Hazbin Hotel has returned for a second season, setting out to provide more adult musical entertainment as Heaven and Hell are on the brink of war. It has been a month since Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) and her friends defeated Heaven’s Exorcist army, and Niffy (Kimiko Glenn) killed Adam. The Hazbin Hotel has suddenly become […]
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants Review
SpongeBob SquarePants is Nickelodeon’s most popular original property, and he stars in his fourth feature film, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) has finally grown to be 36 calms tall, meaning he can ride the Shipwreck rollercoaster, but ends up bottling it after seeing it. After Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) tells […]
Stranger Things Season Five Part Two Thoughts
I’ve been writing about television for a long time. And during that time, I’ve come to recognize a handful of truism that tend to separate the good from the mediocre when it comes to effective dramatic storytelling. Now, for folks who have studied criticism – or literature, drama, creative writing, any of the major arts, […]
The Copenhagen Test Review
The Copenhagen Test is the type of series that frustrates me more than anything. It’s got a cast of rising stars – Simu Liu (Barbie, Shang-Chi), Melissa Barrera (Scream V and VI), and Sinclair Daniel (The Other Black Girl) – with a stellar supporting cast – Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Kathleen Chalfant (The Affair), Saul […]
Fackham Hall Review
From the people who watched the first two seasons of Downton Abbey, Fackham Hall is a spoof of British period dramas. The film features an ensemble cast as it rips into a popular genre. The Davenport family have owned Fackham Hall for generations, but the family patriarch, Humphrey (Damian Lewis), has no living heir. His […]
Pluribus – La Chica o El Mundo Review
Well, that was a hell of a mic drop last line – and something fun to tide us over until we get that second season (which has already been greenlit by Apple, so fear not, it is coming). But what a wild ride. We got to see just who Manuosus really is – and how […]

Avatar: Fire and Ash Review
The financial juggernaut that is the Avatar series film returns for a third film and continues the conflict between the Na’vi and RDA, and Jake Sully and Quaritch. The Scully family are reunited after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, but is suffering from grief after the death of their oldest son. The […]
In Defence of Avatar
Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all, with a worldwide gross of $2.9 billion. It was a cultural phenomenon back in 2009/2010. Yet it is a film that had many detractors and was dismissed as a “Dancing with Smurfs” and “Ferngully in Space.” Whilst I have been critical of Avatar: The Way of Water, the […]
Pluribus – Charm Offensive Review
Oh Carol. I don’t think that attempt at appeasement ended up the way you thought it would. Although, I’m also not completely convinced that there isn’t some aspect of the original Zosia still lingering under that hive mind, slowly seeping out through the cracks. And then there’s Manuosos, who’s inching ever closer to Albuquerque, expecting […]
