After a laborious wait and questionable release date timing post-Halloween, Tim Burton’s vision of Wednesday has finally arrived in all its creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky glory. Has there been more note-perfect recent casting than Jenna Ortega (Babysitter: Killer Queen, Scream, X) as Wednesday Addams? Previously played in live action by Lisa Loring in 1964’s … Continue reading TV Review: Wednesday
TV Review: Manifest – Season 4, Part 1
After what seems a laboriously long wait between seasons, sci-fi mystery/drama series Manifest returns at long last for the first stretch of its final season! Miraculously revived by Netflix in the aftermath of being cancelled at NBC after three seasons, I have to say that it was certainly well worth the wait. We follow the … Continue reading TV Review: Manifest – Season 4, Part 1
TV Review: Big Mouth – Season 6
America’s favorite extra-raunchy animated series is back with a vengeance in season six of Big Mouth! I, for one, consider this to be Netflix’s second-best animated outing, after the masterful Bojack Horseman. Unlike that show, Big Mouth does not give an iota of care to its big dramatic scenes; this series has always leaned heavily … Continue reading TV Review: Big Mouth – Season 6
TV Review: I Love You, You Hate Me
Were you even a child of the 90s without an unhealthy obsession of big purple lovable dinosaur, Barney? Personally, I remember being infatuated, owning everything from Barney underwear to Barney tents, and of course Barney & Friends stuffed animals. Even now, just thinking of the show puts a nostalgic smile on my face. Peacock’s new … Continue reading TV Review: I Love You, You Hate Me
TV Review: The Midnight Club
While author Christopher Pike never quite reached the level of Stephen King or R.L. Stine for me personally, there is no denying his young adult brand of horror novels made an imprint on a generation of genre-loving teens. I remember reading Pike’s signature 1994 novel The Midnight Club for the first time when I was … Continue reading TV Review: The Midnight Club
TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror
Having seen only the first two episodes of Shudder’s excellent queer horror doc, aptly titled Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror, I can safely say that I am obsessed with the direction and interviews from gay creative (and absolute legend) Bryan Fuller. We dive all the way back to the literary origins, laser-focused … Continue reading TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror
TV Review: Chucky – Season 2
The first season of Don Mancini’s magnum opus, aptly titled Chucky, stands tall as one of the best transitions from film to television that I have ever seen. Seamlessly, the show combined old with new, staying true to decades of established mythology throughout the seven mainline Chucky movies. What eventually unfolded weaved in legacy characters … Continue reading TV Review: Chucky – Season 2
TV Review: Interview with the Vampire
For as long as I can remember, Anne Rice’s iconic gothic book series The Vampire Chronicles has always epitomized everything I loved about vampire mythology. Perhaps even moreso than Dracula, anytime I see something vampire-related, I automatically compare it back to Rice’s golden standard. The last time her most famous creation, the vampire Lestat, was … Continue reading TV Review: Interview with the Vampire
TV Review: Reboot
With just about every show that exists receiving a reboot, sequel, or spiritual successor, it was only a matter of time before someone released a project quite literally about making a reboot. Titled (what else) Reboot, imagine a ridiculous fictional sitcom that plays up every age-old trope we’ve come to know and love yet ended … Continue reading TV Review: Reboot
Interview: Actor Jackson Robert Scott
Earlier this week, we had the great pleasure of getting together with prolific young actor Jackson Robert Scott over Zoom! We celebrated the end of an era with Locke & Key, and Jackson shared his favorite key in the series, how he stays so scary in character, and reveals whether or not he cried on … Continue reading Interview: Actor Jackson Robert Scott
