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.

Mickey Saves Christmas: Basic But Stylish
It’s one day before December, but everyone who celebrates it already knows it’s Christmas time. There’s no escaping, and there’s no point in delaying it. So, we’re looking at Mickey Saves Christmas, a short special that disappointed me for reasons entirely my fault.
It Came From The Archives “Candace Against The Universe: Absolutely Delightful Comedy”
It is well-established that Phineas and Ferb is amazing and worthy of a lot of praise. And, with great enthusiasm, I say Candace Against the Universe is more of the same.
Wendell & Wild: A New Spooky Classic
Wendell & Wild, out the gate, was something I knew I would review. A Henry Selick involved, stop-motion, punk-music soundtrack-ed, children’s horror movie co-written by Jordan Peele—are you kidding me with this? It’s no secret that Coraline is one of my favorite movies, and it’s widely known how much I like horror and macabre stuff.
Lightyear: A Flawed And Nostalgic Space Trip
Lightyear is a movie I didn’t want. I count on Pixar to do new things, and in my mind, Toy Story ended with its third installment, and there shouldn’t be more of it. And no, I haven’t seen the fourth one. But now that I’ve watched Lightyear, I shouldn’t have doubted Pixar as much as I did.
Tales of the Jedi: Short-Form Excellence
Tales of the Jedi is the newest addition to what I’m calling “The Clone Wars Cartoons.” The subsection of Star Wars content using the same animation style, (usually) short-form pacing, and politically dense writing. My experience with it has mostly been reviewing The Bad Batch and some early viewing of the Clone Wars cartoon and its long-ago movie.
Growing Fangs: A Wholesome Monster Comedy
Growing Fangs Is Several Allegories In One Efficient Movie Growing Fangs is a cute little special I stumbled upon in my search for Halloween media. It’s the story of a person who’s part vampire, part human, and Mexican American. From quick interviews I’ve read/listened to on the short, it’s a personal story about belonging explored…
Werewolf by Night: Not The Movie You Wanted
Werewolf by Night is a fun, campy Marvel show that disappointed me because of its marketing and presentation. If you wanted to see a horror movie done in the Marvel universe with a Deadpool level of R-rated gore, then you’re in for an unpleasant surprise.
The Midnight Club: An Excellent Series Of Stories
The Midnight Club is a show of many layers. It’s a celebration of horror stories featuring horror stories happening within a bigger horror story.
Muppets Haunted Mansion: Mostly Spooky Fun
Muppets Haunted Mansion is an obvious crossover. With Disney owning the rights to the characters, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
There’s Someone Inside Your House: A Complicated Viewing Experience
There’s Someone Inside Your House initially got my attention because of that title. It’s almost hilariously blunt. The most standard slasher scenario reduced to a single sentence.
Nightbooks: Actually Scary Children’s Horror
Nightbooks has a killer premise. It’s a modernized take on the Hansel and Gretel story that retains its disturbing and nightmarish aspects. It once again highlights how you can do stories for younger audiences that still maintain fear.
