Wednesday Is Quite An Unexpected TV Adaptation Wednesday is such an odd project conceptually. If you told me a few years ago that Tim Burton would direct a new show about The Addams Family that starred Wednesday in a paranormal high school and barely featured Morticia and Gomez—at least in its first three episodes—I would’ve… Read More: Wednesday: Funny, Dark, And Flawed »
Wendell & Wild Brings Back More Stop-Motion Fun Wendell & Wild, out the gate, was something I knew I would review. A Henry Selick involved, stop-motion, punk-music soundtrack-ed, children’s horror movie co-written by Jordan Peele—are you kidding me with this? It’s no secret that Coraline is one of my favorite movies, and it’s widely known… Read More: Wendell & Wild: A New Spooky Classic »
[embedded content] Tales of the Jedi Is Such A Great Star Wars Project Tales of the Jedi is the newest addition to what I’m calling “The Clone Wars Cartoons.” The subsection of Star Wars content using the same animation style, (usually) short-form pacing, and politically dense writing. My experience with it has mostly been reviewing… Read More: Tales of the Jedi: Short-Form Excellence »
[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: The Midnight Club: An Excellent Series Of Stories »
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: There’s Someone Inside Your House: A Complicated Viewing Experience »

And if you want to watch the movie, you can find it at its current home on Roku. Originally Published: November… Read More: It Came From The Archives “MOVIE REVIEW: Shadows on the… »
Pseudopod Has So Much Content Available To Enjoy The tricky thing about reviewing Pseudopod is that it has over eight hundred episodes, usually around thirty minutes. I’ve listened to somewhere between five and ten. So, I can’t tell you if you’ll like Pseudopod overall. I can’t warn you about all the potentially upsetting topics lurking… Read More: Pseudopod: Horror Is Alive And Well »
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: It Came From The Archives “Volition: Deceptively Brilliant Science Fiction” »
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: The Sandman: A Brutally Dark Fairy Tale »
Ms. Marvel is blissfully not part of the Marvel slush. It’s not rote or the same story again. Though dealing with a teenager coming of age, it’s not simply Spider-Man with a different protagonist. Instead—within the first three episodes—it becomes a family drama with the superhero aspects simply elevating the emotions. Source
