THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA SEASON 3 REVIEW Last time on Vox Machina, our band of fearless warriors rolled the dice against the dragons that would rule the world and it was all kinds of super effective. However, all is not well in the world of Exandria. The most wicked and powerful of all dragons, Thordak (Lance Reddick) and his followers known as the Chroma Conclave, see the pesteri

GET AWAY MOVIE REVIEW Boring families go on vacations to well known attractions surrounded by fellow tourists and the safety of park security. An adventurous family, like Richard (Nick Frost), Susan (Aisling Bea), Sam (Sebastian Croft), and Jessie (Maisie Ayres), prefer something a little more off the beaten path. They take a vacation to a secluded remote Swedish island just prior

MOANA 2 MOVIE REVIEW It’s not usually a good sign when an animation company repurposes a planned tv series into a sequel film to one of their hits. I mean, I think. It’s happened before, right? Regardless, that’s the case with Moana 2. We were nervous because of that, Lin-Manuel Miranda not returning to do the score, and the general unlikelihood of a sequel living

THE PENGUIN SERIES REVIEW Set just one week after the events of 2022’s The Batman, The Penguin follows Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) trying to collect what little is left in his nightclub, The Iceberg Lounge.

GLADIATOR II MOVIE REVIEW After 24 years, Ridley Scott decided to dust off the old Gladiator garb and make a sequel to his 2000 epic that won the gold at the Oscars. Does Gladiator II have the same chances at becoming the best film of the year? Highly unlikely. Paul Mescal takes on the titular character this time around as a warrior sold into slavery and then rising in the ranks as

WICKED MOVIE REVIEW Seems like a holiday season can’t go by anymore without a big event musical film. Not that Chris, Frank, Wright, and Kim are complaining (note: these four end up together on a lot of the musical releases). This year though, one of the biggest musicals of the past few decades that has practically a cult built up around it, makes the jump. Will it be a smash

GHOST CAT ANZU MOVIE REVIEW Four adolescents are on a quest to see a dead body gathered around a campfire for the night to discuss one of life’s great mysteries: Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, Pluto is a dog, so what’s Goofy? The world may never know, but dear reader/listener, if you choose to stand by Bradly along with Jordan and Lewayne, you can ponder life, dea

RED ONE MOVIE REVIEW The influx of Xmas movies has begun. With a big cast and with director Jake Kasdan (The Jumanji movies) at the helm, Red One inserts a Marvel movie feel to the proceedings. Dwayne Johnson is Callum Drift, a top agent at E.L.F. who protects Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) and other mythological entities so they can get business done. When an unknown group manages to

AGATHA ALL ALONG SERIES REVIEW Disney Plus would like to M See U this fall for the WandaVision follow-up, Agatha Coven of Chaos! Wait, was that it? Hold on, let me get Feige on the phone: Mr. Feige, was that Agatha the Darkhold Diaries or Agatha the Lying Witch and the Wardrobe? He has just informed me that they settled on Agatha All Along. Love that title and love that song. Also

MEMOIR OF A SNAIL MOVIE REVIEW There are some filmmakers out there that appear to have an agenda to make the audience feel utter despair and sadness. Much like his previous film Mary & Max, Adam Elliot’s newest picture, Memoir of a Snail, drives home how truly terrible it can be to just exist in this world. Elliot again uses stop-motion animation to deliver a devastatingl
