Review: Resident Evil (Netflix)
Remember when I opened up about my collection of Lance Reddick body pillows? I saw that as a fun way of connecting with my audience (and removing the stigma from gettin’ snuggly with Lance). What was the harm? Resident Evil was the harm. See, if I’m going to be able to show my face at…

Review: The Boys, Season 3, Episode 7
After last week’s “Herogasm” blowout (blow-up?), The Boys took things down a notch this week to spend an episode focusing on how the various characters deal with the fallout from.

That said, this season of The Boys…

Throwback Review: The Boys (Season 2)
With the third season of The Boys coming out soon, I thought it might be an appropriate time to dust off this old gem… In these uncertain times, it’s extremely important to maintain our mental health by distracting ourselves from the cascading mudslide of existential horrors that’s going on literally right now. Don’t think about…
