Netflix’s The Watcher plays like a hybrid of Ryan Murphy fanfiction and it’s own nonsensical multiple-episode documentaries that don’t have a resolution. There are seven episodes in this series and you could’ve spent no more than seven minutes looking online at the true story on which it is based to get the whole story. InContinue reading “‘The Watcher’ Gives Us Nothing To See Here, Keep Browsing”

Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’
Velma Dinkley was supposed to be the ying to Daphne Blake’s yang. She was the book-smart, more logical one to Daphne’s All-American cheerleader preppy girl archetype. In many ways, people have said the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? modeled its characters after the characters from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. You can see theContinue reading “Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’”
How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos
Before I begin this, let me do a preface similar to the Thriller video that I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson following the sexual abuse allegations. I also think John Landis should have taken more responsibility for his actions. Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child actors lost their lives 40 years ago because LandisContinue reading “How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos”

Well, if you were an MCU fan, as well as a Halloween fan, this past week was either a good week or a bad week, depending on your opinions of both the latest Halloween movie and the season finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

‘Werewolf By Night’ Brings Horror To The MCU
Without a doubt, the MCU had benefitted a lot in the last two years from the Disney-Plus streaming service.

‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller
Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a reminder of a bye-gone era in which made-for-TV movies were just as good as what was shown in the theaters. You have Brian’s Song and Duel which both proved to be such hits that they were shown in theaters with Duel getting additional footage shot by a youngContinue reading “‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller”
What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’
When they were pitching the idea for what would become Seinfeld, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld called it a show about nothing. I think they used the same pitche when they told Disney-Plus about Andor. Five episodes in to what is a reported 12-episode season and this show has abosutely nothing going on with it.Continue reading “What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’”
Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew
I wasn’t a big fan of the first Hocus Pocus. I’ve only seen it twice. Once, when it was on TV back in the 1990s and the other time was last year on Disney-Plus. I never got into the whole movie. Maybe it was because I was 15 when it came out and it onlyContinue reading “Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew”

More than 30 years have passed since the news broke of Jeffrey Dahmer’s arrest in Milwaukee. It’s still one of the most strangest criminal cases in American history. The horror of what happened occurred when public opinion against gay men was slowly changing. Sadly as the HIV/AIDS crisis was still a cause for concern, DahmerContinue reading “‘Monster’ Exploits Dahmer’s Crimes For Entertainment”
‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument
The American Crime Story anthology series started out great with The People vs. O.J. Simpson and faultered with the still good The Assassination of Gianni Versace. However, Impeachment feels more like it was rushed into production before it was too late. It’s reported that the third season was going to focus on Hurricane Katrina andContinue reading “‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument”
