A Retrospective Of 2022’s Best & Worst (Part 2)
Now it’s time for the negativity. The stuff I least enjoyed reviewing. I’ve sandwiched this part between two positive articles, so we don’t end this retrospective on a low note.

A Retrospective Of 2022’s Best & Worst (Part 1)
I’ve written many articles this year and reviewed piles of movies, tons of shows, and even a few books. And while a lot of media flees my memory once I’m done reviewing it, a few things were so good and memorable that they’ve stuck with me throughout the year. And in the same vein, some media pieces were so disappointing that I still wish for a better version.
Christmas Fiction: The Call Across
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, everyone!
Friday Fiction: Prescient Present Provider (Part 2)
The strangest part about knowing the future might not be the events that will happen but seeing the windup to them. How we lay the foundation for our own lives with distinct choices, some obvious, some seemingly insignificant.
It Came From The Archives “Klaus: Instant Christmas Classic”
Klaus is a heartwarming, magical, wonderful film that does what the best Disney and Pixar movies manage and is instantly a classic.
Artifact Storm Is A Seriously Strong Brawl Deck
You may have heard of CEDH before. It’s a way of playing Commander where you focus on ruthlessly winning the game as fast as possible. But, for those who play Arena, only one option comes close to either version of Commander: Brawl.
Friday Fiction: Prescient Present Provider (Part 1)
It’s safe to say that the holiday season is in full swing now. And, for those who buy presents for their holiday(s), it can be (or already has been) stressful.
Trailer Review: Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse
When you watch as many things as I do and go out of your way to analyze them, you find a lot of flaws. Even stuff people normally like have landed with a flat nothing for me. Maybe I’m jaded or simply know too much about plot structure. But the upside is when I find something transcendentally good, the experience is all the better. Sometimes, it can make my entire week.
Wednesday: Funny, Dark, And Flawed
Wednesday is such an odd project conceptually. If you told me a few years ago that Tim Burton would direct a new show about The Addams Family that starred Wednesday in a paranormal high school and barely featured Morticia and Gomez—at least in its first three episodes—I would’ve called it a blatant nostalgia grab.
Friday Fiction: The History Beneath The Snow
Dear reader, not every story this month is full of cheer and merriment. For one week, we shall let Brandon Scott explore a dark and terrifying future.
Hamster & Gretel: Irreverent Superhero Fun
Hamster & Gretel hit my radar for one reason: it was made by Dan Povenmire. You likely know his voice and creations, even if you don’t know his name. He’s part of the team that made Phineas and Ferb, and he voices Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
It Came From The Archives “The Mitchells vs the Machines: A Spectacular Masterpiece”
This interconnectivity, this familiar exploration, would have been enough to carry a movie. But The Mitchells vs the Machines still has two more things to cover.
