Doctor Who Series 5 “Vincent And the Doctor” – Review

“Yep, that’s me. Yes, I do, yep, and this.” I’m actually off this week from talking about Doctor Who, and I’m doing this from back in the past, the distant past of last year. Is the Pandemic over yet? Don’t worry, it is…

Doctor Who “The Vampires of Venice” – Review

Channel Zero Season 3 Episode 4 Review: “Alice in Slaughterland”

Warning: This article contains discussion of cannibalism, violence, racism, and spoilers for Channel Zero. “Butcher’s Block”‘s fourth episode, the aptly named “Alice in Slaughterland,” pivots to focus the drama on the interior of the Peach residence. It’s an intelligent move, given the…

Dr Who “The Time of Angels” & “Flesh and Stone” – Review

Matt Smith is a beautiful man and a great actor, I will forever love him for those first few minutes. Following Amy’s question “What does it say?” to some scribbled high Gallifreyan scripture on a very literal black box, he simply says…
