Sure we've had forays with Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, but both of those - the former in particular - suffered by … Continue reading WandaVision (season 1)

What's this? A movie review?! Yeah, been a while đ No, I'm not back at my beloved cinema, but as lockdowns and closures drag on, some of the distributers seems to be back in the mood to release some bigger titles to the streaming market again, rather than waiting waiting waiting for reopenings. And to … Continue reading Coming 2 America (2021)
I have a very low tolerance for cheesy Christmas movies, and yet there's still room for something a bit festive. Would Godmothered be able to walk that tightrope? The Motherland, home to all fairy godmothers and those in training, isn't doing so well. There hasn't been an active godmothering in decades. Young Eleanor (Jillian Bell) is … Continue reading Godmothered (2020)

I absolutely adored Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) when I saw it as a young teen, and it made a lot more sense when I finally caught the equally fun Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) some time afterwards. The idea of a third movie, some 30 years later, was both intriguing and a bit … Continue reading Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)

In fact, there's as much if not more to love here đ … Continue reading The Umbrella Academy (season 2)

Adaptations of video games rarely go well, and even less so when the game itself didn't really have a plot to speak of. Still, I have fond memories of my Sonic-playing days, and if nothing else, the disastrous first attempt at a look for the blue speedster piqued my interest. So, in need of something … Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Being the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn đ Following the events of Suicide Squad (2016), 'Mr J' (Joker, but not the Joaquin Phoenix one!) and Harley Quinn have split up.
