Maybe you’re like me and you intended to watch Always Be My Maybe with your significant other but you just never got around to it.

Netflix’s Unorthodox – A Few Thoughts
Have you heard of Netflix’s Unorthodox? I hand’t, either. One of my wife’s friends recommended it to her. Even though it didn’t look like my thing at all, I decided to give it a try with her. Let me tell you, this show is captivating. At just four episodes averaging about fifty minutes apiece, Unorthodox…

Netflix’s Extraction – A Movie Review
If you’re thinking of watching Netflix’s new movie, Extraction, get ready for a wild, entertaining, and ultimately meaningless ride.

Picard – A Few Thoughts

Author Jonathan Hickman continues to captivate with his East of West series from Image Comics. In this word, our idea of the United States has been divided up into many factions, and they all await the end of the world. The Four Horseman roam freely, and it’s only a matter of time. East of West…

Mute – A Movie Review
Mute is a sequel of sorts to Moon, which you may remember I enjoyed quite a bit. Ducan Jones wrote and directed both, so it makes sense that they exist in a shared reality. I have to admit that I did not enjoy Mute nearly as much as Moon. Mute has a run-time of two…

Knives Out – A Movie Review
I saw this quite a while ago but never got around to reviewing it. However, now that I see it is available on demand, and because quite a few of us have a lot of extra time on our hands, I thought I’d share my thoughts. First of all, if you’re looking for a compelling…

Amazon’s The Boys – A Few Thoughts
I’ve been meaning to write about this crazy show for a long, long time because I actually watched it last summer. However, it says something that even after all of these months, it still stands out as one of the best series I’ve seen in quite a while. Based on a comic book, The Boys…
