House of Guinness
Reactions: Yeah, I dig it. There’d better be a second season // Review: I was vaguely aware of the existence of House of Guinness. I hadn’t decided if I was going to watch it until my mom texted me: “I started watching House of Guinness. I’m hooked! Omg! The character has a big d**k! Full…

Haunted Hotel
Reactions: Super cute, a fresh and fun take on ghosts Review:// I didn’t know what to expect when I first pressed play on this series. But I was quickly and pleasantly surprised. Here’s the gist: Katherine inherited a haunted hotel full of ghosts when her brother passed away. The twist is her brother is one…

Wednesday S2
Reactions: Just as cute as the first season // Review: If you enjoyed the first season of Wednesday, you’ll enjoy the second. Which is to say, it’s largely the same formula. Wednesday has to solve a mystery, which is wrapped inside another mystery, surrounded by a few other ancillary mysteries.

Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld
Reactions: Super cute! A fresh take on demon hunting // Review: I wasn’t really sure I wanted to give Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld a try, but I’m glad I did. The first episode took some getting used to, probably because I was expecting something more like KPop Demon Hunters. But this show if very…

KPop Demon Hunters
Reactions: Super fun! Now I get all the hype // Review: I’d heard all about this movie on Netflix that was taking the world by storm. #1 movie on Netflix. A song from the show that was topping the charts. I had no idea what to expect but I knew I had to watch it.…

Dead Boy Detectives
Reactions: Fucking adorable // Review: This was a rewatch for me because I love this show. I love how beautifully it weaves a story of best friends, strong magical women, old gods, an evil witch, a coming out story, young gay love, rejection, and more. And it ends with the group of friends being even…

Sandman S2
Reactions: Obsessed // Review: First, let me just state that the two seasons of The Sandman series are some of my favorite tv of all time. The tone, the mini-arcs, the struggle as an Endless grapples with evolving and his end, all of it. It all just works so much for me.

Dept. Q
Reactions: Obsessed. Hooked. Binged it. // Review: If you love true crime podcasts or cold case dramas, you’ll love Dept. Q. While it’s not inspired by a true crime, its story does unfold the way a true crime podcast would. It’s set in Edinbrugh, Scotland which gives it such a rich and unique tenor. And…

The Half of It
Reactions: Loved it, everyone was adorable // Review: I really thought I was pressing “play” on a background teeny-bopper rom-com when I sat down one night to watch The Half of It. I was so pleasantly surprised and happy to be wrong.
-
Pantheon
Reactions: So fucking cool, complex // Review: This is some super deep, complex, badass sci-fi. I love when an amazing sci-fi concept comes to life in animation because it is unfettered by things like visual effects budgets. Pantheon goes there. Then goes beyond. It’s amazing. But it’s also very complicated sci-fi, not for beginners.
-
Devil May Cry
Reactions: Hell yeah. Binge-worthy // Review: Netflix has been on a roll adapting video games to animated television shows. Notably: Arcane, Castlevania, Dota, Dragon Age, and Captain Laswerhawk. I loved Devil May Cry just as much as I loved these other titles too.
-
Trap
Reactions: Thrilling, edge of my seat // Review: There’s not a lot I can say about this movie without spoiling it. But here goes. Trap is exhilarating and it kept my heart pounding out of my chest for 1.5 hours.
-
Adolescence
Reactions: WHOA, Moving, Gripping // Review: The show starts a deep, difficult conversation about teen boys in crisis. The Andrew Tate “manosphere” directly and indirectly plays a prominent role in the motivation of Jamie, the main character, who has been accused of a heinous crime. There are parts of the four episodes that are incredibly…
-
The Electric State
Reactions: Snore, Whatever, Cute robots // Review: My reaction is about the same as everyone else reviewing this on the internet: Snooze fest. I did like the robots. They were cute and fun, and their CGI was cool. That’s it. That’s the one reason to watch this movie.
-
Bridgerton
Reactions: Obsessed, Romantic, Swoon // Review: I have to acknowledge that Bridgerton is a sappy romance drama. I’ve never read or even seen the books, but I have to imaging they’d sit alongside the other romance novels at the supermarket and appeal to the same audience. But. The show is adorable. It’s sexy. It’s surprisingly…
-
Kneecap
Reactions: Fuck yes. Watch this movie! // Review: I had no idea what to expect when I started Kneecap. But it turned out to be, to my surprise and delight, a foreign language film. Most of the film is in Irish which was so freaking cool to me. The story revolves around a rap duo…
-
Emelia Pérez
Reactions: Dazzling, Bold, Groundbreaking // Review: I knew almost nothing about Emelia Pérez before watching it, except that it was a musical. I’m not always a huge fan of musicals, but I decided to give it a go. And I’m so glad I did. I have to start by saying how much I loved Zoe…
-
Castlevania Nocturne S2
Reactions: Vampires and demons, OH MY! // Review: Overall, YES. Just yes yes yes. I loved this season so much. I loved the original series. I liked season 1 of Nocturne. And I loved season 2. Two badass powerful women on the good side, two badass powerful demon women. And more Alucard. And Richter is…
-
Back in Action
Reactions: Fun, Action-packed // Review: This won’t be one of my lengthier reviews. Not because I didn’t love this movie – I did! Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx lead this fun, family-friendly spy movie. It’s just under two hours of good-hearted fun. It’s about two former spies who left the secret agent life to raise…

One Hundred Years of Solitude
Reactions: Captivated, Fascinated, Pure wonderment // Review: The novel and show follow the story of the Buendía family, starting with José Arcadio and his wife Úrsula, cousins forbidden to marry who leave their village and wander in the jungle for years before founding the town of Macondo. We watch decades pass, Macondo grows, and the…
