An unexpected winner here. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness The second Doctor Strange installment features some really incredible effects and some conceptually and visually inventive gags courtesy of Sam Raimi. He’s really winking at his Evil Dead trilogy – not only with all da zombies but with his wonderfully effective implementation of someContinue reading “2022 TV & Movie Reviews: Doctor Strange 2 / Heartstopper / Russian Doll”

One clear winner here. Ozark (Season Four, Part Two) Ozark was never a great show, everything it tackled with upper-middle-class white Americans choosing to get mixed up with crime and eventually being forced to confront their conscience was done infinitely better in Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and a few others. However, at its best, OzarkContinue reading “2022 TV Reviews: Ozark / Pachinko / Tokyo Vice”

Everything was just shy of ‘great’ this week. RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 14 For a season where every ten seconds or so, contestants are verbally reminding you of how amazing this season is and how amazing they all are, individually, the latest offering of Drag Race Proper is a bit of a letdown. Featuring someContinue reading “2022 Movie & TV Reviews: RuPaul’s Drag Race / The Northman / The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”

**WARNING: This article has many spoilers. Only for people who have watched the show or aren’t planning on watching it.

Everything Everywhere All at Once It feels almost dumb to be reviewing this now as word of mouth is already so strong for the Daniels‘ follow-up to their Harry Potter farting corpse movie that I think everyone is going to see it anyway. However, I want to articulate what I loved so much about thisContinue reading “2022 Movie & TV Reviews: Everything Everywhere All at Once / Memoria / Severance”

This quintessential American genre, the Western, is something of my blind spot in my movie knowledge. As a child, the life of a cowboy never really appealed to me, I was much more into cynical crime dramas and cheesy 80s horror cinema, widely known especially in the UK as the Video Nasties. I remember tryingContinue reading “50 Best Westerns of All Time”

The Oscars are this Sunday and between some really weak, and to be honest, “safe” nominations and the whole Most Popular Movie Oscar in lieu of broadcasting important awards like “Best Film Editing” and “Best Original Score”, I decided to do my own thing. It’s the 2nd Annual Golden Shrimp Awards! Best Supporting Actor BradleyContinue reading “2nd Annual Golden Shrimp Awards”

Hello, I am Michael Margetis and I am a certified Fred-a-holic. I guess it started when I was seven and visiting my sister in Tampa, Florida. She let me rent A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, arguably the worst of the franchise, but the only Freddy Krueger movie that Blockbuster in Tampa,Continue reading “FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES Episode Reviews w/ Audrey Farnsworth”

I almost didn’t write this review because while it’s only been a week since I saw the billionaire caped crusader’s latest outing, I’m already sick of talking about it. Audiences seem to be pretty split on their assessment of it, with the majority seeming to lean more into loving it than hating it. I didContinue reading “The Batman Review”

Whenever Ben V. wants to do an article, I know it’s going to be 2-8 nights spent watching the most painfully terrible dog shit imaginable. When we first got together, we tackled the Leprechaun series for Saint Patrick’s Day 2021 and last September, we sunk down to the lowest conceivable level with the Joey King-ledContinue reading “GARBAGE DOUBLE FEATURE: Tall Girl 1 & 2 w/ Ben V”
