If you spend much time on social media, chances are you’ve seen any number of photos/videos/etc. of the “Nailed It!” trend — when someone tries to recreate a Pinterest recipe but doesn’t quite nail it. Netflix decided this would be the perfect basis for a new 30-minute series on their streaming service. Lemme first say […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] A Wrinkle in Time is not at all a bad film, in fact it’s pretty darned solid. But to put the film into context, it has to be understood who the film’s audience actually is. These days it’s far too common for the term Young Adult to really just mean any film with […]

The time has come for another classic The X-Files style belief vs skepticism episode, “Familiar”. If you missed last week’s tech-heavy yet minimalist episode, you can read about it here. In season 11’s 8th episode,  Mulder and Scully investigate the brutal animal attack of a little boy in Connecticut while suspecting darker forces are at […]

What you really want to know about Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time is if you should see it, right?  You most definitely should, because it’s a lovely film. It’s not going to be for everyone, but most films aren’t. Fans of the book will recognize many moments from the pages, and will perhaps enjoy it more than […]

Let’s talk about America’s Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 9, ‘Beauty Is Movement’. In the midst of movement and chaos, the remaining six contestants must master the art of motion on the ground and in a parachute. Also, if you missed it last week, you can catch up on what happened here. Don’t forget that […]

The 90th Annual Academy Awards ceremony has come and gone, the Oscars have been handed out, and thankfully host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t have to weather another EnvelopeGate storm. That said, on Monday morning it was widely reported that the ceremony had brought in the lowest Oscars ratings since the Nielsen ratings had been utilized. There’s a simple […]

Technically, this is actually the 6th season of MasterChef Junior, the US version of the British series Junior MasterChef. The cooking competition series also happens in a grown-up version, hence the ‘season 14’ in the title, which is how DirectTV subscribers will see the series numbered (like me). Ok, that cleared up- FOX really loves Gordon Ramsay, as […]

I will start off by saying if you didn’t like Man of Steel, you maybe possibly won’t have a good time with SyFy’s Krypton. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good enough show on its own, because it does have promise. Fans of the current CW slew of DC Comics based shows may find this one […]

No, that The X-Files season 11, episode 7 title ‘Rm9sbG93ZXjz’ probably isn’t captcha, even though it really looks like it. It’s been two weeks since our last episode of the FOX series, as the Olympics weren’t something the network (among others) didn’t want to compete with. This week promises to be something akin to Black Mirror, even […]

Season 36 of CBS’s Survivor titled “Ghost Island” premieres tonight, and (18 years strong) host Jeff Probst promises it’ll be a doozy of a season. This year’s big twisty turny theme of “Ghost Island” is a play on the ongoing Exile Island thing, where a voted-off tribe member is sent to an island. In a recent interview […]
