The Bear (Series) Review

The culinary world is an intensely fascinating industry. It’s a career path that is filled with dozens of highs and lows. As a result, it’s no surprise that you can find culinary content focused on a huge variety of angles. From wholesome…

A Haunting in Venice (Movie) Review

Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot has returned to the screens in another triumphant adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery. In A Haunting in Venice, we see a retired Hercule Poirot navigating his way away from mysteries after the traumatic events of Death on…

SNW “Ad Astra Per Aspera” – Review

Lt Grissom, White, and Chaffee are the three men you’d probably never think of but unless you are from Kansas or know Latin. They are best associated with the loose translation of Ad Astra Per Aspera. For them, it is “A rough…

SNW “The Broken Circle” – Review

Carol Kane is like Kris Kringle, if you don’t love or believe in her, you are on the naughty list. This episode has the exact same creative team as “A Quality of Mercy,” though with a little help from Onitra Johnson from…

SNW “A Quality of Mercy” – Review

Regrettably, I can’t say the word, but I think he certainly is a word that rhymes with punt. That’s enough about Captain Snogs-A-Lot, we’ve got Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers’ season finale in “The Quality of Mercy.” This episode was directed…

SNW “All Those Who Wander” – Review

Don’t come clanging down the street with saucepans for feet when it comes to your sci-fi horror, or quite frankly horror in general. A solid suspenseful horror will always outshine the jumpscare-athons that plagued us throughout the 2000s. This is the only…

Vinland Saga (Anime) Review

I’d like to start doing more Anime reviews but given the amount of shows on my to-watch list that may or may not occur. Nonetheless, I wanted to take some time to discuss one of the more recent shows to air this…

SNW “The Elysian Kingdom” – Review

Storytime, now where were we? I oddly admire Akela Cooper, Benny Russell, & Onitra Johnson’s “The Elysian Kingdom.” It is as camp as Brian Blessed marching down the street clad only in a big trans-pride flag shouting obscenities at those saying pride…

SNW “The Serene Squall” – Review

The Orions are totally not overused recently in Star Trek. Returning from episode 2 “Children of the Comet,” we have Sarah Tarkoff, and Beau DeMayo of “Memento Mori” as well as every gay Star Trek fan’s Instagram timeline. These two head up writing…

SNW “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” – Review

This is the first Strange New Worlds episode with two returning writers, Bill Wolkoff of “Ghosts of Illyria,” and Robin Wasserman with “Spock Amok.” The two are joined by Arrowverse director Andi Armaganian, who also did some work with Discovery, but those are seasons 4…
