Recap of May After the hype of Thirteen Reason Why died down, there was a bit of a nose dive in terms of views. Not a significant one, but still noticeable. But that can be contributed to the fact I skipped covering Sense8 as well as House of Cards. Instead opting for more movies and specials. Which, while they…
Upon watching the trailer for The Drowning, I was pretty sure someone re-wrote Twisted. After watching the film, I can definitely say Twisted, at least the first half, blows this out of the water.
Alice to Zouroku finally tries to balance its pursuit of being a slice of life anime by establishing a new villain. Just not like the kind we saw earlier in the season.
In no way imaginable can you call “This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare” traditional. If only because, it takes the idea of being conversational to a new level. For nevermind how personal it is, but it is also a bunch of scattered thoughts slightly made cohesive. I explain that statement further…
One of the many preconceived notions I have about films is that non-English ones are more daring. Usually, this is in terms of violence[note]At least for films I take an interest in.[/note]. Something which can be used to up the stakes and shock you like in Elle or The World of Kanako. However, with Our…
Magane [note]I know I’m inconsistent when it comes to her name[/note] takes on Meteora’s role of being the talkative one. But, at the very least, she knows how to remain interesting as she goes on and on.
While Buffy’s storyline sticks with what we’re used to, Andi and Bex’s maintains the show’s more mature direction.
Nina’s connection with Favaro and Jeanne D’Arc, is the focus in “Same Old, Same Old.” For Favaro, it is her history with him and with Jeanne, her potential future.
Best Of Therapist never really tell you what you should do. They ask you what you think you should do. If they know the correct answer, they hold it close to their vests as if they were in a poker match in a way that lets you know, ‘I’m here to listen, but you will be…
While Marvel revels in quantity, we are reminded that DC is more than capable of eclipsing their rival. They did it once before with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight franchise and seemingly could again with Wonder Woman.
Joe’s blind patriotism, as with most of his beliefs, has exceptions. However, being that he has an eternal struggle with Jerrod, he can’t lose one single battle to his boy.
As usual with The Carmichael Show, we are given a complicated topic, in this case, rape. Something which gets dissected as if this was a chat show. One in which, like The View, The Real, or Real Time with Bill Maher [note] Odd group, I know [/note] there are multiple points of views you may…
Best Of No version of myself is permanent but, sometimes, the bad parts are trying to fool me into thinking they are permanent. — Jenny Slate [When asked if she thinks she doesn’t give people enough credit] I think when I first meet people I give them all the credit and then I slowly take…
Would it be wrong, if not odd, to say I was a bit bored by “Jezebel?” Granted, we got another character’s background story and saw someone from June’s past, but I found it difficult to be excited or engaged. To help understand why, look below.
This article was inspired by a series of tweets by actress Kiersey Clemons on April 18th. You may know Clemons for Dope, Neighbors 2, Extant season 2, and a slew of others things. To start off, her venting began due to the unequal pay between women of color and white women. For, as has been…
As usual, The Walking Dead is an emotional experience. One in which, despite only using a joystick and a handful of buttons, reminds you why video games are an art form. Something which takes you beyond passively watching like a voyeur but making you a participant. Making you wholly responsible for the life, death, happiness,…
SukaSuka (World’s End) is still trying to really convince you to invest in Willem and Chtholly’s relationship. But it remains rather unconvincing.
Sarah Silverman is the type of comedian who definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Yes, she is/was popular enough to have her own show. However, she isn’t the type of comedian who gets their own movies. Which is fine since she is at her best in supporting roles, see A Million Ways To Die In…
So, Gotham tries to do the unexpected. However, with such robotic acting from the people who should surprise us, it sort of falls flat. But, thanks to some old friends, it seems the finale at least will be interesting.
I could kick myself for putting this movie off as long as I did. For out of all the movies which were on my Netflix watch list, this is the only one, thus far, I’ve enjoyed. Though, I should note, not without some caveats. Whether or not that should be seen as a deal breaker,…
At this point, it is becoming hard to justify the inactivity of the show. For even with a new Dreams of Alice user being introduced, I find myself being pushed toward sleep.
It is hard to not be a bit of a fan of WB’s DC animation lately. Their Batman saga, outside of Killing Joke, has been quite good. So with Vixen being an unknown character to me, I wanted to check out Vixen: The Movie. Especially since it was just a little over an hour. Meaning,…
Being politically correct, or fearing backlash, has changed the output of comedy. This can especially be said for network TV for the Archie Bunker types could never get a green light nowadays. However, The Carmichael Show seems to dance on that line. The line of which what an overly sensitive culture will allow for comedy…
The majority of the episode focuses on everyone learning Altair’s name and background. However, alongside that, we have Mamika confronting Altair and Chikujoin interacting with Sota. Alone.
When many think of protest and demonstrations in the modern age, Hong Kong isn’t perhaps what first comes to mind. In America, you’d think of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In parts of the middle east, perhaps the Arab Spring. But when it comes to Asia, while they also have human rights issues, they don’t necessarily get…
For half of Being 17, it seems aimless and quite boring. Yet, in the 2nd half, just as it seems to be going somewhere, it ends before you can finally say “This is interesting.”
The aftermath of Azazel’s failed rebellion is predictable but not who we get to see after the credits roll.
War Machine brings little to no nuance to the post-9/11 war sub-genre. It is a bloated film about one general’s ego and his belief the Afghan war wasn’t won yet because he wasn’t there.
Shelter has its moments. However, it wastes all of its potential by not properly developing its storyline or characters. Trigger Warning(s): Movie contains needle use and vomiting
Rather than drag out what may have happened to Luke, as I want to believe they are doing with Moira, we get an episode dedicated to him.
SukaSuka or Worlds End continues to seem like it wants to build toward something but stumbles too much to make significant progress.
One villain’s life comes to an end and one hero’s journey gets derailed. Can you guess who is who?
November Rule follows the usual formula romantic relationships do without a single twist or notable thing to make it fresh
As Sana experiences emotions, we get some background on the twins’ past and their present conditions.
Being this was my first stand up show, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, granted, I’ve been listening to “The Read” for years and am still subscribed to Kid Fury’s Youtube channel. Even if he hasn’t added a video in a year… But there is a difference between what you know has the potential…
Outside of the battle continuing from the last episode, there isn’t much going on with Re:Creators right now. Though with a 22 episode order, that explains why we end up with more exposition. Though thankfully not from Meteora.
Being that Bowie has 16 years of spending time with Andi to catch up on, he gets a little overzealous. But he is, afterall, trying to be part of a family he didn’t know he had.
Blame! Would lead you to believe that Netflix is testing out the possibility of expanding this to a series but wants to see their subscribers’ response is first.
On the anniversary of the fall of Cocytus, the demons take one last stand against the tyranny of Charoice XVII.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
