I’ll start off with a simple admission: Until now I’d never watched Friends. I was familiar with particular moments throughout the show’s run, from Ross’s slip up at the altar to “Emily” (Rachel), to Monica and Chandler and the Joey memes. When asked why I’d never watched the show, I’d remark that I wasn’t a nineties … Read more
Right away, I want to admit that I’ve been rather critical of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Compared to Wandavision’s sweetly homespun tale of love and loss, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has created moments of big blockbuster action previously experienced on the big screen with a large bucket of popcorn in our laps, while at … Read more
It’s hard to believe that just one season ago, we still thought this show was about humanity eliminating the titans outside the walls, with the Colossal and Armoured Titans being the final bosses. How wrong we were. After season 3 of Attack on Titan ended with the shocking revelation that an apocalyptic titan event has … Read more
So, here we are, one episode away from the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Compared to the explosive events throughout the last two episodes, and those final chilling moments last week as new Cap John Walker bludgeoned a Flag Smasher to death with the iconic shield, Episode 5 “Truth” dialled things down a notch, … Read more
John Walker, the world’s new Captain America. The hero everyone needs after Steve Rogers. That didn’t last long. Truth be told, there are few more haunting sights than Walker holding Cap’s iconic shield covered in blood. Beginning this review from the end, the closing moments of “The Whole World is Watching”, are certainly the highlights of … Read more
And that’s it, Season 10 is at an end. As anyone would know judging by the previous five reviews to The Walking Dead’s extended tenth season, better known as 10c or the ‘COVID episodes’, critical reception has wildly varied. We’ve had a supreme performance from Terminator 2’s Robert Patrick and perhaps the lowest point of the entire series with … Read more
After the first two episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, there wasn’t that much to shout about. Underdeveloped villains and their recycled tropes of doing bad for good and a new, rather uninteresting Captain America stand out most of all, but The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’s action sequences and a team-up between … Read more
We know Bob Odenkirk could do comedy from his work on Mr. Show. We know he could do drama, amply demonstrated by the character of Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. But action star? You wouldn’t believe it till you see it. And having seen it, I’m certainly convinced. He’s not your … Read more
“Diverged” is a uniquely structured bottle episode focusing on Carol and Daryl at the lowest point of their friendship. The general opinion surrounding The Walking Dead is that AMC’s highest-rated cable drama has declined in quality over the past few years, evidenced best with “Diverged”. Last night’s episode focuses, quite predictably, on Carol and Daryl, following the fallout … Read more
The opening episode set the stage for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, making ready for rampant action, some hilarious chemistry between the show’s two leads, and the return of Helmut Zemo, a foe last seen in Captain America: Civil War. Both Wilson and Barnes are on the trail of the Flag Smashers, tracking them to Munich … Read more
