Doctor Who “Thin Ice” – Review

Well, everyone loves racism and dead kids in their Doctor Who, at least Chibnall does. It is either that or dead gays (happy Pride!). I didn’t like Sarah Dollard’s “Face the Raven” for any of the reasons she was involved. Sadly, I mostly…

Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe Review

If there was ever a product of its time, it would be Beavis and Butthead. The comedy duo from the mind of Mike Judge (later responsible for King of the Hill, Office Space, and Idiocracy) predated South Park and had more crass laughs than The Simpsons could attempt. Not…

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) Review

Star Wars is a franchise that gives me a lot of hesitation due to how varied the quality is throughout all the works. After two seasons of The Mandalorian I had good faith in their live-action series, but The Book of Boba…

Doctor Who “Smile” – Review

“Emoji. It speaks emoji,” no really, tell me how this series is great, youthful, and not predominantly written by white men who are now at least over 40 years old. Frank Cottrell-Boyce and I don’t get along for several reasons. Mostly due…

Doctor Who “The Pilot” – Review

Doctor Who “The Return of Doctor Mysterio” – Review

Funny story, well, it’s not really funny, but it is a story and one about Doctor Who. Yesterday when I was writing this week’s review, or rather while writing this review yesterday, a day ahead to keep up. Written tenses are a pain…

Doctor Who “The Husbands of River Song” – Review

Peter Capaldi, Alex Kingston, and Greg Davies? Is it Christmas? It was for “The Husbands of River Song” when I originally watched it. Of Peter’s few Christmas specials, it is the one that is near faultless. I’d give it a perfect 10…

Doctor Who “Hell Bent” – Review

The truth of “Hell Bent” is that there are a few moments that are fan service, and even my cold dead heart(s?) flutter into higher rhythms at them. The moment where Peter is sitting outside the shack, surrounded by the proles of…

Halo (Paramount+) Review

It’s always a mixed bag when a video game is adapted into a TV or film format. While something like a book adaptation has the benefit of showing all the elements a reader imagined in their head (visuals, sounds, etc.) along with…

Doctor Who “Heaven Sent” – Review

I think for the first time in several months now, I’m excited for Doctor Who again. Since the announcement of Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, I’ve done nothing but smile and feel happy about the future of Doctor Who. I was already heralding the return of…
