Fandom isn’t a box of groceries left on an old woman’s doorstep. It isn’t a thick blanket gifted to a child on a frigid night, and won’t keep the rain off your head. Yet to so many it is as necessary and natural as breathing. Why? If survival is dependent
Have you ever finished a film, TV series, or book and thought, “Wow, that was an excellent story…but I’m not sure if I enjoyed it”? I recently finished watching Netflix’s big-budget adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s epic DC Comics series, The Sandman, and to be honest, I’m still working through my
If you’ve listened to me chat about Star Wars for more than 30 seconds, then you’ve probably heard me talk about my love for the sequel trilogy. I know they were (and still are) somewhat controversial, and not all fans agreed on how they turned out. And you know what?
Dear Star Wars: You know I love you. I will always love you. You are my all-time favorite franchise, through good times and bad. But…I have a confession to make. As much as I enjoyed the Obi-Wan Kenobi series (really, I am grateful), it was not my favorite show I’ve
Until a short time ago, I didn’t watch horror movies. They were too scary, too gory, and – quite frankly – too much for me to handle…or so I thought. Then Jordan Peele’s Get Out blew my mind (in a good way), and I realized, “Hey – this is some
I’ll never forget what it felt like to discover the first season of The Umbrella Academy. I was stuck at home too sick to go into work, and just kept watching episode after episode on Netflix, completely entranced. The show was hilarious, wonderfully weird, and also deeply moving, and I
I’ve been pondering over Thor: Love and Thunder ever since I walked out of the theater on Saturday night, trying to decide what I wanted to say in my review. And honestly, I’ve been having a little trouble organizing my thoughts into a cohesive opinion. I feel like I’m in
I’ve found it funny that since the MCU shows started releasing on Disney+, some of my favorites have been the ones I was initially less excited about. My favorite MCU Disney+ series by far is WandaVision, even though I was somewhat hesitant about the concept. I don’t think I was
If you’re a fan of period dramas, you can probably guess – even before you walk into the theater – how the movie Mr. Malcolm’s List is going to end. The film stars Sope Dirisu as Jeremy Malcolm, one of the most eligible bachelors in Regency-era London. He’s looking for
Earlier this year, I challenged myself to get outside my entertainment comfort zone and watch different kinds of media than I normally consume. I watched and reviewed a short film, a documentary, and a movie that came out last year that I really wanted to see but just never got
If one of your favorite Star Wars characters is Obi-Wan Kenobi, I highly recommend picking up John Jackson Miller’s (now non-canon) novel Kenobi. Styled after classic Westerns, the novel depicts Obi-Wan coming to terms with his exile on Tatooine following Anakin’s fall to the dark side and the destruction of
When I watched the trailer for Disney/Pixar’s new animated film Lightyear, my first impression was that the movie looked fun but I didn’t experience a “jump-out-of-your-seat” level of hype. That turned out to pretty much summarize how I felt about the film after watching it this weekend. It’s a fun
