with the evidence Walter and Misty found – makes little to no sense […]
