A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the remaining seasons of the series will be based. So, these reviews will not call […]

The Last of Us – The Price Review
This might end up being an unpopular opinion, but the much anticipated return of Pedro Pascal’s Joel to The Last of Us via flashback this week left me mostly cold. Now, that’s not the fault of Pascal, who was acting his ass off throughout the episode, but more so the fault of Craig Mazin and […]
The Last of Us – Feel Her Love Review
This week’s episode of The Last of Us had a delightful smattering of what makes the series work, as well as all the elements that drive me nuts. Which, to be honest, is a pretty impressive combination for a single hour of television. And the tease of a flashback episode next week? Yeah, that’s something […]
The Last of Us – Through the Valley Review
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
The Last of Us – Future Days Review
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]

Gladiator II sees a new character forced into the Colosseum and potentially becomes a catalyst for change. Sixteen years after the events of Gladiator, the Roman Empire is ruled by the tyrannical twin emperors Geta (Joseph Quinn) and Caracalla (Fred Hechinger). The last […]
The Wild Robot Review
Chris Sanders returns to Dreamworks Animation for the first time since 2013’s The Croods. This time he adapts Peter Brown’s award-winning children’s novel The Wild Robot. A Universal Dynamics robot, ROZZUM Unit 7134, (Lupita Nyong’o), or Roz for short, washes up on a remote island with no human inhabitants. The robot sets out to find […]
Drive-Away Dolls Review
Ethan Coen makes his first solo film with the lesbian-centric crime-comedy Drive-Away Dolls. Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) are lesbian friends in Philadelphia. When Marian plans to see her aunt in Tallahassee, Jamie convinces her friend to work for a drive-away service to get them to the Floridian capital. Due to a misunderstanding, […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 23: The Spies
Well, I guess we all knew it was too good to be true. Just when it looked like the Mandalorians would be able to band together, putting aside their differences and uniting to return to Mandalore once more, Moff Gideon had to arrive and spoil the party. And with his return, a number of lingering […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 22: Guns for Hire Review
Well, that was an utterly anticlimactic episode of television. In truth, it felt much more like an episode of Law and Order than an episode of The Mandalorian (complete with the guilty party being the most famous actor who appears at a seemingly inconsequential moment in the action). Sure, we got some big named – […]
