As the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” After a year without Survivor, we now have two concurrently running seasons, with the U.S. not far behind. And not only that, but with the way Australian Survivor runs things, with multiple episodes each week, we have 4 episodes each week. Now, I love it, […]

‘Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island’ Episode 7 Recap
Zamba Qieän! She actually gets a confessional, saying she doesn’t feel like she has a place in the game. Which unfortunately feels way too accurate, as she hasn’t had a place in the edit. And then, that’s it? It immediately cuts to a completely different, unrelated conversation at camp. It was an odd edit choice, […]
BLACK WIDOW Review: A No Stakes Thrill Ride
Prequels have an inherent problem that no other movies do. Viewers already know the fates of the main characters. This is especially problematic in action movies, where the characters are in constant danger. This issue runs even deeper with Black Widow, the latest entry into the MCU – and first since SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME […]
Review Rundown: LUCA, ZOLA, NO SUDDEN MOVE
By all accounts, movies are back, so I’ve got to get back on that review train. I finally got around to F9 the other day, with (hopefully) many more to come. But there are several movies that I didn’t get to that I want to cover quickly while I still have the chance. LUCA Disney’s […]
F9: THE FAST SAGA Review
F9, where to even begin with this one. I guess, I should start by saying I LOVE the Fast and Furious franchise. The over-the-top action, the quippy (often cheesy) one-liners, the fact they’ve gone from stealing DVD players to becoming full-on superheroes, every single person involved in the series realizing the franchise they’re in…except for […]
‘Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island’ Episode 5 Recap
Vuna No preamble, let’s just jump right into this week’s Survivor SA episode. Thoriso is making moves to get herself out of the bottom of the Vuna tribe. She approaches Anesu about helping her convince Tyson to part with the parchment – just the parchment – for his idol, so she can try to convince […]
‘Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island’ Episode 4 Recap
After a week off, I’m back and raring to go for more Survivor SA. I was out of town for a wedding last weekend, and couldn’t find time to get a recap out once I got back. Hopefully you didn’t miss me too much. Camp raid We’ll start off at Zamba, as Dino reads Tree […]
‘Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island’ Episode 2 Recap
Before we get into this week’s Survivor SA episode, I have some corrections to make from last week’s recap. I had a couple mistakes with how Immunity Island worked. By accepting the Stay and Play option, you give up your vote regardless on whether or not you win the challenge. The first episode was a […]
‘Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island’ Premiere Recap
We’re back baby!!!! I was getting some serious Michael Jordan comteback vibes with the Survivor SA season 8 premiere. Filmed locally in South Africa on the Wild Coast – and entirely in secret – Immunity Island is the first of the major English-speaking versions of Survivor to return. Survivor Australia and the flagship U.S. version […]
2021 Oscars Preview And Predictions
It’s Oscars time, baby! The Super Bowl of movie awards. Possibly the wackiest award season ever is finally coming to a close on Sunday night. And after all the delays and the Zoom awards shows and the (honestly dumb and unnecessary) extended awards eligibility window, it’s time to preview one of my favorite nights of […]
