This new Apple TV+ show, set in the same universe as GODZILLA (2014), KONG: SKULL ISLAND (2017), GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019), and GODZILLA VS.

Continue ReadingS2 of OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH started with a dud for me. I was so unimpressed with E1 of this season that I didn’t continue to the following two episodes that all dropped together back on October 5th. When a friend told me the show picked up quickly after the premiere, I binged E2-6 in one sitting, and I’m so glad I did. I returned to this show for Stede and Ed, and the pirates delivered that. There are a…
Continue ReadingIn the lead-up to Martin Scorcese’s next film, I really wanted to read the non-fiction book upon which it is based. I knew next to nothing about the Osage people or their history.
