Independent filmmaking is an important part of American cinema. Films that aren’t tied to massive budgets or governed by large studios tend to be more free to take risks and explore new possibilities of stories and their telling.
October Faction Is Not What It Should Be While the marketing for October Faction may have said it’s like The Umbrella Academy, they neglected to say that it’s like the worst parts of The Umbrella Academy. And, in fact, it’s this issue with the show that’s indicative of a problem I’m having with modern television,…
Can Anime Episodes Just Get On With It? This is probably going to earn me the ire of the Otakus out there, but here’s my hot take on television anime: it’s kind of boring. And, sure, there’s a lot of trash out there regardless, but I mean the general pacing of anime is infuriating in…

It’s watchable, it’s fun—sometimes—and the score is at least amazing, even if “play peppy song while action or violence happens” is a per-episode gimmick in the first three.

There’s so much talk about the clones because they’re the stars of the show, but not nearly enough about the people…
No More Dirk Gently Opened My Eyes You can imagine my distress when I learned that Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency was already canceled before I began watching it. Sure, you might not have seen this specific show, but I bet you know the pain of getting into something never finished. Now, before we begin,…
While movies and shows keep getting better, Youtube is a medium in itself. A vast, huge, sometimes hard-to-navigate wilderness of the strange and wonderful. And, in traveling through it, I don’t want you to waste your time with anything but the BEST. So, in no particular order, mostly unranked, and with subcategories, I present the first…
