The situation on C-Wing has gone from bad to worst with Screw having its best episode so far. C-Wing has been in lockdown because of the boxing fight riot.

The Promise of Rad Sechrist’s “Project City”

Writer, comedian, and musician Ethan Becker, director and storyboarder Chase Conley, and character designer, storyboarder, and illustrator Coran Kizer Stone, joined on as co-creators of this platform.

Moonfall Review
One of the more unexpected effects this pandemic has had on my movie-going life is an almost total lack of exposure to bad films. With the effort and precautions required to see a movie in theaters, I’ve found myself exclusively choosing to see things I know I’ll enjoy. Couple that with the production slowdown at […]
Screw Episode Four Review
Screw shows massive changes within C-Wing as things heat up for Leigh and Rose. Leigh has finally received her promotion, but it comes at a time of crisis. Drugs have been smuggled into the prison and violence has increased. Leigh’s solution is a radical one, a drugs amnesty, and if the prisoners behave they get to […]
The Book of Boba Fett – From the Desert Comes a Stranger
If I didn’t know going in that “From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was the series’ penultimate installment, there’s no way you could convince me of that fact simply from watching the episode.

Nightmare Alley (2021) Review
Nightmare Alley is the first film made by Guillermo del Toro since winning Academy Awards for his monster romance The Shape of Water. This time he has made a neo-noir mystery involving people faking that they have mystical powers. In 1939 Stanton “Stan” Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) leaves his home and takes a job in a travelling […]
Pam & Tommy Series Review
My main thought after finishing Pam & Tommy was “Why?” Why make a miniseries that had clear good intentions – centering the theft and release of the duo’s sex tape as an extreme violation of privacy and something that turned Pamela Anderson into a late night punchline while her husband Tommy Lee was treated as […]
The Indie Animation Boom Continues in 2022
In August of 2021, I wrote about the boom in indie animation, consisting of almost exclusively crowdfunded animations. Earlier this month, I expanded on that and wrote about various indie animations, specifically noting Hazbin Hotel and Wild Card which are in development. As storyboarder Amber Avara put it on January 7, “2022 is the year […]
