Amy Schumer (The Leather Special) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

I’d like to think I enjoy vulgar comedy. After all, the majority of comedians I like can’t do a complete stand-up performance without some mention of bodily fluids, sex, or cursing. Much less, I’m a fan of the people Judd Apatow made famous. Yet, while I loved Trainwreck, I felt reminded why I have never…

Feud (Bette and Joan): Season 1/ Episode 1 “Pilot” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

If you are familiar with the Ryan Murphy brand, there is nothing new here. On top of that, there isn’t that usual excitement which comes from his new projects. It’s simply just another anthology series cashing in on someone else’s story. Like a Lifetime production with better writing and notable actors.

Being a fan of the original Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate series, I was waiting a long time for this OVA to be released. The original, though originally just a silly anime, got serious and made me cry tears. And, the OVA did as well, for while there were stronger episodes in the series than the OVA is…

Emerald City: Season 1/ Episode 9 “The Villain That’s Become” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I have often noted that I’ve stuck with Emerald City more so because it isn’t destined for 24 drawn out episodes. However, as of this episode, I think things might get exciting. For there are a lot of pieces on the chess board moved around, and a few very important pieces…

Legion: Season 1/ Episode 3 “Chapter 3” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I had serious intentions of dropping this show. Between my usual Thursday movies, The Quad, anime, and soon to be Greenleaf, Thursday was packed and spilling over into Friday, sometimes Saturday. Yet, while The Quad I’m still uneasy about, this show keeps getting better and better. So it may be time…

Kuzu no Honkai (Scum’s Wish): Season 1/ Episode 7 “Lots of Love” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Bates Motel: Season 2/ Episode 9 “The Box” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview With one episode left, honestly “The Box” doesn’t make for an exciting episode to hype us for the finale.
