Netflix series The Toys That Made Us is back with a second season consisting of four episodes about some of our favorite collectables and their history. Season 1 told the tale of Star Wars, He-Man, Barbie, and G.I. Joe while reminding viewers what it is about possessing these items that impacts us emotionally. Season 2 just hit the […]

The 6th and final season of FX’s Cold War era spy drama series The Americans continues with episode 9, “Jennings, Elizabeth”. This is the second to last episode we’ll ever get of the show, and I’m so torn between saying goodbye and the relief of finality. Last week, Elizabeth (Keri Russell) discovered just how far Philip […]

We keep saying it but Legion remains a high point of episodic television.  It’s trippy, very psychedelic, and strangely addictive. The story of mutants and mental powers being told in the rich visceral era the original Chris Claremont X-Men stories were placed in was a genius move, and one that sets the show apart on FX from any of […]

STARZ doesn’t get enough credit for their series, but I personally think Sweetbitter might change that.  While only half-hour episodes, the series has tremendous promise. True, it’s right up my personal alley — as someone who has a love affair with the culinary world, Sweetbitter is exactly the type of show that caters to me. This […]

HBO’s highly acclaimed series Westworld is back, season 2 continuing in earnest last week with episode 4, “Riddle of the Sphinx”. The wait has been long for fans of the show, the ending of season 1 leaving most viewers with more questions than answers. The premiere, following in the same first-season footpaths, did similar, leaving the […]

This is a really hard review to write spoiler free. There are SO MANY deep cut Star Wars things in Solo: A Star Wars Story, I was shocked. If you were a fan of the EU (Expanded Universe), you will be incredibly surprised and more than likely delighted. As anti this film as you’ve been (I was […]

If we’re going to be completely honest, the question of “is Deadpool 2 as good as the first one was” is an unfair comparison. When Ryan Reynolds first took to the screen back in early 2016, it was expected to be fun and irreverent and fourth-wall-breaking, but what we got was such a fresh take […]

The 6th and final season of FX’s Cold War era spy drama series The Americans continues with episode 8, “The Summit”. Last week, Elizabeth (Keri Russell) dealt with the fallout of her Chicago mission, and Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) made his position on several things in their lives (both on mission and at home) quite clear, […]
