Channel Zero Episode 3 Review: “Want To See Something Cool?”
Warning: This article contains discussion of police violence and abuse of power, and spoilers for Channel Zero. Channel Zero‘s mid-season point marks a well-placed pivot toward the more human elements underlying its story. In doing so, it lends some needed gravitas to…
The Falconeer (XBO) – Review
The Falconeer is about riding a giant bird into battle and firing guns from its back. Why, for weeks before release, did I always think of something else when hearing that title? With every trailer that I’d seen before its release, it…
Cadaver (2020) Review
Warning: This review contains pictures that aren’t suitable for all audiences. Well, heck: I’ve fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole of international horror again. This is an exercise that can take a little more warming up than usual. Oftentimes the traditions of…

Channel Zero Episode 2 Review: “I’ll Hold Your Hand”
Warning: This article contains discussion of mental illness, and images of blood. Last week, I wrote about some of the slightly stiff dialogue (or maybe it was the delivery) that marked Channel Zero’s first episode. As is often the case with fledgling…
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – Review
I decided to go back and watch Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse this week because of the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 5. In this movie, Miles Morales takes on the Spider-Man role, and must learn how to use his…
The Pathless (PC) Review
Short version: I’m glad to say I was right about my early “warm fuzzies” about this title from Giant Squid. Having enjoyed Abzu, I didn’t think I could really go wrong here; but still, it’s a joy to see my hopes and…
