Trese The Show Is A Complete Disappointment Trese has an awful first episode. It’s such an underwhelming piece of animated storytelling in almost every regard. I’m probably not even going to watch three episodes for a full review. A half-hour episode felt too long and arduous, and I wanted to stop by about the twenty-minute… Read More »
[embedded content] Just Beyond Seemed Like Such A Cool Show Idea Just Beyond seemed like a delightful prospect. More Goosebumps-style anthology stuff, and similarly focusing on being scary for kids? Yes, please. Sadly, Just Beyond proved to be a little different from what I expected. The fact it was on Disney+ should’ve been the tip-off… Read More »
Squid Game Heralds A Growing Change To Media Squid Game would’ve never gotten this popular in the States in any other recent decades. Its combination of a once-strange premise, odd name, and being only available either subtitled or live-action dubbed, wouldn’t have given it much of a chance for non-Korean speaking audiences. But, in a… Read More »
The Show Is Very Predictable And Fantastic For It For better and not for the worst, The Ghost and Molly McGee is basically what you’d expect it to be. The first episode—which is all I’ve seen of it—is in the standard style of episodic comedy. But that’s not a complaint. There’s something appealing about this sort of show being… Read More »
Fear Street Is A Spectacular Trilogy Worth Seeing If you’re reading this review of Fear Street: Part 3 – 1666 because you wanted to know if you should watch the whole trilogy, I’ll give you your answer: Yes. You absolutely should watch them; see them in order. My previous positive statements didn’t give the movies… Read More »
Fear Street 1978 Doesn’t Have The Same Charm Well, I was right about Fear Street: Part Two – 1978 on all points. It’s the blood-soaked, overly sexual pastiche that does a lot of strong character work propelled by excellent actors that I expected. There are notable differences, though. And they’re mostly bad. The good is… Read More »
Fear Street Is The Slasher For Fans New and Old Well, since Fear Street put their movies into three parts, we’ll be doing a series of reviews to cover this nostalgic property. I’ve yet to see anything beyond the first movie and will be reviewing them as I watch them—and then perhaps a fourth overview… Read More »
(I’m still not seeing enough of these subgenres coming out, so, to somehow influence things, I’m bringing back this article from earlier this year. – Brandon Scott) Originally Published: Feburary 26th, 2021 As more media comes out, and people consume more of it, niche subgenres form. One person comes up with some twist on a… Read More »
The Magnus Archives Gets Somehow Even Better Four months ago, I reviewed The Magnus Archives. I’d only listened to ten or so episodes and thought I understood how the series would go. Now, approaching the 100th episode, I’ve gone deep into the series, its lore, and eagerly await what’s coming next—both what I’ve spoiled for… Read More »
Rules for Vanishing Is Not What You Think It Is Rules for Vanishing is such a different book from anything we’ve reviewed on the site in a long time. It’s a dark medley of The Wizard of Oz, Lovecraftian Horror, and The Blair Witch Project. And, though I ultimately enjoyed reading this book—if for that… Read More »
