I Am Groot: I Am Groot (The Show Is Pretty Great)
Considering the number of cutesy series on Disney+, I’m astonished it took this long for Baby Groot to get his own.

The Sandman: A Brutally Dark Fairy Tale
As I’m sure is true of many of its viewers, I’ve not read The Sandman comics. The series finished before I was born, so I hope it’s at least a little forgivable. I watched the show because I love Coraline and deeply enjoyed Good Omens and American Gods. Neil Gaiman tends to make stuff I like, and the trailers looked fantastic.
New Sci-Fi Flicks You’ll Want To See
Here are a few trailers for sci-fi films now streaming or coming soon that you’ll want to put on your Watch List.
Chibi Tiny Tales: A Cute Distraction
The most noteworthy thing about Chibi Tiny Tales is that something like it exists. “Chibi” is a term from Japan referring to an animation style of large-headed, overly expressive characters.
Ms. Marvel: A Delightful Suprise
Ms. Marvel is blissfully not part of the Marvel slush. It’s not rote or the same story again. Though dealing with a teenager coming of age, it’s not simply Spider-Man with a different protagonist. Instead—within the first three episodes—it becomes a family drama with the superhero aspects simply elevating the emotions.
Everything Everywhere All at Once: Beyond Amazing And Beyond Incredible
Everything Everywhere All at Once is a masterpiece. A culmination of increasingly popular science fiction topics, well-trodden philosophy, absurdist humor, and incredible fight choreography.
It Came From The Archives “Rules for Vanishing: Not The Novel You’d Expect”
Rules for Vanishing is such a different book from anything we’ve reviewed on the site in a long time. It’s a dark medley of The Wizard of Oz, Lovecraftian Horror, and The Blair Witch Project.
The House with a Clock In Its Walls: Ticks Away Towards Bad
The House with a Clock in Its Walls delighted at first but steadily worsened. The endless brownie points earned spent themselves too fast and left a husk of a film.
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.
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.
