There’s nothing all that original about Ride or Die, the new comedic thriller from Prime Video. When watching it, you’ll see nearly all of the twists coming. You likely won’t find it all that funny (sorry to the writers but “harried and manic” isn’t really a viable comedic styling). And the general conceit – two […]
Since its premiere 25 years ago, Legally Blonde has managed to stay in the pop culture discourse, spawning a sequel, a Broadway musical, an MTV series about casting the replacement Elle Woods for the Broadway musical, and now, a prequel TV series about just what happened to Elle when she was forced to move from […]
There’s something about Nicholas Cage that makes him the perfect lead for a noir. His hangdog face calls back to Humphrey Bogart – as does his ability to turn that frown upside down at the right moment to show us that he’s got just enough game to pull a gorgeous dame (while still mourning the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
