Star Trek: Lower Decks “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” Review

It’s the one with the Quito! I said it in the first review a few weeks ago now, but Lower Decks is the series for the biggest of Star Trek nerds to enjoy all that is theirs. Similar to what Star Wars fans get with the forty-million series every…

The Devil Wears Prada (Film) – Review

A few years ago now at another (dead) site, I wrote about how my tastes differ from most men my age. Unlike other 20-something men who probably like watching Tom Cruise pretend he’s actually entertaining, I adore Aline Brosh McKenna’s adaptation of…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Moist Vessel” – Review

I’ve been waiting for the cold opens to actually be about something instead of just being a quick joke that has mostly nothing to do with the following events, this episode delivered. “Moist Vessel” – yes, that’s its name – is written…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Temporal Edict” – Review

This one is called, let’s rock this place until the dilithium crystals crack! 1, 2, 3, 4! Joking aside, the cold open with its non-sequitur nature in this episode did make me giggle. Though that might have been from the fact I…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Envoys” – Review

Two episodes in and we’ve got a Ferengi and an alcoholic Klingon. I love when absolute nerds (that are proficient) are let loose on established IPs. “Envoys,” is yet another example of character work while doing something fun with the franchise of…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Second Contact” – Review

I’m not hiding my opinion here. I honestly wonder whether or not Lower Decks is the best series, if the Cerritos is the best ship, and if the crew is the best cast of Star Trek. The first is a toss-up, as is the…

Doctor Who “Resolution” – Review

How hard was it to finish off writing your title, “Resolution” of the Daleks? After the battle of bippidy boppity boo, I don’t trust Chris to write his own name. At least not without stabbing himself in the brain. This is the…

PRIMAL – (TV Series) Review

Genndy Tartakovsky is easily one of the most underappreciated artists out there. His unique art style and action-heavy storytelling is responsible for the legendary Samurai Jack which premiered on Cartoon Network in August of 2001. Unfortunately, action cartoons have never been hugely…

Doctor Who “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos” – Review

The battle of bippidy boppity boo is possibly the worst titled episode this side of “The Tsuranga Conundrum.” The penultimate episode in our reviews of a previous series in Nu-Who, the penultimate Chibnall story this time around, and the one that no…

Doctor Who “It Takes You Away” – Review

How do you even start with this one? This is the last good (and untainted) episode of Jodie’s run that beautifully captures the spirit of Doctor Who and what you want coming away from such a show. “It Takes You Away” subverts…
