This week's Star Trek: Discovery has a Charles Dickens-like feel as the series takes a pseudo trip down memory and what might be to come as Capt. Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), her chief engineer Cmdr. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), and her new first officer, Cmdr. Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) is in a bottle-type episode where […]
Prime Video's Fallout is wild, anarchic, and hilarious, capturing the kind of fun that hasn't been in the last two games. If you've played the games for a long period of time – I've played all of them – it's hard to watch the TV series and take it on its own terms, but I'll […]
By the time I got done laughing along with host Ryan Gosling, musical guest Chris Stapleton, and SNL's writers & cast for 90 minutes, I knew that there were folks out there who hated what they just watched. Why? Because this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live was a "break-fest" of epic proportions. Imagine […]
The next stop on the Star Trek: Discovery farewell tour is Trill in the episode "Jinaal." Despite prior history, the Trill make Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) answer a riddle for the plot, not because they're friends or anything. With the away team set, Adira (Blu Del Barrio) reunites with their old flame, finding out […]
The season finale of Crunchyroll's Solo Leveling was a perfect wrap-up to a fantastic season, successfully leaving viewers wanting more… now. A few days ago, I left the anime playing as I was writing, and I had to give a try to the Latin American Spanish dub. I was pleasantly surprised at the animation and […]
I know that most folks pointed to Paul Rudd, Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Martin Short, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, Martin Short, Ryan Gosling, and Paula Pell appearing during the opening monologue as a sign that Saturday Night Live alum & comedic genius Kristen Wiig's "Five-Timers" show was going to be something different. But for us, we knew […]
You'd think after saving the galaxy twice since entering the 32nd century would have bought all the trust in the world for Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and her crew of the U.S.S. Discovery, but things still need to be operated on the down low when we start in season five of Star Trek: Discovery. […]
If you look at the finale of AMC's Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) & Danai Gurira (Michonne)-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live through the perspective of a video game, CRM was definitely the "Final Boss." But in terms of Rick & Michonne's TWD journey, "The Last Time" (directed by Michael E. Satrazemis and written […]
My expectations for this weekend's return episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live weren't high – but that had nothing to do with host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott. It's just that the long-running late-night sketch comedy & music series was coming off of an extended break after two strong outings from Sydney Sweeney […]
After what I can arguably say was one of the best single episodes in the long-running franchise's history, AMC's Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) & Danai Gurira (Michonne)-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live returned this week with the season's penultimate episode (we're working under the assumption that it's getting a second season). If we're […]
The last two episodes of Crunchyroll's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, "An Era of Humans" & "It Would Be Embarrassing When We Met Again" were the best episodes to end a fantastic first season on. The episodes gave us a better understanding of Serie's disappointment toward Frieren, as well as Fern's power. They also address Frieren's […]
The Netflix adaptation of Liu Cixin's epic Science Fiction saga 3 Body Problem has finally premiered. To say it was eagerly and nervously anticipated is an understatement. For starters, the book is the Eastern equivalent of Dune, often considered impossible to adapt. For another thing, China premiered its own TV adaptation a year ago with […]
X-Men: The Animated Series represented peak Fox Saturday morning cartoon programming tackling some of the comics' biggest stories during its original run from 1992-1997. Its popularity helped expand into another equally popular Spider-Man: The Animated Series in 1994, which helped solidify a golden age of animation for Marvel. Since X-Men: TAS's original end in 1997, […]
It's not like Lesley-Ann Brandt (Pearl Thorne) didn't give us the heads-up that the fourth episode of AMC's Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) & Danai Gurira (Michonne)-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live was going to be something special. But even fair warning like that didn't prepare us for "What We," this weekend's Michael Slovis-directed, […]
Crunchyroll's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, "The Height of Magic," was a thrilling episode that kept us at the edge of our seats. The action on this episode was fantastic, and still managed to keep the story going without gratuitously extending battles needlessly. Once again, Frieren keeps blasting exceptional episodes after exceptional episodes— even if you […]
After host Josh Brolin, musical guest Ariana Grande, and the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live took their final bow last weekend, the long-running sketch comedy/music series headed off into a break until the end of the month. When SNL does return on March 30th with Ramy Youssef & Travis Scott, it will be the […]
Damn you, AMC's Andrew Lincoln (Rick) & Danai Gurira (Michonne)-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Just when I thought I knew what I was going to get with last week's episode, you went and flipped the script on my TWD expectations. Sure, we were treated to Michonne's (Gurira) backstory leading up to her first […]
Look, it's not like NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't have a lot of pressure heading into this weekend's episode. After course-correcting the season last weekend with host Sydney Sweeny & musical guest Kacey Musgraves, we hoped that Josh Brolin & Ariana Grande would build upon that momentum. Because however this weekend's show went, it would […]
This week's episode of Crunchyroll's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, "A Fatal Vulnerability," is a fun episode with a beautiful battle and meaningful flashbacks. Another episode of Frieren joins the list of 25 stellar episodes so far. Even in the midst of urgency, the show does not fail to keep its vibe intact. Probably in other […]
Don't think we haven't been on to you for years now. We know we've been down this road before. And yet, we get sucked in every time – and we end up being the better for it. If you're a fan of the TWD Universe, then you know what we're talking about. It's that moment […]
