It was critically…
Flowers are blooming, cars are swamped with pollen, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs are lining the shelves of grocery stores everywhere.

From the B Movie roots of George A Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 1978 to slicker submissions in Danny Boyles 28 Days Later in 2003….
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty (clever code, here, for “Kelly’s continued pure, unmitigated delight”) of episode 2, I have done a little bit of pro bono digging, and found that the name of the What We do in the Shadows theme song is called “You’re Dead” by Norma Tanega, and I highly recommend Youtube-ing…
After a phenomenal first season, we’ve all been anxiously awaiting the season two premiere of Killing Eve. Will it live up to the hype, or will it struggle to maintain its momentum? Will it continue to keep us on the edge of our seats, or will it go hopelessly off the rails after showing so…
All things considered, Bob Belcher seems generally happy with his life. He doesn’t make a lot of money, and his family drives him crazy, but he’s okay with all of that because he gets to do what he loves—make burgers. And he’s pretty good at it, too—and he knows it. He may not be good…
It’s that age-old battle between comic book juggernauts. Once again Marvel and DC slug it out. This time it’s with their latest big screen titles. But it’s definitely not a fair fight. DC launches Shazam!, the quirky action comedy that is basically the superhero equivalent to Tom Hanks’ Big. While Marvel unleashes the behemoth, Avengers:…

I get sad on New Years. It happens, every year, without fail – December 31st through January 1st, I’m depressed, even by morose, goth standards. Through a very long history of this, there has been one thing that reliably makes me feel better and damn near human (a generally preferable way to start a year,…
