History of the World, Part II Review
Roughly 40 years ago when Mel Brooks’ comedy History of the World, Part I came out, the film ended with a teaser as to just what one might expect for a History of the World, Part II. Starting this Monday on Hulu, fans will finally get a chance to see just what other historical events […]
Extraordinary Season One Review
Extraordinary, the new British superhero comedy series coming to Hulu this week, has an apt title. After watching the entire first series, I found myself – on more than one occasion – calling the series extraordinary when mentioning it to friends and family. It’s absolutely better than anyone would think it would be. After all, […]
Things Get Better?: LGBTQ Representation in Animation in 2022
In January 2022, I wrote that there was a possibility that in 2022 things would “get better” in terms of LGBTQ representation, with new fandoms developing from shows which take risks by telling diverse stories. Although 2022, in some regards, more than lived up to this possibility and went beyond, there were challenges. In the […]
The Best Show You Aren’t Watching: Fleishman Is In Trouble
Claire Danes is very, very, very good at acting. If you’ve been on social media in the past week, you’ve likely seen some form of that sentence from someone, and that’s likely made you wonder just why people are declaring such a thing at this time – after all, Danes has had a prolific career […]

In the era of too much TV, I suspect this gem of a psychological thriller – well, psychological drama – likely slipped past you (also, because FX opted not to air it on their broadcast wing […]
Reboot – Season One Review
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a classic 80s/early 90s sitcom has struck a chord with the ascending adults of a young generation (maybe they recall it fondly from their childhood, maybe they found it again on streaming, maybe they are just wondering what ever happened that that actor . . .) […]
Prey Review
Predator has been an enduring franchise from the 1980s, standing with the likes of Terminator and Robocop. It has spanned films, novels, comics, and video games and crossed over with the Alien franchise. The fifth standalone film in the franchise has been released as an exclusive on Hulu and Disney+, depending on the territory Naru (Amber Midthunder) is a young […]

The Princess is a Hulu/Disney+ original, depending on the territory you live in. This action film gives a fairy tale story a violent, action twist. Joey King is the titular princess. She wakes up in her bedchamber in a wedding dress and shackles. Fortunately for The Princess she had been training as a warrior since she […]
