Lucifer Season 6 Episode 10 Review: Partners ‘Til the End

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 10 “I’m an angel, remember? I’ll see you on the other side.” There are endless avenues the Lucifer writing team could have taken with the series finale “Partners ‘Til the End,” but fans of the Netflix fantasy show are treated to an emotionally charged ride that finally places the characters exactly where they need to be whether in Heaven, Hell, or here on earth. Though the episode clearly centers on the circumstances behind Lucifer’s disappearance and the impact it eventually has on Chloe and Rory, all the characters receive wonderful, albeit…

Y: The Last Man – Ampersand the Monkey is TV’s Next Little Buddy

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains light spoilers for Y: The Last Man episodes 1-3. The television landscape must always have a little buddy.  You know what I’m talking about. At any given moment, at least one show must play host to a cuddly little critter – whether that be Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda on The Mandalorian, Alligator Loki on Loki, or really any Pokémon on Pokémon (except for Lickitung, that absolute freak). Now, thankfully, TV’s next little buddy has arrived and it’s one of the fall season’s unlikeliest series: Y: The Last Man. FX on Hulu’s Y: The Last Man is based…

Dear Evan Hansen May Be the Most Uncomfortable Musical Ever Made

New DVD release, ,
There was a moment near the beginning of Robert Zemeckis’ odyssey into mo-cap animation where the press believed the magic trick: Yes, these soulless dead-eyed automatons who kind of look like Tom Hanks in a Santa suit are the future, we were told. Yet no matter how much digital snow was drawn on Hanks’ head, never once did anyone feel Christmas cheer. I was reminded of this trip to the uncanny valley while watching Dear Evan Hansen. And not just because of the incredulity of producers thinking actor Ben Platt could still pass for a teenager while pushing 30. To…

New World’s Players Are the Best and Worst Thing About the Game

New DVD release, , , ,
New World‘s recent open beta proved to be a tremendous success with some reports suggesting that the MMO attracted over 140,000 concurrent Steam players. While it remains to be seen how many of those players will purchase and ultimately play the game when it’s released on September 28, it certainly does feel like this Amazon Game Studios project has a fantastic chance of at least launching with a sizeable player base eager to dive into what figures to be one of the most fascinating upcoming entries into a suddenly resurging genre. Interestingly, though, that may prove to be both a…

Hawkeye: Who Is Vera Farmiga Playing in the Disney+ Series?

New DVD release, , , ,
Vera Farmiga’s brief appearance in the trailer for Disney+’s new Hawkeye series certainly set the speculation train alight. “Who could she possibly be playing?” “She looks pretty evil.” Good news: she’s playing Eleanor Bishop, Kate’s mom; she is in fact pretty evil; and she doesn’t appear to have a whit of ’80s frumpy ex-nun to her character. She’s just going to be a wealthy, amoral jerk. And also maybe a vampire. Who Is Eleanor Bishop? Eleanor has a place in Kate’s story going back to her earliest days – she’s mentioned in Young Avengers Special #1 in 2006, shortly after…

Endeavour: Will There Be a Series 9?

New DVD release, ,
All prequels head towards a predetermined endpoint, the question is how long they spend getting there. In the case of ITV’s Inspector Morse prequel Endeavour, that endpoint won’t be the moment that the baton passes from Shaun Evans’ incarnation of the detective as a younger man to John Thaw’s first appearance as the character. “We don’t plan to take it up to 1987 – that’s a fairly safe bet!” Endeavour creator Russell Lewis told Den of Geek in 2019. Considering that it took six series for the drama to cover just half of the 1960s, that comes as no surprise.…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 9 Review: Goodbye, Lucifer

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 9 “Where’s a goddamn celestial when you need one.” In its series’ penultimate episode, “Goodbye, Lucifer,” Lucifer presents a powerful examination of the fate vs free will debate as Lucifer does his best to avoid abandoning Chloe and their unborn daughter Rory. Time travel, time loops, body jumping, end-of-the-world apocalypse – it’s all here as the series eschews its traditional witty one-liners for some resolute reflection in a moment of existential crisis. It doesn’t get much better than this. There’s a certain irony in the fact that Lucifer is more concerned…

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 4 Review: Rendition

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 4 Has anyone on The Walking Dead been through as much as Daryl Dixon? He’s been tortured several times at this point, including the most insidious torture method ever devised by Negan. He’s been injured in pretty much every possible way someone can be injured. His motorcycles have long since stopped running. His friends won’t let him retreat into the woods like the smelly hermit he longs to be. The only love affair he’s had on the show has ended in ambivalent tragedy. To be fair, he’s…

The Walking Dead Season 11: Leah Twist Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This The Walking Dead feature contains spoilers. One of the issues with the collection of bonus bottle episodes rolled out at the end of Season 10 of The Walking Dead is that they were constructed in such a way that they didn’t especially matter to the overall narrative. Sure, they were fun. They had some great character moments to help explain just how our survivors ended up the people they are, and what sort of adventures they might have been up to in between seasons, but they haven’t exactly carried a lot of narrative weight this far in season 11.…

The Eyes of Tammy Faye Review: Jessica Chastain Buries a Soul Somewhere in There

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Bible says eyes are a window to the soul, and the scripture ain’t lying when it comes to The Eyes of Tammy Faye. If you can look past all the clutter and myriad distractions, there is a resilient and even boisterous spirit radiating from Jessica Chastain every time you meet her gaze. Yet it’s sometimes hard to notice—and not because of all the makeup and prosthetics they add to the actress’ face as the movie goes along. Rather what traps this richly textured performance is the glossy and fairly shallow biopic in which it’s situated. Here is a Hollywood…

