Friday Fiction: The Night of Dreamers and Dreams (Part 1)
The night offers and takes so much. It’s a place where the curious, the dangerous, and the inexplicable might be found.
It Came From The Archives! “How To Play Magic: The Gathering Arena On A Budget”
Many people are unhappy with Arena’s economy. I don’t have a formed opinion about it. But I want people to play the decks they like, so here’s some advice to at least help.
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.
Friday Fiction: Too Intriguing Not To Look
Curiosity is perhaps one of the strongest human traits. Deep in our bones, it sits, demanding we know more about everything.
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.

Wilder Girls: A Strong Story Lacking Something
Wilder Girls is missing several things. The book has a lot of truly impressive aspects to it, and a heck of a hook—but doesn’t play with its toys nearly enough.
The Adam Project: Tropey and Deeply Emotional
I will not say The Adam Project is a unique movie. Barring a few moments of extreme narrative creativity, it’s got all the tropes you’d expect and runs through them with a blistering pace.
Friday Fiction: The Dark Beach Horizon (Part 2)
The strangest of events can interrupt a pleasant night. In part two, our unnamed beachgoer finds their calm turning ever more surreal.
It Came From The Archives! “Upload: Excellent Science Fiction, Satire, and Romance”
(With season two already out, I figured it was as good a time as any to bring back my original review of this complex and clever series. If you’ve not caught up, this might convince you.) Originally Published: June 8th, 2020 Upload Is Some Excellent Science Fiction Upload was on my watch list for months before…
