It's a Filipino animated series on Netflix directed by Jay Oliva who's worked on animated shows and movies like Young Justice, and Justice League Dark to name a few. Based on the comics by writer Budjette … Continue reading Trese (S1 Review) | Filipino Myth and Folklore with Shades of Familiar Heroes
Michael Waldron (Head Writer) & Kate Herron (Director)CASTTom HiddlestonOwen WilsonGugu Mbatha-RawWunmi Mosaku Review I suspected as much but Loki has a different vibe than the other shows and I love it. The set and costume designs, the cinematography, it all look singular yet it fits with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Story-wise most … Continue reading Loki (Season 1 Pilot Review) | A Recap and A Mystery
This TV show wasn't on my radar until the first teaser was released. I had no idea this was coming but the teaser trailer piqued my interest in the show.

It's been increasing for at least the last ten years but these past six months seem to have been flooded with new superhero shows (WandaVision, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Invincible). Despite the medium and streaming, these new shows do not resemble the ones we had before.

I can't call myself a Zack Snyder's stan. The first time I even heard of him was in 2006 when 300 came out. Since then I went to see Watchmen (2009), which I liked; Sucker Punch, that I loved - I don't care I like it -; Man of Steel, which was awesome, and Batman … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League (Movie Review) | Highlighting Where The Big Mistakes Were Made
I'm a scaredy-cat, I know that about myself and I'm O.K. with it. It's the reason why I was so reluctant to see Lovecraft Country even though I wanted to watch and review the pilot when it aired.
