Moon Knight: Disorienting Fun
Going into Moon Knight, I had few expectations. I wasn’t familiar with the character. All I knew about them was that Moon Knight had more than one personality, and at least one of them had superpowers.

It Came From The Archives! “Album Review: Nostalgia for Infinity by Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate”
Looking back, this album is still really weird. Cool, but weird.
40+: Short, Clever, and Flawed
40+ is a novella with a powerful hook but is hampered by a few things, including how short it is. It would be easy to imagine it expanded into a larger novel, detailing both the world as it was and how the change affected it.
Fazbear Frights Review: Book #12: Felix the Shark
We’ve arrived at the final Fazbear Frights book. This digital-only (at least at the time of writing) novella ends our little odyssey into the series, with only the police bonus stuff to explore.
The Hollow: Mystery Over Cohesion
The Hollow is a decent enough show mired by gimmick issues. The biggest one is its reliance on the “Mystery Box” model.
The Dust Reviews, Volume 2
Too long ago, I announced a series where I would periodically review a few movies from the Dust YouTube channel. Well, it’s finally time to return. I’ve selected three short films. Each is different. Each is exciting. And each shows a wildly different future.
The Night Will Find Us: Slowly Keeps Improving
My initial interest in reading The Night Will Find Us was because it appeared to be a classic “friends camping” horror story with a heap of cosmic horror on top. And I got what I wanted. Those two things are a big part of the story.

Spider-Man: No Way Home: Powerful But Gimmicky
Spider-Man: No Way Home is the type of movie that could only exist in this new media environment. The draw is the spectacle of connecting reboots and pulling in actors to reprise long-gone roles.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife: Fifty-Percent Good
Ghostbusters: Afterlife has several excellent moments, a great protagonist, and a heartfelt core, yet is underwhelming in a lot of ways. Those who watch it will remember it mainly for its fan service, and though that’s kind of the point—it’s not great we have a lot of movies made with that in mind.
Turning Red: Pixar Succeeds Again
My reviewing of Turning Red has to, by the sheer presence of its theming, contain caveats. It’s a movie that has a heavy focus on periods and mother-daughter conflicts during adolescence. As an adult male reviewer, it’s not my place to speculate on how true to life this movie is. I’ve simply not grown up as a teenage girl.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Nostalgic, Thematically Overstuffed Horror
Given recent movie adaptation trends, Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark has a lot of comparisons. Even attempting to evaluate it outside of context is semi-impossible because of its similarities.
