Growing Fangs Is Several Allegories In One Efficient Movie Growing Fangs is a cute little special I stumbled upon in my search for Halloween media. It’s the story of a person who’s part vampire, part human, and Mexican American. From quick interviews I’ve read/listened to on the short, it’s a personal story about belonging explored… Read More »
Werewolf by Night Started Off So Good and Creepy Werewolf by Night is a fun, campy Marvel show that disappointed me because of its marketing and presentation. If you wanted to see a horror movie done in the Marvel universe with a Deadpool level of R-rated gore, then you’re in for an unpleasant surprise. Mostly,… Read More »
[embedded content] The Midnight Club Is Masterful On So Many Levels The Midnight Club is a show of many layers. It’s a celebration of horror stories featuring horror stories happening within a bigger horror story. But also, it’s one of the most emotionally brutal shows I’ve seen. It’s incredibly sad. If you know the premise,… Read More »
Muppets Haunted Mansion Has A Really Solid Idea Muppets Haunted Mansion is an obvious crossover. With Disney owning the rights to the characters, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. The Muppets are also not strangers to slightly darker content and blend well with the aesthetic of spooky locations. And… Read More »
The Movie Has Lots Of Topics It Wants To Address There’s Someone Inside Your House initially got my attention because of that title. It’s almost hilariously blunt. The most standard slasher scenario reduced to a single sentence. And, true to its word, many scenes have characters in their house with a murderer. This is also… Read More »

It once again highlights how you can do stories for younger audiences that still maintain fear. However, the story does misstep a lot.… Read More »
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Has Such A Great Hook From the offset, I was onboard for She-Hulk. I’m not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to comics, but a lawyer who deals with the legal ramifications of superpowered shenanigans is a great premise. The newest Marvel wave has somewhat muted Endgame’s epic scope and… Read More »
Whatever the number, not enough people have seen this film. So, I’m bringing back an old review to remind you how cool this time-travel feature really is. Originally Published: July 22nd, 2020 Volition was the movie I didn’t know I needed. It was refreshing and enjoyable to get a film deftly and almost immaculately telling… Read More »
Groot Is An Ideal Character For An Animated Show Considering the number of cutesy series on Disney+, I’m astonished it took this long for Baby Groot to get his own. I Am Groot is a title that writes itself. They designed this character to be adorable and likable. His standard speech pattern also works well… Read More »
The Sandman Has A Lot Of Expectations To Satisfy As I’m sure is true of many of its viewers, I’ve not read The Sandman comics. The series finished before I was born, so I hope it’s at least a little forgivable. I watched the show because I love Coraline and deeply enjoyed Good Omens and… Read More »
