“Twisted Metal” Review

A motor-mouthed outsider with no memory of his past is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck. The season of seconds, this is a bit better than the first season and is at it’s best when it leans hard on the supernatural. The shooting and explosions are terrible and...

After surviving Godzilla’s attack on San Francisco, Cate is shaken yet again by a shocking secret. Amid monstrous threats, she embarks on a globetrotting adventure to learn the truth about her family—and the mysterious organization known as Monarch.

“The Punisher: One Last Kill” Review

As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight. I feel like this was based off one of the more ambition comic book stories, but I’ve done no research and refuse to spend another second thinking about this waste of time. The comic maybe had a lady getting eaten by a polar bear at the end of the story arc? Maybe! This made for TV movie was lower quality that I though the MCU was aiming for, featuring bad fight scenes, bad cgi, and a story that bored me. Buy On Amazon!

“Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2 Review

Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course. A good season with some mediocre court room scenes and a rather silly ending that involved a completely unearned “V For Vendetta” style uprising that had me rolling with laughter at how ridiculous the entire thing was with a city dressing up like the devil of hell’s kitchen. What a silly turn of...

Unnatural, Vol. 1: Awakening TP

Her world is dominated by a totalitarian government that interferes in the personal lives of its citizens, punishing transgressors for so-called “unnatural” relationships. The comic is rated M for Mature, and for good reason, there’s plenty of nudity in each issue, enough to keep my attention at least. The story gets somewhat lost in the third act, but it ties everything up in a way that I felt satisfied by the ending. Buy On Amazon!

“The Old Man” Review

Dan Chase absconded from the CIA decades ago and now lives off the grid. When an assassin arrives and tries to take Chase out, the old operative learns that to ensure his future he now must reconcile his past. Season 2 is here and done and it’s as well made as it is frustrating. The story wraps up most of the dangling threads from season 1, but creates more dangling threads in the process with some goofy elements that would have felt more at home in a 80’s James Bond film than a serious modern spy thriller. Buy On Amazon!

“DTF St. Louis” Review

A love triangle among three adults experiencing middle-age malaise leads to one of them ending up dead. This is a really well written who-dunnit with some really fun fish out of water experiences for the male detective. Jason Batman and David Harbour have some real weird chemistry on screen that works in an awkward and novel way. Buy On Amazon!
