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, […]
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 […]
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 – […]
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to season three (with some pretty great highs, but a lot of running in place in terms of a central season arc), The Mandalorian has placed its chips on the table to let us know just what we’re looking at for the remainder of the season arc. […]
After last week’s detour to see how Doctor Pershing was acclimating himself to his new life in the New Republic (not great, Bob!), this week returns us fully to the action of the Mandalorian cult as Grogu begins his Mandalorian training and Bo-Katan further enmeshes herself with her new family through orchestrating a successful rescue […]
Well, that was far and away the best episode of this season of The Mandalorian, and it is a tad worrisome that such a strong episode relied very little on any of the Mandalorians (although, there was a nice bookend of scenes that were the strongest outing we’ve had from Mando in a story and […]
The first season finale of The Last of Us was excellent for a number of reasons. Strong performances, once again, from our two leads – along with some great work from Merle Dandridge in her return as Marlene and Ashley Johnson (the video game’s Ellie) as Ellie’s mother, Anna.* A story that was unafraid to […]
Well, it looks like we found the one person who can break through Bo-Katan’s tough, too-cool-for-school exterior: Grogu. Because when that little guy came rushing back to her throne room, all worried for his dad, she was pretty quick to jump into action. She was also pretty quick to pick up that dark saber and […]
Unresolved trauma has a way of sneaking up on people when they least expect it – sometimes decades after that first blush of pain was inflicted upon a person. When it comes to Joel, hit after hit have built up a massive wall around the man – no surprise there for anyone who has been […]
After last week’s emotional tour de force, The Last of Us made the right move in taking a beat before fully diving into the next confrontation for Joel and Ellie. Now, I’m sure there will be some people who want the series to be more of a go, go, go narrative arc, but this is […]
