★★★★ From Angel Studios, Andy Serkis helms an all-new take on disturbing George Orwell classic, Animal Farm. Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller, who brilliantly found a way to bring The Muppets back to the big screen in 2011, and also hilarious sequels Neighbors 2, Zoolander 2, and Get Him to the Greek, turns his pen to the … Continue reading Film Review: Animal Farm
Film Review: One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5
★★★★ There may be no convincing way to sell the largeness of the Stranger Things phenomena to an outsider. Having followed the show since day one, I still remember needing to special-order custom merchandise due to the Netflix breakout itself having zero out at the time.

Pit Stop: Stranger Things: The Experience New York
It's crazy to think just how big a juggernaut that Netflix's excellent horror series, Stranger Things, has become. I remember shortly after the first season debuted, when it was so new and beloved that they were yet to even produce merchandise. I ordered a custom-made Stranger Things tee online at the time and wore it … Continue reading Pit Stop: Stranger Things: The Experience New York
