Review: ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ S3 Episode 3

What We Do In The Shadows season 3 has only run three episodes so far seems to be improving with each one. In the series premiere, they quickly shifted the series in a much different direction than previous seasons had. With the once isolated trio of vampires of Staten Island now finding themselves running the whole show, as the new Vampiric Council

‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5 Reviews – Highs and Lows

For me, Rick and Morty season 4 had been a bit of a muddled mess. It contained some of my favorite episodes of the series with “The Vat of Acid Episode” and “The Old Man and the Seat,” but simultaneously had some of my least favorite episodes like “Childrick of Mort” and “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.” Well, Rick and

‘What We Do In The Shadows’ Season 3 Premiere Review

Based on the original movie of the same name, What We Do In The Shadows continues to serve as a worthy successor to its cinematic predecessor. The spin-off series follows a group of vampires as old as civilization itself, who’ve found themselves planted down in the modern-day Staten Island. The third season picks up just a month after the second ended,

‘Superman and Lois’ S1 Finale Review

Due to the ongoing pandemic, television has looked a little different with how productions film and release their shows, and Superman & Lois is no exception. Many of the Arrowverse shows had started and stopped through the entire 2020-2021 television season because filming under the new protocols for safety is taking much longer than anticipated. At least, that was the reason

‘Titans’ Season Three Spoiler Review: Episodes 1-3

To describe my experience watching the freshman and sophomore seasons of Titans, I’d probably use the term “hate-watch.” I binged the show for a couple of weeks after getting HBO Max earlier this year, and I enjoyed sitting in my bed and tearing it apart for a couple of days straight. So, I am not what you’d call a “fan” of

My ‘Star Trek Lower Decks’ Season 2 Premiere Review

The season 2 premiere episode of Star Trek Lower Decks pays homage to an original Star Trek episode, in its own wacky animated style, while keeping it original enough to be highly entertaining. This show and its characters are “not your Dad’s Star Trek” for sure, and so perhaps not for everyone, but myself being an old Star Trek: The Next

‘Stargirl’ Still Shines in Season 2 Premiere

  When season one of Stargirl first landed on the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service, it felt like a breath of fresh air among the other projects offered by DC. For years prior to the introduction to the DC Universe, the Arrowverse with shows like Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl had been bringing new stories with fan-favorite characters to families around the

‘Masters of the Universe: Revelation’ Part 1 – Spoiler Review

For my entire life, all I’ve heard about is how great He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was. My Mom and Dad were born in the mid-70s, so He-Man was very much my dad’s bag. However, my only experience with He-Man (beyond catching one or two local late-night tv eps) was a VHS of the live-action film from the 80s.

Looking Back on Loki

With less than 24 hours left before the end of Loki’s first season, my co-author Redovah and I decided to quickly recap the series from his Avengers-assisted escape in 2012 New York City to his showdown with a yet-to-be-revealed enemy. Here’s what you need to know to be completely prepared for the finale: Time with the TVA Loki opens with the titular
