Folks, we’ve made it through another year. This is the third time that I’ve written one of these end of the year rankings, and it’s the third time you all are owed congratulations for getting through another incredibly rough year. Things just keep getting rougher and rougher, […]
If there’s one thing I can say about the DCEU, it’s that it always keeps me guessing. I have, pretty vocally, not been a fan of the DC films as of late. They’ve taken some of the greatest superheroes ever made and run them through a moody […]
It’s been a great couple years to be a fan of Spider-Man. The comics have been in pretty rare form, what with Dan Slott ending his stories tenure as the primary writer of our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Chip Zdarsky pushing Spider-Man and his interpersonal relationships into […]
Not everyone is going to have the same opinions on works of art. Even when there appears to be a really common consensus on a story, or a creator of stories, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s wrong if you personally don’t connect with them. Stories hit […]

Over the course of their illustrious career, the Coen Brothers have gained the reputation of being creators that are hard to figure out what they’re going to do next. Their films have a general aesthetic to them, but within that aesthetic they’re able to tell stories […]
2018 has been a really solid year for movies. We’ve been given some incredibly massive blockbusters that have destroyed records, we’ve gotten a slew of wonderful dramas, and a nice collection of weirder stuff that will probably be the most remembered in a few decades. But, in […]
In general I’m not one to get bent out of shape at the concept of remakes. Yeah, most remakes aren’t able to top the quality of the original film, but I’ve never understood the mentality of taking a remake as some sort of affront to the legacy […]
The world is in a pretty chaotic state at the moment, in case you weren’t aware. There’s a common joke online, based on the idea that our reality is just an elaborate simulation, and that said simulation has to be breaking down, because it seems like every […]
