Review: Deadpool & Wolverine
Let me take you to a film with old familiar friends Spoiler Warning I laughed A LOT. And before I say anything else, if you haven’t already seen the movie, I highly recommend you do before getting spoiled on anything because it is a film which deserves for its cameos…

Review: Choice & The Acolyte
In the end, a show more interesting in concept than in the execution Spoiler Warning The Acolyte ends its run with a finale that highlights the flaws and the virtues of the show, after a second flashback episode which finally revealed what happened on Brendok. I’m going to review each…

Review: Teach/Corrupt
Can my entire review just be the Picard’s facepalm meme? Spoiler Warning To review or not to review that is the question. Episode 6 of The Acolyte completely loses the plot with the only compelling aspect being the great performance of Manny Jacinto giving it his all (if not showing…

Review: Dot & Bubble
A classic Doctor Who lesson which breaks the bubble Spoiler Warning Finally, this season delivers a story which is not silly, not whacky, and delivers its emotional blows without pulling its punches. If you can’t tell, I really enjoyed Dot and Bubble. Conceptually, the idea of a TV episode providing…

Review: Boom & 73 Yards
Serious stories which emotionally miss the mark Spoiler Warning After the silliness of the first two Doctor Who episodes, and with my being away for the third episode, I determined writing a joint review for it and the fourth was the best way forward. Having watched both episodes now, it’s…
