THE BOYS SEASON 3 REVIEW Amazon Prime’s hit satirical takedown of superheroes based on the Garth Ennis/Darick Robertson comic, The Boys is back for its third year. The fallout from last season’s finale sees Vought International on immediate damage control following the reveal of Stormfront’s Nazi identity and rehabilitation of their golden boy Homelander, who […]

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY SEASON 3 REVIEW The Hargreeves family is finally back from their jaunt through 1960s Dallas and into the present day. Or so they think. The third season of Netflix’s adaptation of the Dark Horse comic from Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá picks up from where we last left our dysfunctional family as they […]

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER MOVIE REVIEW You’re Thor? I’m so thor from laughing I can barely breathe. That was pretty much Chris, Danni, and Wright’s reaction to Taika Waititi’s follow-up to his wonderful (sorry haters) Thor: Ragnarok. Now with Asgard on Earth being run by Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) as a tourist attraction and Thor taking […]

MOON KNIGHT SERIES REVIEW In the latest Disney Plus/Marvel Cinematic Universe show, the action moves to first London and then Egypt. New York’s just got too damn many superheroes in it.

THE BATMAN MOVIE REVIEW A new version of the Batman mythos has been launched by director Matt Reeves (The Planet of the Apes trilogy) with Robert Pattinson donning the cowl and cape. It’s year two for Bats and he’s pretty pissed off. There is no ‘Bruce Wayne’ persona other than being known as a completely […]

HAWKEYE SERIES REVIEW It’s Christmas time in NYC and all poor Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) wants to do is get home and be with his wife and kids. But here comes this teenager, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), to mess up his holiday plans. She’s a very young woman who during the process of trying to stop […]

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME MOVIE REVIEW In retrospect, it seems like it would have made more sense to record this entirely as a spoiler review. Because those anxious to avoid spoilers aren’t looking at ANYTHING that even potentially could spoil something about “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the rest of you already saw it. Some […]
