Friday Fiction: Just Stepped Out for A Moment
So many people live with roommates, and it can sometimes be hard to know what everyone is up to each day. Different people come and go as errands and life shuffle around schedules and plans.

Trailer Review: Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania
The thing about the Quantumania trailer isn’t that it’s not visually cool; it’s that it will probably be disappointing. I’ve repeatedly found with the Ant-Man movies that the concepts and potential visuals never pay off as well as they could.
Revisiting Kid Cosmic After The Big Finale
Almost two years ago to the day, I reviewed Kid Cosmic. I said I wasn’t planning on continuing the show. Well, apparently, I lied. While eating dinner one day, I pulled it up and basically binged.
Friday Fiction: Another Person In The Chasm
In the horror genre, there is a subsection sometimes called “weird horror.”
Strange World: An Adventure Story With Depth
Strange World wears its influences on its sleeve, and it informs a ton of the movie’s pacing, sense of adventure, and how it approaches danger in any scene. It’s based on old-school pulp comics, novels, and radio plays—even as someone who didn’t grow up with that being commonplace, it’s obvious.
It Came From The Archives “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: Buying An Apple In Hell
Sometimes, we have stories with titles that hint at the plot. It’ll give a vague understanding of what you might read.
This time, however, there’s no metaphor.
The School for Good and Evil: Almost Manages To Stick The Landing
The School for Good and Evil is a fun fantasy movie with a surprising amount of narrative depth while also being goofy, self-indulgent, and occasionally seriously questionable. I’ll spend some time ragging on it, mostly for its botched train wreck of an ending, but if you want an escapist movie full of fairy tale shenanigans, this has some promise. Read the whole review to see what I mean.
The Luminous Dead: A Polarizing Horror Descent
The Luminous Dead is perhaps one of the hardest reviews I’ve done in a long time. The nature of the work has clashed with my usual operations.
New Year’s Eve Fiction: The Librarian Writes Another
Hello, dear readers. It’s been a year, hasn’t it? So much has happened—some of it strange, some of it frightening, some of it joyous. A year is so long and so short. And New Year’s Eve is here already.
A Retrospective Of 2022’s Best & Worst (Part 3)
And we’re on to part three of the retrospective. The final part. We’re flipping the script back to positive and shifting topics slightly. It might be a little self-indulgent, but I can also review the media I’ve produced: Friday Fictions. If you’ve been mostly reading our reviews and haven’t gone over to that side of the site, here’s a quick dive into my (very subjective) list of which ones I think are the best.
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.
