The final season of The Boys is not all that dissimilar from season four of The Boys. Or season three. At this stage of the game, I think everyone knows what they’re getting with this series – and if you’re on board, well, you’re going to have some fun with this final ride. Because, as […]

The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Last One Laughing UK
If you’re a massive fan of the British series Taskmaster (like I am) you’ve likely already discovered the absolute gem that is Last One Laughing UK. I, somehow, managed to completely miss the first series, and only discovered that the series existed at all midway through the run of its second series (which just wrapped […]
Jury Duty Presents Company Retreat
I will admit that I was wrong about Jury Duty when its screeners appeared in my inbox several years ago. I had been a big fan of the first season of The Joe Schmo Show – a 2003 series on Spike TV wherein an unsuspecting “normie” was thrust into a fake reality TV competition series, […]
Vanished Review
A gorgeous couple is on a romantic getaway in France. Often separated by work – he works with refugee resettlement and she is an archeologist – they’ve managed to meet up in Paris and are about to embark on a trip to the South of France (Arles, to be exact). Only something goes terribly wrong. […]
Gen V Season Two Review
Your enjoyment of season two of Gen V, the college-set spin-off of Prime Video’s super successful superhero drama The Boys, will be proportional to just how much you’re still invested in this world. After four seasons of The Boys, with the fifth and final season on the way, I’ve reached the supersaturation point with this […]
License to Be Killed: James Bond at Amazon
The James Bond franchise has experienced a seismic change with the announcement that Barbara Broccoli has given up creative control to Amazon. The franchise has gone from being a personal legacy for the Broccolis to being a part of a corporate entity. The news has been received badly by Bond fans, including myself. There are […]
Rings of Power – Shadow and Flame Review
So, let’s get the big reveal – the one everyone assumed was coming, and that was more or less confirmed earlier this season – out of the way up top. The Stranger is Gandalf (or a Grand Elf . . . but really Gandalf). And yes, per Tolkien, Gandalf shouldn’t be in Rhûn at all […]
Rings of Power – Doomed to Die Review
And there we have it: The Siege of Eregion, the major battle this season has been leading to from the moment Sauron first arrived there, disguised, and convinced Celebrimbor that it would be an absolutely exceptional idea to forge some rings to send out to the Dwarves and Men. Because those three Elven rings turned […]
Rings of Power – Where Is He? Review
This week’s installment of Rings of Power felt a tad overstuffed – even if it desperately needed to hit on all those plot points and locales in an attempt to draw the various storyline threads together as the series approaches the end of the season. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing from a […]
Rings of Power – Halls of Stone Review
There we go. This week’s episode of Rings of Power may have been heavy on the plot (and light on the fighting), but it centered Sauron – sorry, make that Annatar ::wink:: – which helped to make the talking and plot development go down much smoother. As I mentioned in my overall season review, the […]
