TV Review: ‘Chad Powers’ Sees Improvement in Season Two
Chad Powers was an interesting watch upon release in 2025. Season one was certainly entertaining, but it existed as nothing more than mindless entertainment. The performances, particularly from Glen Powell and Steve Zahn, balanced both the emotional depth and comedy. Yet they were undercut by a variety of Mrs. Doubtfire-esque comedic hijinks scattered throughout. Even […] More

On the Fall Radar…
Seriously? Tim Curry and Dolly Parton in one week? Have we not been suffering enough? We couldn’t have some time to mourn our beloved country music icon who devoted her life and wealth to making the world a better place before getting hit with the passing of our favorite childhood villain/hambone delight?

Ranking the Best Performances So Far From Margaret Qualley
Margaret Qualley, ever since I first saw her on the screen in The Nice Guys (and Palo Alto), has struck me as an actress worth keeping an eye on. Early in her career, she just had a screen presence and a vibe that suggested stardom. Now, having seen over a decade of strong work from […] More

‘Coyote vs. Acme’ Being in Theaters Today is a Win For Cinema
Yesterday, at long last, Coyote vs. Acme was released in theaters. At one point, this would have been, at best, an unlikely outcome, and purportedly an impossible one. It really does feel like a real win for cinema, for filmgoers, and for fans of the industry. Especially at a time where the Paramount merger with […] More
