It Came From The Archives “Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon”
Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about.

Baymax! An Absolutely Delightful Little Show
Baymax! is formulaic, predictable, and utterly charming. It brings a smile with every single episode and feels like something special.
Friday Fiction: Take A Spin Around Earth
Ever taken a leisurely jaunt cycling around the neighborhood? How about the entire planet?
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: An Enjoyable Mess
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a movie that could only exist this deep in the Marvel phenomenon. It doesn’t flow or function like an actual movie—it heavily assumes you’ve seen so much media. It doesn’t give you time or an adequate explanation for half the stuff that happens.
Why Anthology Series Are So Often Loved
my positive reviews of media like The Magnus Archives, Black Mirror, and The Twilight Zone weren’t a clear indication, I have a particular fondness for anthology storytelling.
Friday Fiction: Rules For Living With Roof Beings
No matter the dimension, there’s paperwork. There’s bureaucracy. Sometimes it’s a necessary evil. Even weird magical things can have laws.
Black Tide: A Self-Contained Apocalypse
Black Tide was a different sort of book than I expected. The premise of a cosmic horror-style alien invasion was interesting by itself, but Black Tide marks the first “bottle episode” book I’ve ever read.
It Came From The Archives! “The Old Guard: A Near-Perfect Action Movie”
The Old Guard is perfect at what it wants to be. It’s an action movie with a tight fantastical premise and stellar execution. By chance, I saw a five-minute scene and was immediately hooked.
Friday Fiction: The Usual, Strange Order (Part 2 of 2)
Ah, you’ve returned. I see you’re a person of a refined palette—a spooky connoisseur.
The Tomorrow War: Secretly Not A War Movie
The Tomorrow War has a fantastic premise, talented actors, and stellar effects, yet it never comes together properly. The enthusiasm for its own appeal wanes, and it becomes a shell of a movie, running on formula and tropes.
What Does “Originality” Really Mean In Art?
If you read many of my reviews, you might’ve noticed I have a bias. I’ve spoken about it before: I like unique, wild, and weird. Stories going out of their way to be meta, mind-bending, or commentate on current events or societal ills have often gotten positive reviews from me.
Friday Fiction: The Usual, Strange Order (Part 1 of 2)
Today, we serve a slower horror—a two-part course about normal flaking away. It’s as delicious as it is dangerous. As uncanny as it is well-plated.
