As the internet does so well, it’s full of black and white hot-takes and very little nuance and context. It’s odd that people are shocked by PlayStation’s announcement that they’re ending physical media, cause I was already late to the game on discussing my opinion about this back in 2024! I’m by no means Nostradamus …
I was eight years old the first time Evil Dead II broke my brain. I shouldn’t have been watching it. I was, and it was fine, and it made me who I am. The deadite transformations, the possessed hand, Ash running from his own severed limb while it made rude gestures at him, all of …
“Witch has whole town under spell, as she takes victims the town’s people see this as a sitcom on their home television thinking nothing of it. Only a few are not fooled by this spell.” So what, I’m just describing the plot of WandaVision, right? Actually no, this was a completely original idea I came …
I was twelve years old when Nowhere Man premiered on UPN in August 1995, and I watched every episode with the lights off, alone, which in retrospect explains a lot about me. Most people my age were watching Friends. I was watching a photojournalist lose his entire identity to a shadowy government conspiracy and slowly …
As meta (both -physical and -phorical) as Severance is, the more unsettling aspect of the show is that it’s quite literal. In my experience, many corporations are very cult-like, in their language, marketing, dress code, rules, etc. There’s always been something subversive in the way corporations (for the sake of PR) pretend to care about …
The short answer is of course “No,” physical media will never go away entirely. However, as with most things, the truth is more nuanced and it’s definitely naive to ignore the way things have been trending over the past decade. You can’t stop progress. New technology always has and always will change the landscape of …
HBO’s The Last of Us stands bloody and gulping for air over a field filled with so many dead and mediocre video game adaptations for film and television. The new series places a high degree of confidence in its source material so fans of the award-winning PlayStation 3 original title, the even more masterful 2020 …
“Open your mind to fear,” states the tagline for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. We should be grateful for a solid new anthology series that is worthy of attention as we patiently wait for the return of Netflix’s Black Mirror. This new collection of frightful tales shows a great deal of respect for the …
I was a fan of Westworld years before it was ever even conceived as a TV show, that’s because, and some of you may not know this, it was first a movie (released in 1973). The movie itself was well-made, but the concept was what made it special. It’s such a fun concept, the kind …
Going by IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings, 5.9 and 46% respectively, most people seem to hate the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series, Invasion. But, for the life of me, I can’t figure out why? I’ve now completed the entire first season, and the show has already been renewed for a second season. The show has …
