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 […]
If anyone was harboring any illusions about just how utterly fucked up Lumon is, I’m hoping this episode was enough to disavow you of them. Because Jesus Christ, that was horrific to watch. Seeing Lumon torturing Gemma – and that’s what it is, torture – over the course of years? That’s horrific. It’s fun to […]
The Monkey is a darkly comic offering from the pantheon of Stephen King adaptations. This film is the follow-up of Osgood Perkins’ sleeper hit, Longlegs. In 1999 twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn (Christian Convery/Theo James) find a toy monkey amongst their father’s possessions. When the boys use The Monkey people they know die and […]
Well, that was a heck of a lot to pack into a single episode. From the much-anticipated meeting between Burt, Irving, and Fields to the continued reintegration of Mark’s Innie and Outie lives, this, for my money, is the episode in season two where things really start kicking into high gear from a story perspective. […]
I’ll admit that this episode of Severance threw me for a loop in a number of ways and left me with more questions than answers – particularly when it comes to the Cobel arc for this season. In fact, I’ve watched it four times thus far, trying to understand just what is going on with […]
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
And just like that – okay, after a three year wait – Severance is back! Thank Kier. And what a delightful way to throw us back into the world of Lumon, Innies, Outies (of whom we saw next to nothing this week), and Macrodata Refinement. And, I would be remiss not to mention, some absolutely […]
I won’t bury the lede for you: the long-awaited second season of Severance is great. I easily found myself swept back up into the world of Lumon, rewatching several of my screeners just to be sure that I caught everything I needed to catch to piece together the various arcs unspooling this time around (a […]
Madame Web is the fourth film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. This film acts as an origins story for the psychic character. Cassandra “Cassie” Webb (Dakota Johnson) is an orphan and paramedic in New York. She develops clairvoyant powers after a near-death experience. Her destiny gets tied with three teenagers, Mattie Franklin (Celeste O’Connor), Julia Cornwall (Sydney […]
Do you ever feel like there are two of you – the professional you at work and the more “real” you in your home life? That’s the central crux of Severance, the smart new thriller from AppleTV+ – only in this case, there really are two versions of several main characters. You see, Lumon Industries […]
