MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS S1 E1-E2 😊

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. KONG (2021) was somewhat off my radar before it premiered. I blame a large chunk of that on the AMPTP dragging their feet and not agreeing to the strike demands of SAG-AFTRA and the WGA, but I’m still surprised Apple didn’t put more promotions into it. I’m a lifelong Godzilla-King Kong-Mothra fan, and I…

LOKI S2 REVIEW 🤩😊🤮

The team at SFR was mixed on LOKI, the latest entry into the MCU. Eli, Mike, and Tarush gave S2 🤩. And said: LOKI deserves to be mentioned alongside the most heralded entries of the MCU regardless of the medium it’s in.” – Eli “LOKI both as a series and a character, has evolved into something deeper and richer than its prior season could ever have hoped to accomplish. This was an intense and immensely enjoyable season with a commanding…

DAVID HOLMES: THE BOY WHO LIVED 🤩

When I was younger, I went through a phase where I thought maybe I could be a stunt performer. I had no idea how to do it, and I was never sure if I was “sporty” enough or thin enough or if I needed to also have some acting experience. Thirty years later, it’s just a lost dream now. In that time, I realized that stunt performing is one of the hardest, most dangerous jobs in the world done by…

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH S2E6 🤩, S2E7 😊

S2 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…

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON: THE OSAGE MURDERS AND THE BIRTH OF THE FBI 🤩

In 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. Growing up in central upstate NY between Syracuse and Lake Ontario, we learned about the Native Americans who first inhabited the lands we lived on for thousands of years before British and French colonizers arrived. I consider my education in the 80s & 90s to be a…
