I am just killing it with these year-old movies! Movies based on 152-year-old books. I'm honestly not sure why I wanted to se...
There has truly never been a TV series like Legion. A giant mind-fuck, acid trip of a show that seems to create the rules on a minute-by-minute basis. Completely unknowable...
Yes, I am the last person on Earth to see Parasite. And I've decided that's okay. It's almost a challenge these days to avoid spoilers. It's not just like the old days...
What's better than watching a semi-violent Dwayne Johnson movie with children when stuck home during a global pandemic? A movie loosely connected to a very successful...
This is what happens when you let the kids pick the movie. It's like letting the kids name the pets. That's why there are so many cats out there named Kitty and Fluffy...
I had heard a lot of noise about Unbelievable before dialing it up on the Netflix machine. Most of it talked about its unflinching look at sexual assault and praised it...
God only knows what possessed me to want to finish this Shymalan trilogy. I alone seemed to like Unbreakable back in the day. And then finally got around to seeing the...
This show, Marvel's Runaways, was not built for a man my age. That should be evident from the poster. And the name. And the fact it's a Marvel show. Even though there...

Ok, I've hit rock bottom. No, seriously, this is me pretty much giving up. Hipster Jr. Jr. didn't even have to lead me into the abyss. I asked her if she wanted to watch...
I recall someone saying that they should technically call this Divorce Story. Accurate. And then someone else I know asked why in the hell anyone would want to watch a...
Ms. Hipster read The Goldfinch some time ago. So did like half the planet. It seems, on the surface, like something I'd enjoy. But she and almost every review I read...
I always feel weird watching movies that star kids. In fact, at my advanced age, I feel strange watching films that star teenagers, college students, young adults and even...
Nobody needs to hear yet another Star Wars take. But here it is. This series has outlived its usefulness. The trilogy, as they've concepted it, has outlived its usefulness...
Is it creepy that I'm watching this movie? Maybe. Maybe not. I mean, it's not quite Losin' It or The Last American Virgin, but any time I — an adult male — watch...
