Going into School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, my expectations were admittedly low. How would a play that never leaves one location manage to maintain a consistency throughout, establish concise character arcs, and somehow make cultural specificity a colorful delight? Structured around a Miss Ghana pageant audition, this unique show from Tony Award-nominated … Continue reading Theater Review: School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play

Film Review: The Influencer Project
★★ At this point, influencer-based horror is pretty much a dime a dozen. This oversaturated subgenre already feels a little tired and, frankly, quite dated as well. Despite a clever social media presentation and an energetic final act, this “influenced by true events” thriller has no shortage of annoying characters, obvious commentary, and silly mysteries. … Continue reading Film Review: The Influencer Project
TV Review: Carrie
For being one of the shortest books in Stephen King‘s entire bibliography, Carrie has somehow been adapted into a 70s cult classic, an entertaining sequel to the original, a TV movie designed as a backdoor pilot that never took off, and a stylish remake. That’s a whole lot of mileage for a concise novel. What … Continue reading TV Review: Carrie
TV Review: East of Eden
Zoe Kazan takes on John Steinbeck’s sprawling American classic with East of Eden, a seven-episode limited series from Netflix focused on compelling gender dynamics and generational trauma. Midsommar scream queen Florence Pugh takes on antihero Cathy Ames, while Christopher Abbott (Possessor) and Mike Faist (Challengers) play brothers Adam and Charles Trask. Adam and Charles endure … Continue reading TV Review: East of Eden
Film Review: April X
★★ Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie emerged as one of the most exciting new talents in ages, along with his co-star Hudson Williams. To say they've been at the forefront of the public eye over the last year would be putting it mildly. Clearly, any projects that either of them worked on that were filmed … Continue reading Film Review: April X
Theater Review: Oh, Mary!
Welcome to the Thunderfuck Administration! Oh, Mary! is a farcical delight that revels in the incredible comic timing of underrated drag queen Alaska Thunderfuck. The play is brilliantly written and constructed, building towards gradual payoffs that are extremely satisfying to watch unfold. Additionally, the entire ensemble contributes to the greater whole, becoming a cohesive unit … Continue reading Theater Review: Oh, Mary!
Film Review: Charlie Harper
★★★★★ What is the true meaning of love? Do we actually make an impact on the people we touch in our lives? Is it possible to find success and love with the person most important to us? Many films have attempted to answer these questions, particularly in the romance department. Some are middling at best, … Continue reading Film Review: Charlie Harper
Film Review: Resident Evil (2026)
★★★★★ As a longtime fan of the franchise since 1998’s Resident Evil 2, Zack Cregger's take on the storied horror franchise quickly won me over. The comedian-turned-modern horror maven was the perfect fit to helm this fresh version of a movie series that has been shambling along for decades. As much as I adored Resident … Continue reading Film Review: Resident Evil (2026)

TV Review: The Creep Tapes – Season 3
Three seasons deep into its surprising run on Shudder, The Creep Tapes continues a signature brand of found footage with exciting, frequently horrific new episodes. Following the trend of the past, just six installments, barely 20 minutes each, make for an easy binge that will chill you to the bone by the time it concludes. … Continue reading TV Review: The Creep Tapes – Season 3
