During this time of year, there’s a never-ending slew of horror-related films and television shows coming out. Trust me, I know, seeing I’ve reviewed quite a few over the past couple of weeks. But hey, when spooky season has arrived, what’s one more to add to the collection? So if you’re all caught up on the likes of American Horror Story
Read MoreLook, I don’t know how to exactly get the point across, so I’ll be blunt, Rick and Morty are back! It’s a bit different, not much more than what you’re used to already and it’s still the great Sanchez/Smith family you know and love. The animated series returns with season 7 on Adult Swim, on Sunday nights and it’s going to
Read MoreJust in time for spooky season, we have a Marvel story where all our favorite heroes turn into zombies! A meteorite crash-lands in New York City (because where else would it land?) and all the superheroes turn up to investigate. Unfortunately, the meteorite is carrying something that turns supers into zombies. Very hungry zombies. Now those zombies are taking over the
Read MoreSome events leave a lasting impact on you. I don’t know about everyone else, but seeing Hamilton for the first time was one of these life-changing events. I felt my world shift profusely, due to the overall experience of witnessing something out of this world. It feels like there’s a clear distinction between two periods of your life; whatever colorless world
Read MoreWe’ve all heard a story of a big bad wolf at some point in our lives. Whether the classic Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs, wolves have a solid grasp on the fairytale market. Peter and the Wolf, a new animated short developed by Gavin Friday and Alistair Norbury, is no exception. This story, however, has a slightly
Read MoreThe God of Mischief has returned, bringing his signature chaos with him in Loki Season 2! Tom Hiddleston picked up the not-quite-horned mantle again, returning as Loki Odinson this past week in an appropriately twisty sci-fi episode called “Ouroboros” written by Eric Martin. It’s been two years since we left off on that dramatic scene with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) from season 1, and this
Read MoreGrowing up, I had a complicated relationship with Goosebumps. I was a huge proponent of reading and loved reading every book written by R. L. Stine. There wasn’t one in my school library that I didn’t devour and if it wasn’t there, my mother bought it from me on our weekly trip to the mall. I was obsessed, to say the
Read MoreThe first season of Ahsoka has reached its conclusion on Disney+, delivering a strong season from the Lucasfilm property. After eight episodes, the adventures of Rosario Dawson’s Jedi and her compatriots have concluded with a bigger threat now looming on the sidelines. With huge ramifications and the excitement of what’s to come for these characters, we had to hash it out
Read MoreThe Ahsoka season 1 finale gave us so many memorable and moving Star Wars moments, but definitely left fans with a lot of questions. This season has been full of incredible storytelling. I was so blown away by everything Dave Filoni put into this show and I can’t wait to see more. [Warning: Spoilers ahead for Ahsoka season 1!] The finale
Read MoreMan, the stress of senior year. Passing classes, filling out college applications, and of course getting those letters of recommendation. It’s bad enough for mortals, but for Percy Jackson, it’s a whole other level. Percy is hoping to attend New Rome University with his girlfriend Annabeth Chase. The only problem is that he spent most of his junior year with amnesia
Read MoreWhen Ron Possible said “Time travel, it’s a cornucopia of disturbing concepts” back in 2003’s Kim Possible: A Stitch in Time, he was on to something. Depending on the film or television show and the rules of time travel setup, it can get complicated quickly. However, if done correctly, the hijinx and misadventures of someone out of time can be engaging.
Read MoreHere we go again. Another exorcism movie brought to us by Hollywood after decades of failing to match the one that made them a mainstream commodity: The Exorcist. And another sequel to the property, no less. For the most part, it’s hard to have anticipation for this genre of horror anymore. Most of them try to replicate the shock-filled brilliance of
