Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past few weeks, you’ve likely heard of Squid Game, the Korean drama on Netflix that has taken the world by storm. You’ve also probably asked yourself if it’s worth it to dive into the series. Well, let me tell you the answer to that question is an […]
2014’s John Wick has upped the game across the action genre. Many films have tried to replicate that series’ style. Kate is the latest film trying to follow in John Wick’s footsteps. Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is an American assassin working in Japan. Killing yakuza bosses is a dangerous game and Kate gets poisoned with a radioactive substance. She […]
Midnight Mass, Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix miniseries, has a number of the quirks that were present in his previous outings (that would be The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, for those not wholly familiar with his recent oeuvre). Now, as was the case with the other series, some of them […]
You’d be hard pressed to find a show more open and frank about sexuality than Netflix’s excellent high school drama Sex Education. And its third season offered up more of the same: serious conversations about teenage sexuality (where the teenagers are all portrayed by twentysomethings, but the intent stands), family, friendship, love, and whether or […]
Gunpowder Milkshake is a part of the tread of mid-budget action movies. It was a film that has been released by Netflix in the US and Sky Cinema in the UK. Sam (Karen Gillan) is an assassin for The Firm. She’s given a job to get back some money stolen from The Firm. She ends up […]
Netflix’s new miniseries The Chair is the perfect bite-sized binge. Six episodes, each clocking in at around 30 minutes, packed with plot and laced with humor, the show is fun, engaging, and a great watch. It’s a series that knows what it is – and understands the insane level of talent it possesses in front […]
Kieran and Jean talk about the potential impact of simultaneous releasing on the film industry
Netflix has been dominating the horror movie scene throughout the month of July with the release of its Fear Street trilogy event. Dropping a sequel the week after the premiere of its predecessor is a gutsy move. Doing it twice in a row is particularly unheard of. And yet, probably the craziest thing they’ve done […]
Although this weekend may be dominated by Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow, Netflix has offered up the latest installment of their Fear Street trilogy for those who prefer frights over tights. This spooky sequel, as the followup to last week’s Part One: 1994, sheds more light on the monsters and lore that haunt the unlucky town […]
Here’s a weirdly specific film-nerd opinion: a narrative arc spread over the course of three movies is the perfect stopping point for a series. I absolutely love a satisfying trilogy. This is why I get frustrated by the Amazing Spider-Man 2’s of the world – franchises that attempt the full trilogy journey, but collapse along […]
