Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time

Gaslit couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m sure the powers that be behind this eight-part limited series about the Watergate break-in and the aftermath weren’t anticipating the Jan. 6 hearings to happen during the series’ initial broadcast. When filming began in the summer of 2021, the Jan. 6 insurrection coup attempt was stillContinue reading “Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time”

The Gaslighting Of A Violent Insurrection Attempt

One thing I’ve learned in my life is whenever someone knows they’re wrong, they will do anything and everything to tell you that you’re the one who’s wrong. I was working at a job during the summer of 1994 where one of the managers of K-Mart whose idea of being a supervisor was to yellContinue reading “The Gaslighting Of A Violent Insurrection Attempt”

‘Girl From Plainville’ Stretches TV Movie Premise Very Thin Into Overlong Limited Series

Warning: This post contains references to a true-case about suicide. Once upon a time, there was a thing called a miniseries. Usually, these TV programs would air two hours in prime time over two, three or four nights. Sometimes, they were bold enough to go longer than that. But usually that was when the storyContinue reading “‘Girl From Plainville’ Stretches TV Movie Premise Very Thin Into Overlong Limited Series”

‘Stranger Things’ Fourth Season Worth The Long Wait

Warning: This post contains spoilers At first glance whenen it premiered on Netflix in 2016, Stranger Things looked a lot like Super 8, that awful overrated Steven Spielbergian fan fiction movie from J.J. Abrams that should’ve been easily called Close Encounters of the Goonies Kind. I’m not saying that the movie was one of theContinue reading “‘Stranger Things’ Fourth Season Worth The Long Wait”

Romanticizing The Police Has Led To Expectations They Can’t (And Don’t Want To) Uphold

WARNING: This post does contain some references to sexual assault, domestic abuse and child abuse cases!! In the past eight days as the events of the massacre at Uvalde Robb Elementary School become more clearer, a lot of people are still wrecking their brains over why the Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde School DistrictContinue reading “Romanticizing The Police Has Led To Expectations They Can’t (And Don’t Want To) Uphold”

‘Obi-Wan’ Has The High Ground

With all due respect to Sir Alec Guinness, but I prefer Ewan McGregor’s performance more as Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Guinness in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope played Kenobi as an old, wise man who was smart enough to know when to fight and when to do “other alternatives. “But in The EmpireContinue reading “‘Obi-Wan’ Has The High Ground”

It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously

I know that it’s gotten to a point where every month, every week, every day it seems is Something Something Day, Week or Month. But since it is Memorial Day today and May is Mental Health Awareness Month, both of them seem to go hand and hand. Ask yourself. How many people buried at ArlingtonContinue reading “It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously”

‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism

Peacock’s Angelyne limited series spends about four hours telling you what you can easily find out in four minutes of a Wikipedia search. Hollywood is a very incestuous industry and I’m sure after hearing Netflix was doing a limited series about Anna Delvey; Hulu was doing a limited series about Elizabeth Holmes and Candy Montgomery,Continue reading “‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism”

‘Keepers Of The Ashes’ Spotlights A Dark Time In The Heartland

Keepers of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders, couldn’t have been released at a worse time. The four-part docuseries dropped on Hulu on Tuesday, May 24, the same day 19 kids were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Not a lot of people probably wanted to sit through four hours of aContinue reading “‘Keepers Of The Ashes’ Spotlights A Dark Time In The Heartland”
