This will be an odd comparison, but AGATHA ALL ALONG is the closest Marvel Studios has gotten to a Mike Flanagan series. If you think about it, especially after viewing the final two episodes, there’s a lot here about the effects of grief on an individual and how that (coupled with greed and power) can corrupt them. Each member of the coven confronts fears and traumas episodically and makes peace with the idea of death. And given that, I have…

When I was a little girl, I distinctly remember watching CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 3D on WPIX, a then-independent station out of New York City.

It also helps that Kathryn Hahn chews up the scenery (with gum) every moment…

Kevin Conroy is the best Batman of all time. There, I said it. I challenge you to find a more damaged Batman than his from my childhood favorite, BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. It’s the sadness that Conroy can portray in his voice in scenes like ROBIN’S RECKONING when a young Dick asks him, “Does the hurt ever go away?” And he answers with sorrow, warmness, and kindness, “I wish I could say yes. But it will be better in time.…