Rick and Morty Season 6: What to Expect

New DVD release, ,
There aren’t many guarantees in life. Thankfully, one of them is that we will be getting new episodes of Rick and Morty on Adult Swim … many more new episodes in fact! You may recall that way back in 2018, Adult Swim cut a deal with Rick and Morty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon to produce a staggering 70 additional  episodes of the show. The deal came before season 4 and since then Rick and Morty has generated 20 episodes, leaving fans with (at least) 50 more to look forward to.  Each season of Rick and Morty thus far…

Endeavour Series 8 Episode 1 Review: the Inspector Morse Transition Begins

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Endeavour Series 8 Episode 1 Review: ‘Striker’ Warning: this Endeavour review contains spoilers. It’s 1971, and Oxford’s finest are, as ever, dealing with all of humanity’s worst impulses. Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) wakes up late from a hangover, leaving DI Thursday (Roger Allam) waiting in vain for his usual morning lift to work from his Detective Sergeant. It’s not behaviour we’d expect from our Morse…except, of course, it is, when you think about it.  John Thaw’s Inspector was a man who suffered silently, and it’s that version of the character that the sensitive, easily hurt young man we met back…

Vigil Episode 4 Review: Who’s Been Russian Around Committing Sa-boat-age?!

New DVD release, , , , ,
Warning: this review contains Vigil spoilers. The Russians! We’ve been expecting you. After all, where would a Second Cold War submarine thriller be without a Piotr or a Fyodor? Sunk, probably. Forget the blackmail and bad blood theories: new intelligence suggests that Jade and Craig were murdered by Soviets because they’d stumbled onto Russia’s top secret plan for HMS Vigil.  What plan, you ask? Judging by the spies’ interest in Vigil’s ventilation system, it’s either to subtly undermine Western democracy by messing with the boat’s air-con settings, or to suffocate the crew in a tragic ‘accident’ that pushes the UK into voting…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 Review: Save the Devil, Save the World

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 “This is the worst idea the doctor has ever had.” It’s the rare episode of Lucifer that moves outside its comfort zone of dead bodies, shady suspects, and puzzling evidence, but “Save the Devil, Save the World” does just that as it hones in on a much bigger problem. The end of the world appears nigh, and no one knows why.  While the introspective offering ventures into clip-show territory, the past scenes never feel obtrusive, nor do they stand in the way of fresh, new material. It’s fascinating to learn…

Evil Season 2 Brings a Case Worthy of The X-Files

New DVD release, , ,
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 9 One of the first reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon comes from The Bible, when Ezekiel saw the wheel. It was redacted in the later editions, but we now know he probably just saw a weather balloon. Just like the Man in Black played by Jesse Ventura on The X-Files proved that President James Earl Carter, Jr., saw the planet Venus when he reported strange things in the sky. Evil season 2, episode 9, “U Is for U.F.O.,” gets to the bottom of these conflicting reports. After all, the unidentified object…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 7 Review: My Best Fiend’s Wedding

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 7 “The God thing is on hold for right now.” Toxic masculinity, police misconduct, same sex wedding. As Adam says, “wokeness is hard,” but it’s also fair to say that Lucifer risks going a bit overboard as a social justice warrior in its final days. But any perceived heavy handedness floats away when Eve walks down the aisle toward her beautiful, black gowned partner Mazikeen, and “My Best Fiend’s Wedding” reminds us what makes this series so special. It’s the power of love amidst the vagaries of the human condition, and…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 6 Review: A Lot Dirtier Than That

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 6 “You may have just met me, but I’ve known you my whole life.” Some might say that “A Lot Dirtier Than That” comes across far too heavy handed in making its arguments about racial injustices involving the police, but sometimes it takes a sledge hammer to get people’s attention. Lucifer rarely engages in social commentary, but here it’s Amenadiel’s second brush with a bigoted detective that forces the angel to reevaluate his role as a black man working in law enforcement and puts on open display the challenges facing both…

Malignant and Shock Twists That Ruin Movies

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Malignant spoilers. No matter what you think of James Wan’s Malignant, you have to give him this much: it’s pretty original. The filmmaker behind some of the biggest horror movies from this century—Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring in all under a decade—used that clout to pass on a sure thing like directing The Conjuring 3 and instead created something absolutely batshit crazy. In fact, it is on a hill of that batshit where Malignant will live or die for most viewers. If you’ve read this far, we hope you’ve seen the movie and it’s not a spoiler…

Lucifer Season 6 Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Lucifer Season 6 spoilers. No Netflix resurrections this time, as Lucifer has departed this mortal realm after six terrific seasons. The show’s fans managed to rescue it from cancellation once, and the streaming service stepped up to keep the party going at Lux several times, but we’ve had to say goodbye to Lucifer, Chloe and the rest of our faves for good now. There was a lot going on in the final season, as you might have expected before you even hit play on the first installment. There were certainly plenty of loose ends to tie up…

Last Night in Soho Review: Edgar Wright Horror Movie Haunted with ’60s Style

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The incredible trailer for Last Night in Soho dropped in the middle of the pandemic like an oasis in a desert for cinema-starved folks longing for bold, original films. Looking back, it seemed impossible that Edgar Wright’s latest creation would be able to live up to the impossibly high standards set for it. But Last Night in Soho manages to be part charming and part chilling in its exploration of a very specific 1960s, giallo-inspired aesthetic. It’s a kaleidoscopic flurry of colors and images, and even as it perhaps loses the thread when it’s asked to make sense of itself,…
