Vince Gilligan is a genius. Breaking Bad firmly planted him on my radar and quickly everybody else’s. You cannot have a conversation about the best of TV without someone bringing it up. My response is always, you’re right to mention it, but did you watch Better Call Saul? It was a series I did not […] More
I went into MGM+’s new Robin Hood expecting a typical spin on the familiar 650-year-old legend, one that steals from the rich and gives to the poor in predictable fashion. My understanding of the legend has been formed mostly by pop culture and staples like Disney’s animated fox musical, Errol Flynn’s merry antics, Kevin Costner’s […] More
If you think you know who John Wayne Gacy is, you probably don’t know Jack. While Gacy looms large in the pop culture zeitgeist, a name synonymous with the menacing moniker “Killer Clown,” few know the details surrounding the man’s reign of terror. For decades, the story of the serial killer has been reduced to […] More
There are very few directors on the planet with more name recognition than Martin Scorsese. A quintessential New York filmmaker, he evolved from an angry young man who wasn’t getting the respect he deserved for his shocking and violent films to a universally regarded master. So, it only makes sense that a documentary about his […] More
Plenty of big-time movie stars are moving to television. Enticing stories take time to be told, which means two-hour movies simply won’t suffice. That pivot to television includes one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, Glen Powell. Powell has proven himself to be a big-time movie star with hits such as Top Gun: Maverick, […] More
Marvel Zombies is a disappointing offshoot of one of Marvel’s most disappointing misfires. More
Sterlin Harjo, the visionary behind Reservation Dogs, has a gift for building worlds so vivid and textured you’d swear you could step right into them. He populates them with characters – crooks, dreamers, misfits, hustlers, and oddballs who feel so real and familiar it is easy to forget they came from his imagination – you […] More
When one thinks of HBO, prestigious television is the first thing that comes to mind. Shows like Game of Thrones, The Wire, and True Detective are some of the shows that have changed the television landscape. In 2021, Brad Ingelsby’s Emmy-winning drama Mare of Easttown provided a culmination of what HBO does best. Yes, it […] More
The second season of Peacemaker is off to an exceptional start, after a rocky beginning to the DCU. More
Billy Joel is seminal to my life. I can say with a decent amount of certainty that his music was the first rock and roll that I heard as a newborn. As I’ve written about previously, my mother was a huge fan of his. My dad loves him too. So, his songs were ubiquitous in […] More
When Prey came out a few years ago (reviewed here), filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg found a really exciting way to tackle the Predator IP. By going back to basics, as well as suggesting how different time periods easily lend themselves to stories of this hunter, it really did seem like something was unlocked. The sequel to […] More
The two-part HBO documentary Pee-wee as Himself is so full of life and joy at times it is easy to set aside the sad fact that Pee-wee is no longer with us. The film peels away the artist’s much guarded facade to deliver an extremely emotional, insightful look at a comic genius, Paul Reubens, from […] More
