The thing about time is that for most of us, it’s linear. Living is experienced from point A to point B. You grow up, live, and then die. Every love is sequential, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The experiences in The Time Traveler’s Wife are anything but linear, especially the love. I have been a fan of this
Read MoreMackenzi Lee treats us to an early version of Loki in Loki: Where Mischief Lies. The Loki Lee presents is not yet the confident, scheming, God of Chaos that we’re used to. This one is unsure of himself and his abilities. But his desperate desire for his father’s approval coupled with the pain he experiences when he’s denied that approval, assures
Read MoreTitled ‘The End is Never the End’ this past week’s Charmed was indeed the end to this brilliant show. What should have been a season four closure turned quickly into the series finale for a show in the middle of a reinvention. Similar to the original series, Charmed saw the loss of one of the main stars, with Madeleine Mantock leaving
Read MoreThere’s something about vampires that seems to intrigue people. Is it immortality that people are fascinated about, regardless of the cost? Regardless of the why, if you were to ask Vin, our vampire fan extraordinaire, they are some of the coolest supernatural creatures to exist. With the first eight-episode season dropping on Netflix today, is First Kill worth your time? Will
Read MoreWant me to let you in on a little secret? There are some huge comic book fans here at The Cosmic Circus. It’s one of the passions and drives that brought us all together, the deep love that we have for all things nerdy. So when Editor-in-Chief Ms. Lizzie Hill offered us the chance to hold a comic book club, we
Read MoreChris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and original film trio Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill star in Jurassic World: Dominion. This film is the sixth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise and was directed by Colin Trevorrow. I had an opportunity to see this film early, and this is my spoiler-free review. Jurassic World: Dominion deals with the premise “what
Read MoreYou may be thinking that it’s a little presumptuous for a 33-year-old to be writing their memoirs. However right from the opening of this engaging read, you realize that these memoirs don’t just chronicle the life of Simu Liu but, in true Asian fashion, focus largely on his parents and grandparents. This lays a foundation for Liu’s story and honors his
Read MoreThis past week I had the privilege to preview the first two episodes for the Ms. Marvel series premiere. Possibly the most comic-faithful adaptation Marvel has ever done, I absolutely loved it. It was so pure and so perfect that I had to pause watching only a few minutes in because my eyes were filled with tears of joy and the

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 MoreNetflix dropped volume one of Stranger Things season four this past Friday, after what felt like the longest period between seasons. It’s been almost three years since our last adventure in Hawkins Indiana, which seems bonkers for such a high-profile show! The delay is partially due to the ongoing pandemic, with perhaps more time also needed to properly develop the story
Read MoreHello there! Happy Obi-Wan Kenobi premier day! The first episodes are finally here two years after being announced and I’m glad to share my spoiler-filled review. Obi-Wan Kenobi is cinematic. When Deborah Chow said that it’s a movie in six pieces she meant it. The pacing of the show was something I was a little worried about because past Marvel and
Read MoreFor those who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers was a childhood staple.
