Great news, everybody, I owe me a beer! Cruel fate and necessity dictates that I establish whether this is a triumphant, tears of my enemies kind of beer, or a good old fashioned shame beer. My friends, I’m sad to report, it is the latter. That my track record in guessing the plots of the…
Archer: 1999 Season 10, Episode 6: “Road Trip” When we started talking about this season of Archer, we mentioned that the premiere seemed to signal a return to the structure and tone of the first four seasons (which I thought was a really good thing). That’s definitely been the case over the last several weeks—even…
Everyone has a breaking point. No matter how patient, or how forgiving, or how mentally tough a person may be, eventually there comes a time when enough is enough, and something has to change. The pain has to stop—one way or another. “Unfit” tells the story of two women (three, really) who have been pushed…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard-earned dollar. Right then, the featured $0.99 movie this week is a little indie remake by the name of Miss Bala….
Just about every stylish geek out there knows that nowadays there are so many avenues for stylish fan wear—from Hot Topic pics to Her Universe styles and more. One of the best companies specializing in beautiful pop culture jewelry (and who often sells on Her Universe and other sites) is RockLove Jewelry. This company has…
Once more into the breach, dear friends, only this time the movie might be amazing. This week, I watched the trailer for Apostle, about which a word of clarification might be warranted, for anyone potentially following along at home. Under no circumstances should an article be attached to this title. It is but one word….
For my recent second (or third) freshman entry here at Geek Insider, I covered a new video from the CEO of NECS, Inc. that was going viral due to its take on the Mandela Effect. And as promised, I recently sat down with Chris to discuss his unique encounter with the Mandela Effect and what…
Be warned: spoilers ahead. Consisting of only three episodes, the fifth season of Black Mirror became available on Netflix on June 5. The second episode of this latest season is called Smithereens. Although not the only one of this particular kind, Smithereens is an atypical Black Mirror episode because, in it, the premise in play…
I re-learned a few things this week, of varying degrees of utility and relevance. Paramount, perhaps, in my re-education, is the fact that a holiday weekend donks up my schedule to high heaven, so unfortunately, my greatly anticipated viewing of Castle Freak got wildly eclipsed by Fourth of July merriment (if you guessed that I…
Wow! I’m back… again. It has been entirely too damn long since I graced these pages and man am I glad to be back. A lot has happened since I was last here and while I won’t bore you with the details, just suffice it to say I’m back to stay. I was really kind…
Gilead is a tough place to be a woman. And I know—that’s a statement even Captain Obvious would roll his eyes at. But what The Handmaid’s Tale really wants us to understand is that, while life is difficult for anyone in Gilead whose only real crime is having the audacity to be born female, some…
Hi, my name is Kelly and you may remember me from such bad ideas as “what is Knife+Heart about, based solely on the trailer?”, and “oh, not that.” This week, I’ve watched the trailer for Castle Freak, a movie which reminded me several times of the fact that it was made by Stuart Gordon, a…
Archer: 1999 Season 10, Episode 5: “Mr. Deadly Goes to Town” Everyone’s life should have purpose and meaning. There are many who believe that each person is given a specific purpose at birth, and that person can only find true happiness by fulfilling that particular objective. Others will tell you that, while there may be…
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 6: “Household” The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t exactly feel-good television. We don’t expect it to be. It’s one of the best shows on TV right now, to be sure, but it’s not always easy to watch. I’m kind of glad Hulu decided to dole these episodes out on a weekly…
So the usually consistent performance of films based on Marvel Comics didn’t come through last month with Dark Phoenix. Don’t expect that same disappointment amongst the July movies when Spider-Man: Far from Home swings onto screens. The world needs to know how Peter Parker can sit through math class after floating around space as dust…
