John Wick: Chapter 2 – Perfecting Action
2014’s John Wick didn’t just set the bar for action cinema; it WAS the bar. On top of being shoot-em-up excellence, John Wick had the added bonus of being an emotionally-complex drama, bringing the generic action-revenge flick down to its knees with a character-focused story about a retired hitman avenging the brutal slaying of his… Continue reading John Wick: Chapter 2 – Perfecting Action
Every Survivor Season Ranked
I’ve always been a fan of shows like Survivor. There’s not a lot of content out there that fits into the bubble of “social strategy seasonal reality competition” shows, so when I can find one, I usually tend to enjoy it quite a lot. Despite this, it actually wasn’t until very recently that I decided… Continue reading Every Survivor Season Ranked
Best Movies of 2022
What can be said about 2022? Well, lots, actually, because this was a damn fine year for movies. Not to repeat myself, but every year is a great year for movies if you know where to look; in fact, 2022 was the best year we’ve had for movies since before a certain world-altering pandemic. We’ve… Continue reading Best Movies of 2022
‘Avatar: Way of Water’ – Beautifully Flawed
Much like its predecessor, Avatar: The Way of Water will be the subject of long-running debate and criticism. Some will see it as a true-to-form cinematic marvel in a time when original stories in Hollywood seem far-fetched; others will look past the stunning and lifelike imagery to bring down the movie’s characters and story For… Continue reading ‘Avatar: Way of Water’ – Beautifully Flawed
The Game Awards: Hypocrisy and Contempt for Gaming
With the razzle-dazzle of The Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys becoming more of a poison with each and every subsequent year, it’s only natural we have yet another show to parody more of the entertainment industry with video gaming. With awards shows that regularly celebrate and reinforce the worst and darkest aspects and traditions of the… Continue reading The Game Awards: Hypocrisy and Contempt for Gaming
Barry Berkman’s Moral decline
For a long time now I have just sat around while my friends talked about Bill Hader's Barry. The show seemed to have popped out of nowhere and everyone claimed to have seen it. I thought I was being pranked! A month ago however, I finally took the jump and began to watch Barry. They… Continue reading Barry Berkman’s Moral decline
Prescience 3: Against All Lore
Featured Image; Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It looks like a video game map. Basically the only science fiction I’ve even engaged with in the last month has been Disney’s latest Star Wars series, Andor. This time of year always gets busy for me, and I’ve… Continue reading Prescience 3: Against All Lore
Review and analysis on the effective horror of Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared
To say media of cutesy things that appear targeted to a younger audience being subverted into something terrifying, violent, and coarse is a trope that’s been beaten to the ground that it no longer has any impact is an understatement. It used to be a novel concept; just take something that appears childish and cute… Continue reading Review and analysis on the effective horror of Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared
Better Call Saul: Howard and Jimmy. Two side of the same coin
Throughout the current five and a half seasons of Better Call Saul we the audience have seen our protagonist Jimmy constantly perform scheme after scheme to either make a quick buck or get his clients the best deal he possibly can, even if that means bending the rules.

I’m still not over it: WrestleMania 38 reviewed
Just so you know this is not an unbiased review, this is in fact it's supremely biased review. I didn't want to watch WrestleMania this year. I haven't watched WWE tv regularly for two years, skipping the regular programming and picking a select number of pay-per-views a year instead. This is by far the best… Continue reading I’m still not over it: WrestleMania 38 reviewed
Make a Musou: Thunderbolt Fantasy
Hello, and welcome to the third article in my new series on The Story Arc: Make a Musou. I love Dynasty Warriors, the number of times I bring it up, and the multiple Musou related articles I've written should be proof enough of that. However, I am currently in a Dynasty Warriors drought as I… Continue reading Make a Musou: Thunderbolt Fantasy
‘The Suicide Squad’: Catalyst for Chaos
There was a point a long time ago that DC appeared to struggle from an identity crisis. Trying to play catch-up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC seemed desperate to compete with their filmography, clashing ideas and rushing projects in a bid to imitate their competitor, while also promising to offer something different. There's the… Continue reading ‘The Suicide Squad’: Catalyst for Chaos
That Time the GEICO Cavemen Got a Sitcom
I would like for you to go back and imagine yourself back in 2006. You’re home and you see an advertisement on TV. A disfigured, bulky man is on-screen, and you hear a sentence uttered: “So easy, a caveman can do it”, followed by the GEICO signature. In these ads, a troglodyte man is usually… Continue reading That Time the GEICO Cavemen Got a Sitcom
