Vati Back at camp, Daniel realizes how poorly (to put it nicely) Tribal Council went for him. Chanelle reveals that Daniel told her about Mike’s idol – something that Mike wasn’t aware of. Hai may have had the vote go his way, but that doesn’t mean he feels any better about his place in the […]

‘Australian Survivor: Blood V Water’ Week 9 Recap
Episode 21 Lava Back at camp, Josh owns up to Mark about voting for Sam. He gives his reasoning as thinking the best possible result was Sam’s idol being out of play. Mark rebuffs with “The best result was Jordie goes.” Yeah, that makes sense for Josh, but for Josh alone. That’s never going to […]
2022 Oscars Preview, Predictions, And Gambling Picks
It’s Oscars time, folks! And that means it’s time for one of my favorite posts each year, the preview! As always, this doubles as a gambling preview.

THE OUTFIT: Taut Thriller Will Keep You Guessing
When you think of a thriller or mystery, you probably imagine one big, central mystery that every event in the movie leads up to. The tension builds and builds until it reaches an explosive climax.

X Review: Ti West’s Triumphant – And Gory – Return To Horror
It’s 1979 and you’re in rural Texas shooting an adult film. You rent out a guesthouse on the farm of an elderly, possibly senile, couple, and you hide from them what you’re really there to do. What could go wrong? Well, a lot, actually, if you’re the film team in X, the latest from Ti […]
DEEP WATER Review: What If GONE GIRL Sucked?
Deep Water is a lot of things. A “good” movie is not one of them. But a “fun” movie? Well, kind of. And yet I somehow still kind of had a good time watching it? It’s weird. It doesn’t really fit into the “so bad it’s good” category. Lots of the technical aspects are well […]
‘Survivor 42’ Premiere Recap: “Feels Like A Rollercoaster”
Survivor is back! But to be honest, I’m decidedly less excited than I normally am. To be fair, though, it’s still Survivor, so excitement levels are high. But after the twist-filled, somewhat-of-a-letdown season in 41, combined with how easily Australian Survivor (coverage now on Talking Llama!) and Survivor South Africa are outpacing the flagship US […]
‘Australian Survivor: Blood V Water’ Week 6 Recap
