Break Time Reviews
Coco Coco debriefs back at camp after the Lindsay vote. We learn that the larger group did clue in Geo and Ryan that Lindsay was the vote. But Cassidy is a little uneasy, as she received the one rogue vote. Geo confesses to placing his vote on Cassidy, as a potential safeguard if things went […]
Vesi After voting out Nneka, Cody feels conflicted. He had such a strong relationship with her, but felt they had to make that move to strengthen the tribe for challenges. Baka Gabler is still having trouble to fit in socially. He gives Sami and Elie palm frond blankets, completely unannounced. On its own, sure, it’s […]
Vesi We open with Cody rehashing how he got the beads from the rest of the tribe just in time before Tribal Council. With this now back to the normal 60 minute time slot, this seems like something that could have been included last week, with the extended 90 minute block. But getting to the […]
Baka The island gets hit with a huge storm overnight. Surprisingly, we didn’t get any comments about this being “the hardest season ever.” It’s a welcome change from the previous two seasons. Of course they talk about how hard it is, but thankfully seem to realize the context and don’t oversell it. That being said, […]
Once again, Survivor is back! Which means once again, it’s one of my favorite days of the year. And while I’m still very excited for Survivor 43, I’m maybe more curious than excited this time around. With Survivor 41 and 42 completed, we now have our first season of the “new era” where the players […]
If you’ve followed Barbarian’s release or traction on social media, you’ll likely have seen two reoccurring thoughts: it’s not the movie you’re expecting it to be and go in knowing as little as possible. And I’m here to echo both of of those, which makes reviewing Barbarian a bit of a challenge. But we’ll do […]
Ti West’s X is one of the best, and one of my favorite, movies from this year. One of the things it did so well that helped set itself apart was how self-aware and self-referential it was. That can be a very tricky angle to manage. Do it wrong and it comes off as clumsy, […]
In 2009, comedian and actor Stephen Rannazzisi claimed on Marc Maron’s podcast that he was in the World Trade Center on 9/11. However, he later revealed in 2015 that he made up the entire story. An article in the New York Times covered it. And Pete Davidson – whose firefighter dad died in 9/11 – […]
Where the Crawdads Sing is a mystery movie light on the mystery. That might sound counterintuitive, and I’d be inclined to agree. Instead, it takes the mystery – in this case, a potential murder – and uses it to tell an incredibly compelling character study of the young woman at the center of it all, […]
Fans and critics often lump the first two Thor movies together as two of the worst and least popular entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They have their fans, sure, but not many are championing them as pillars of superhero movies. Then came 2017 and Thor: Ragnarok, with Taika Waititi taking control of the God […]
