Moana is the latest Disney animated classic to get the live-action remake treatment. This version gets Dwayne Johnson as the egotistical demigod Maui. Long ago, the demigod Maui stole the Heart of Te Fiti, resulting in a blight that spread across the world. This blight finally reaches Motunui, leading their crops to fail and fish […]
I’ve never actually seen an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. I think I was just right at the perfect age to not care about the series when it initially premiered in 2000. And while I was aware of it – the basic premise, the fact that Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek were unhinged comedic […]
When I reviewed season one of Paradise last year, I wasn’t allowed to mention that the series takes place in the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption and nuclear bombardment with our central characters living in an underground bunker that pretty perfectly mimics life back out in the real world in the before times. Not […]
There’s something about the Muppets that can’t be quantified. For people of a certain age, they were an essential part of their childhood. Sure, Sesame Street helped raise several generations of kids (and still does today, albeit on a different platform now that PBS’s funding has been slashed). But the Muppets are a different piece […]
I have to say, when I was watching Iron Man 3 in the theater, I never imagined it would still be relevant within the MCU all these years later. And I imagine most Marvel fans felt the same – seeing as that film was polarizing at the time and certainly hasn’t aged much better. But […]
In the last part of this series, I focused on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…, and A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof, and films like Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 4. There […]
In December of 2024, I published my post examining LGBTQ+ representation in Western animation and anime, noting that twenty-six anime with direct, or indirect, yuri themes aired. This included some of my favorites, with yuri subtext, like Dungeon Meshi, Girls Band Cry, My Deer Friend Nokotan, Mayonaka Punch, Pon no Michi, Jellyfish Can’t Swim in […]
For the first time since I began creating annual top ten lists – over a decade ago, now – I actually had to struggle to find shows to select. It’s not that there wasn’t a lot of good TV this year – there was, as you’ll see from reading through my various reviews over the […]
There’s something simple and utterly delightful about Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Disney+’s adaptation of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson book series. It’s the rare show that works on two levels – it’s clearly aimed primarily at a younger audience, but it also has more than enough interesting beats and fun casting choices to keep adults […]
Disney has returned to the world of Zootopia (or Zootropolis in many parts of Europe), with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde needing to work together to uncover another conspiracy. Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick (Jason Bateman) have been police partners for a week. When they cause a colossal amount of damage, Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) […]
