A Long Way Home 1981 TV Movie Review
Ages ago, I had seen this movie probably just once on a network broadcast. Back in the day (not sure about now) they would have these specials at night from time to time, made for TV movies, usually a dramatization of an issue plaguing society. A Long Way Home 1981 focuses on a few issues…

Dark Side of the Ring Plane Ride from Hell Season 3 Episode 8 Review
I haven’t done one of these in a while but with my extra time these days and the fact that I recently got back into pro-wrestling, I figured it might be a good reason to write up a review of the latest Dark Side of the Ring entitled “Plane Ride from Hell.” This episode talks…

South Park: The Pandemic Special
I had been catching up on my South Park since it’s now available on HBOMax. Thus, I had been eagerly anticipating the newest season for a while, although the last seasons had been a bunch of hits and misses.

Game of Thrones: Season 8 Episode 3 Review

Game of Thrones: Season 8 Episode 2 Review
For this review, I decided not to do a play-by-play type of commentary. Instead, I wanted to address the macro issues within the episode since a lot of things happened. Much of the episode was about setting up for the highly anticipated upcoming battle between the living and the dead but there was a lot…

Game of Thrones: What is Tyrion’s Motivation?
One of the biggest questions on my mind with Game of Thrones this season is Tyrion’s ultimate purpose to the plot. Many have criticized his character as being an after effect due to Dave and Dan no longer having the books as source material for Tyrion’s better quotes. Barring banal dialogue, the real thing to…

Voltron: Legendary Defender Finale Thoughts
Last week, I spent a few nights finishing up the last Voltron series on Netflix. I have to say that for the most part it was pretty satisfying, if not a tad bit on the depressing side with a few bizarre unexpected moments thrown in
