When I heard that Netflix was releasing a new horror movie I went a little psycho (in the best possible way). Then I learned it was called Ghoul I dared to think that maybe something wicked this way would come and touch me with some horror movie goodness. Then I learned it was Indian–not Native […]
Yesterday Netflix released a trailer for the second season of Luke Cage, one of the four series from Marvel Television and it looks…okay. Cage seems to have accepted a degree of notoriety in his life–which truth be told is unavoidable when you take into account everyone is running around with technology that makes them their […]
For those of you have seen Season Two of Netflix’s Jessica Jones you might have wondered the same thing I did, namely was it the last for Marvel’s acerbic, misanthropic super-powered detective as it tied up a lot of loose ends introduced in Season One. Apparently, my fears–while not groundless–have proven to be unfounded as […]
Netflix has been making a lot of movies, but their output is extremely uneven, to put it kindly. For every Gerald’s Game or Okja they seem to double-down on the terrible, with movies like The Babysitter or just about anything featuring Adam Sandler. And Game Over, Man! fits firmly in the latter category. As far as […]
While I don’t think that it’s disputable that Marvel on Netflix has upped the ante on superheroes on television immensely that’s not for a moment to imply that there aren’t problems. The biggest of which (in my eyes) is that no matter the series–Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage–they never seem to quite […]
Lost In Space–a series originally created by Irwin Allen–ran from 1965 to 1968 and apparently has more lives than a cat. I grew up watching it, though truth be told that was more due to there not being much else available in sci-fi at the time. Clearly low budget–though not as low as British series […]
This is not new news–unless you were unaware of it, then it is–but Netflix’s The OA was renewed for a second season a few months ago. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can’t wait.
With a new season of Marvel’s Iron Fist currently shooting, I’ve started to speculate where it was that the first season went wrong. 1. Iron Fist Was Guest-Starring In His Own Story The Rand Corporation (as well as his siblings) are important to Danny Rand/Iron Fist’s narrative, but the series often felt like Rand was a […]
Gerald’s Game, currently on Netflix is a remarkable bit of television because it understands that horror is more than things that go ‘bump’ in the night, but is also a way of working through the most evil of demons, namely those that haunt us in our everyday, waking lives. And imagine to my surprise to […]
I thought the benefit of Netflix buying Millarworld (the publisher of comics like Kick-Ass and The Golden Circle) was to provide competition to Marvel and DC (especially when you consider that Disney is starting their own streaming service sometime in 2019 and taking their content–Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and Pixar–with them. According to Vulture, Netflix is planning to […]
