The House: Unsettling And Confusing
The House is an interpretive art piece. The creators had a point to make, and a message to send—but I’ve yet to figure out what that message was.

The Wheel of Time: Mostly Underwhelming
Watching The Wheel of Time is a real-time game of deciding whether the show will do something cool, or rote and overplayed.
The Hollow Places: Breezy Lovecraftian Horror
I’d not read anything by T. Kingfisher before this novel, but given the grace of the prose, The Hollow Places will not be the last. She’s shown her sureness within both this subgenre and in the art of simply telling a good story.
Circle: An Unfocused Death Game Movie
To call Circle an intense film is to undersell it. Utilizing almost only a single location, this death game story touches upon politics, human nature, mercy, and bigotry. It uses a very simple premise and plays it straight and is one of the best-paced films I’ve seen in a long time.
Harrow Lake: A Metaphor That Looks Like A Horror Novel
Calling Harrow Lake a disappointment is perhaps too strong a phrase, but the book does fail to deliver in a few key aspects. There was a missing ingredient, a piece withheld, that made it appear mismanaged.
Horrid Review: The Horrors Of Extreme Feelings
Horrid is a book about emotions more than anything else. Its plot, its ending, its momentum are all in service of getting across big emotional moments.
Why I Didn’t Watch Trese Episode 2
Trese has an awful first episode. It’s such an underwhelming piece of animated storytelling in almost every regard. I’m probably not even going to watch three episodes for a full review.
The Ghost And Molly McGee First Impression: An Absolute Delight
For better and not for the worst, The Ghost and Molly McGee is basically what you’d expect it to be. The first episode—which is all I’ve seen of it—is in the standard style of episodic comedy. But that’s not a complaint.
Spider-Man: Far From Home: As Good As It Should Be
Finally, I got to see Spider-Man: Far from Home after nearly two years. It had been a missing piece in my viewing of the MCU—and I’d been really wanting to see it that entire time.
The Owl House Season 2 Is Kind Of Perfect
My biases for Owl House on the table: I was so excited about everything I’d heard coming out of the show that I’d seen so many spoilers before I sat down to review the first three episodes of the second season.
Monsters at Work: Monstrously Disappointing
It’s a delight to hear Billy Crystal reprise his role. However, we must look past that nostalgia and see it as a new show. And, in that regard, it’s a letdown
Loki: Absolutely Fantastic Television
This review of Loki might be shorter than a usual show review. During my initial impressions (if I may have this ego trip), I was spot on with how the series would feel. But what I’d failed to guess was how far they would take this premise.
