How much do I love the show “Schitt’s Creek”? Well, in the past I’ve been very vocal about my feelings regarding the explosion of online streaming services and my frustration about having to sign up for all of them in order to watch buzz-worthy TV shows. I’m very hesitant to
Even though the Star Wars prequels land at the bottom of my personal Star Wars film ranking, the computer animated Clone Wars series (which started airing in 2008) is actually one of my very favorite things in the Star Wars franchise. Fans have been intrigued by the prospect of the
I’ve written plenty of blogs about Star Wars over the years, and by this point, I’m pretty sure that anyone who knows me is fully aware of the fact that I am completely obsessed with this franchise. I’m not even really sure of how it all began, of why Star
I’ll never forget the last movie I went to see before the coronavirus quarantine started. There wasn’t necessarily a movie I was desperate to see that weekend, but I just really needed to get out of the house. I’d just learned my favorite regional con had been cancelled due to
Well, it looks like it’s time for the “Better Late than Never blog series…goes west” to ride off into the sunset. It’s been a great journey, and overall I’ve really enjoyed diving deeper into a genre I once thought I didn’t like. I’ll still always have a special place in

Well, when I posted the first part of my review of the Netflix miniseries “Godless” back on March 5, I had no idea how much my life would be changing in the next couple weeks. Since then, the university I work for has been shut down due to growing concerns
I was planning to spend this weekend getting ready for Planet Comicon, the regional geek convention my dad and I look forward to attending together every year. If you’ve never heard of Planet Comicon, I’m always happy to help promote it — it’s a fantastic mid-sized con that draws about
For a number of years, it seemed like television was looked on as a lesser art form than film. But thanks to the rise of prestigious and popular TV dramas like “The Sopranos,” “Game of Thrones,” and many others, we truly are living in a golden age of television storytelling.
So technically, “Hell or High Water” (2016) wasn’t on my original short list of films to watch for the “Better Late than Never…goes west” blog series. It’s also a bit of an outlier compared to the other films I’ve watched for the series. While I’ve watched some Westerns that were
The new DC Comics movie “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” made about $33 million at the domestic box office this weekend. Now, I personally would love to make that much money in a single weekend, but for a big-budget superhero blockbuster, that number was
