Back in August 2021, I started watching this series for the first time, and even started writing a review over a year later. However, due to watching other series, and other commitments, I never got to it. This year I decided to change that and watch this classic slice-of-life drama anime. Dear Brother, which is […]
Yellowjackets – Croak Review
RIP Edwin, we hardly knew you. But boy, are things about to take a turn out in the wilderness. And in the present, well, things aren’t looking so hot for Van at the moment (what are the odds that Other Tai honors that DNR Van signed back in the beginning of the season – yeah, […]
Severance – Cold Harbor Review
Well, we know what the goats are for – or, at least, were for, as it’s looking like there’s a revolution hitting Lumon and Mammalians Nurturable isn’t going to be providing anymore lambs for the slaughter. As for whether or not all of these Innies will end up slaughtered themselves, well, we’ll have to wait […]

The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Adolescence
If you’re in the mood for a devastating family drama that doesn’t offer answers but does offer some exceptional writing, performances, and directing, Adolescence, the new four-episode British miniseries on Netflix is for you. A shattering look at how a young boy, radicalized by the misogynistic dreck that exists on the internet, bullied by those […]

Memoir of a Snail Review
Memoir of a Snail is an Oscar-nominated animated film from Australia. It is Adam Elliot’s first feature film since the critically hit Mary and Max. Grace Pudel (Sarah Snook) recites her life story to her pet snail. It is a story of tragedy and despair as she tells of her experiences with loneliness, separation, and […]
Severance – The After Hours Review
I’ll be honest. I’ve watched this episode twice and I’m still not quite sure what I think about it. On one hand, there was some swift (perhaps too swift) plot movement in all sections of the narrative. On the other, there were some truly earned and gorgeous moments between characters – okay, between Burt and […]
Yellowjackets – Thanksgiving (Canada) Review
Well, I, for one, think that episode should have been titled “What the fuck?!?”, because, much like the mystery bespeckled man at the end of the episode, I screamed that at the screen upon seeing that there were real live people coming upon the camp. Who are they? Where did they come from? Why are […]
Marching Powder Review
Nick Love and Danny Dyer were a team back in the Noughties, making four films together in that decade. Marching Powder marked the first time they have worked together since 2007’s Outlaw. Jack Jones (Dyer) is a middle-aged fuck-up. He is unemployed, a cocaine addict, a football hooligan, and his marriage with Dani (Stephanie Leonidas) […]
