I dismissed Lockwood & Co. during my first exposure to it. A random segment of the show I walked past didn’t impress me. But now, having seen the first three episodes, I must admit how wrong I was. This is not only one of the best recent paranormal thrillers/horror urban fantasies, but it’s a good show in any context.
I try my best to avoid spoilers or discourse about a piece of media before I review it. But I already know that I’m the odd one out. Because I have no particularly strong issues with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania—and the internet seems to have quite a simmering hatred.
Traveling across space is always dangerous. Space is an extremely hostile environment, and that’s before you account for how technology can fail in it.
I’m late to the party to review Thor: Love and Thunder. So late that I’ve been spoiled somewhat by consensus. Going in, I knew people didn’t like the goats and that the comedy was apparently overbearing.
The most impressive thing about Solitary is how few resources were used to make it. It’s microbudget, finished remotely due to the pandemic, and still a good film.
It’s a new week, and the conclusion is here.
Finally, we get a clue about the fantasy world you don’t want to visit.
The Girls Are Never Gone is an interesting blend of concepts attached to a traditional ghost story. From The Twisted Ones to Horrid to even aspects of Harrow Lake, I already knew this story’s bones.
Are you ready for the AI revolution? No, of course not. But don’t worry, it’s not like they’re going to take over the world… yet. In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the latest and greatest AI applications around, and see how they’re making our lives easier (or at least, more interesting).
Well, we’re a little late with this one. But we promised a tale of a fantasy world you don’t want to visit, and now we’ve got it.
When you become a diehard fan of a type of media or genre (really any of them), you notice patterns. I’ve spoken before about storytelling patterns in the wider construct of narratives, but what I mean this time is tropes.
I wish I had more nice things to say about The Twisted Ones. Given how impressed I was with The Hollow Places, I expected another creative cosmic horror with a breezy pace. And while I will ultimately have several nice things to say about the book, it’s a step down in quality.
It’s been a long journey getting here. We’ve looked at a lot of Phyrexia cards and seen a few themes and a few potential decks. Now, we round things out by looking at the artifacts and lands.
