Jordan Peele’s third feature film Nope is just on the horizon and I thought, what better time than now to revisit the previous two films in his already impressive filmography? So, without further ado, here we go. My reviews for the previous hit (and kind of miss) Jordan Peele movies – Get Out and Us. [Potential spoilers below for both Get
Read MoreWhat We Do In The Shadows is back from a wonderfully short hiatus, less than a year after the finale of season 3 (season 3 premiere review here). With Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Matt Berry, Harvey Guillen, and Mark Proksch all back, I couldn’t be more excited to continue what has as of yet, been a fantastic year for television. Though,
Read MoreThe Boys season 3 has wrapped up with a simultaneously meditative and explosive finale. Time and again they have effortlessly delivered some of the most fantastic TV in recent memory, and I just want to wallow in it for a little bit. While I certainly don’t think my writing abilities are on par with that of the writers for The Boys,
Read MoreJames Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy films and characters have time and again been a stand-out in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even when they are relegated to smaller roles such as in Infinity War and Endgame, they were still the best part of that near 6-hour epic. But, I can’t help but feel that within that huge cast of lovable
Read MoreMinions: The Rise of Gru has finally come to theaters after 2 years of delays thanks to the pandemic. I’ll admit, this wasn’t something exactly on my radar, nor was it even something I was expecting to see in theaters. But, there we were, on a Saturday, with nothing to do after lunch; somehow we all landed on this. Then, to
Read MoreShang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings saw the introduction of a large portion of the Marvel universe.

Read MoreUmbrella Academy season 3 has been on Netflix for about a week, and ever since I was finished with the binge I’ve been theorizing on the future of these characters. Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Casteñeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Aidan Gallagher, and Justin H. Min are all back and operating in full force. The season brings a new beautiful layer to just
Read MoreScott Derrickson’s The Black Phone is the fastest movie I’ve ever seen. Written by Derrickson and his longtime creative partner C. Robert Cargill, The Black Phone is adapted from a Joe Hill short story of the same name. The runtime and efficiency of the story are enough to make this movie worth seeing, but on top of that it’s given a
Read MoreWestworld season 4 premieres on HBO Sunday, June 26th. I was recently given the opportunity to screen the first 4 episodes for review. Spoiler warning below for past seasons as I give my thoughts on the next one and the series overall. HBO’s Westworld has had a bit of a shaky run. Adapted from the 1973 movie of the same name,
Read MoreThe Ghostbusters franchise has been an enigma since before the first film was even released. The first one was a production nightmare, the popularity of the children’s cartoon changed the course of the second film, and the 2016 movie tried a little too hard to be funny again. Ghostbusters: Afterlife then went back to try to get back the attention of
Read MoreWithin 10 minutes of pressing play on “Payback,” season 3 of The Boys lets you know just how absolutely insane things are really going to get. If you want to go in spoiler-free, come back to this review later, otherwise, read on for my thoughts on the newest season’s first 3 episodes. [Spoiler warning for the first 3 episodes of The Boys
Read MoreEver since the series kicked off in 2014, Destiny has been a staple in the video game community.
