    We’re halfway through Gotham’s final run, and, if you’ve been following along with me, you know I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how nicely things have progressed thus far.

  • ‘Pet Sematary’ Comes Back, But It’s Not the Same in Latest Trailer

    I have watched the newest Pet Sematary trailer three times in the past two hours.
