The OA Season Two Coming Soon!
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.

Not-So-Bright Mistake?
I just finished watching Bright on Netflix, and it was okay (review forthcoming) though a few minutes prior I noticed an email from studioADI (the guys who supposedly–a word I use because I wasn’t there, and have no idea of what went on one way or the other–did a lot of the practical effects on the […]
Where Marvel’s Iron Fist Went Wrong, And How To Set It Right
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 – Review
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 […]
Welcome To Millarworld?
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 […]
This November, Marvel and Netflix Unleash The Punisher
Marvel’s The Punisher will premiere November 17, which we didn’t learn during Marvel Television’s presentation at the 2017 New York Comic-Con because if never actually happened. The panel for the latest Marvel Television/Netflix co-production was cancelled out of respect for those who were killed in Las Vegas (which makes sense considering the Punisher is particularly […]
Marvel’s The Punisher – Teaser Trailer
There have been three movie incarnations of The Punisher since he was created by Gerry Conway and John Romita Sr. in 1974, and while a popular character in comics, his movies never quite seemed to connect with audiences. The first movie was in 1978, with Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle/The Punisher. It was okay, though […]
Bright – Official Trailer
David Ayer’s Bright is the ‘fast-talking cop teams up with Orc’ movie we didn’t know we needed. Watching the trailer I’m shocked at how long it feels (I haven’t seen the movie, yet it feels like I already have). I also get the impression that the movie is treating orcs as Ordinary People, except for […]
The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance – Teaser Trailer
Wow, can’t say that this didn’t surprise me. Jim Henson’s 1982 fantasy The Dark Crystal was always sort of an odd duck. Too creepy for younger viewers, too ‘YA’ for older audiences, I get the feeling that it never quite connected with its intended audience. So 35 years later, there’s the sequel, The Dark Crystal: Age […]
Marvel’s The Defenders – Official Trailer
‘You look like an idiot,’ said Jessica Jones, as she and Matt Murdock walked down the immaculately white hallway, their very gait daring anyone to get in their way. Murdock, a devil without a costume; wore a grey cloth around the upper half of his face, responded tersely. ‘Your scarf.’ I had little doubt in […]
