Doctor Who “Lux” – Review

Oh my, King James suddenly got a lot less gay and became a lot more colorful. Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, it certainly is something of his that I can tell he’s had bubbling for a while. As Australian writer and…

Doctor Who “The Robot Revolution” – Review

The Doctor and a woman of color who works in a hospital? That’ll never work! Written by showrunner Russell T. Davies, you might have heard of him for doing some work on ChuckleVision, Children’s Ward, Coronation Street: Viva Las Vegas!, The Second…

Eureka “Once in a Lifetime” – Review

I mean, it isn’t: Jack is waking up to strange new worlds all the time. This episode is directed by Michael Lange, who is best known for far too many episodes of something called Greek. I don’t want to be disparaging, but…

Eureka “H.O.U.S.E. Rules” – Review

Doctor Who will start two weeks from now. I’m a bit busy dealing with AI house problems right now. Directed by Jeff Woolnough and written by Harry Victor, the two last worked on “Dr. Nobel” earlier in the season, and this is…

Death of a Unicorn (Movie) Review

A24 has been a stamp of quality small-budget films for quite a long time. Everything from Ex Machina to Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, they are constantly releasing fascinating stories. In fact, I often find that the more ridiculous a title…

I know it’s meant to be a reference to Prince or something, but can we just rename it Pink and Lacy? The third of Johanna Stokes’ five writing credits, she’s listed as working on the teleplay for this one, while show creators…

Eureka “Primal” – Review

A little bit of family drama here, and a bit of cribbing from Doctor Who there. Directed by Colin Bucksey, I’m beyond surprised that I get to say the next few things in order. Bucksey is probably best known for four episodes…

Black Bag (Movie) Review

It has been quite a while since I have seen a great spy film. The last one that I can recall was Daniel Craig’s curtain call for his version of James Bond with No Time To Die. Due to this, I was…

Novocaine (Movie) Review

Jack Quaid has had quite a fascinating 2025 so far. Starting the year off with the phenomenal Companion, I was absolutely sold on the concept of his next film, Novocaine. The trailer promised a strange action film that seemed to be similar…

Ash (Film) Review

Of all the movies that I have been looking forward to during the first quarter of 2025, Ash made the top list. On a fluke, I was recommended the trailer for this film a few months ago by YouTube’s algorithm. It promised…
