Smash and Grab: Absolutely Adorable
Smash and Grab is adorable, heartwarming, and incredible for how short it is. This is the second Pixar SparkShorts I’ve ever reviewed, and once again, the quality is evident. This is better than some whole-length movies.
Artificial Condition: The Same Level Of Good
Artificial Condition continues my internal war with how I feel about The Murderbot Diaries. Despite it being more technobabble than almost anything else, the story remains intriguing and engaging off the back of the main conceit: what if a rogue AI designed to kill wanted to be left alone to watch television?
Friday Fiction: No Dreadcrawlers Today
It’s been a little while since we’ve done a scary story, so I figure we’ll start with a horror comedy. Make it a little easier for the horror curious who are still a little squeamish.

Friday Fiction: Psychic Snowstorm
If you celebrate Christmas, but you’ve lived your whole life in a place that’s never gotten snow, you’ve probably wished for a white Christmas at least once.
Dawn of the Nugget: A Slap-Stick Dystopia
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is inescapably a nostalgia grab of a movie, relying on people like me and our fond memories of the original film.
