Read MoreMovies based on video games get a bad rap. Perhaps it has to do with the films paling in comparison to the video games, unable to capture the essence that made the games great. Or the standard for a great video game movie is set exceptionally high because the games are so fantastic. Either way, it isn’t very often that fans
Read MoreWow, are we really halfway through the six-episode run of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight? It does not seem like it has been three weeks since we were graced with the marshmallow that is Steven Grant and the mystery of Marc Spector and Moon Knight. Now that we have made it to this mid-point in the series, it’s as good of a
Read MoreIs there a doctor in the house? Because it seems like Morbius’s box office performance could use a little resuscitation.

Read MoreAfter the spectacular first year Marvel Studios had on Disney+, it was hard to imagine how they could top it as they usher in their second year on the streaming service. Shows like WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye allowed for deeper exploration of characters we have all come to know and love. However, if Moon Knight is any indication of what is
Read MoreOne thing I do enjoy about Netflix releases is when they do trailer drops randomly throughout the week, when I saw the animation style followed by the name Richard Linklater, I knew I’d want to see it.
