What We Do in the Shadows Season 3: What is an Energy Vampire Anyway?

New DVD release, , , ,

An A.P. Bio Season 4 Episode Guide with Showrunner Mike O’Brien

New DVD release, , , ,
Fittingly for a show about high school, A.P. Bio’s writers are often tasked with the least enjoyable aspect of education: homework. “One of the ways we try to find new areas in stories is just by writing assignments and homework,” A.P. Bio showrunner Mike O’Brien tells Den of Geek. “We’ll all go home and write. I often call them sketches or scenes – just some little thing.” O’Brien’s homework assignments have apparently paid off as they’ve allowed the comedy to reach four seasons, the first two of which aired on NBC and the following two on streaming service Peacock.  A.P.…

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Money Heist season 4. If there’s one thing that can be said about Money Heist, it’s that it’s been a wild ride. Even the way the show got popular was crazy.

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 2 Review: Acheron Part 2

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 2 So far in season 11 of The Walking Dead, the biggest weapon in the arsenal of the survivors hasn’t been a gun, but the brain. Specifically, the power of observation. Princess used it to good effect to nearly get the group out of Commonwealth processing prison, and now Yumiko is taking the information Princess and others have gathered on the people around them, churns it through her lawyer-trained mind, and comes up with a line of patter so effective it makes Ezekiel’s summation of lead guard…

Why Netflix Saved Manifest Season 4

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
Fans who wished for Manifest season 4 had reason to hope that Netflix would rescue their beloved show, but they might wonder why it took so long to finally make the announcement. After all, the show was in the streaming giant’s top 10 list ever since NBC announced its cancelation. But there may have been more to it than simply picking up the series outright or waiting for a Twitter campaign to prove that the audience was still out there. Obviously, there was a certain amount of negotiation that had to happen behind the scenes between Warner Bros. Television, which…

Evil Season 2 Episode 7 Review: S Is for Silence

New DVD release, , ,
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 7 Moving from the networks to the more risk-taking Paramount+ brings more fun and experimentation to Evil season 2. Episode 7, “S Is for Silence,” takes its title seriously, but also humorously, as the series presents its first entry into the silent genre of visual storytelling. Half the team go off exploring the shadowy darkness of impressionists, the other explores silent comedies. Not a word has been spoken within the walls of the monastery of St. Thomas in 130 years, reads a sign just inside the gate. The compound and structure…

Cobra Kai Season 5 Sweeps the Leg of Doubt Ahead of Season 4

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
Netflix might as well be the San Fernando Valley, since the streaming giant has karate on its algorithmic brain, thanks to escalating hype from hit television acquisition Cobra Kai. Indeed, the series has just nabbed an advance fifth season renewal, arriving on the heels of a status-elevating Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy amongst other nods. The move occurs as the show’s slowly-teased upcoming fourth season heads toward a still-date-less December release window. After recent changes to Netflix’s formerly-spendthrift content-ordering habits, the renewal certainly solidifies the series as one of the streamer’s primary pillars. Yes, it appears that the high-stakes tournament…

My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 21 Review: Revival Party

New DVD release, , , , ,
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. “What is…a normal life?” “Normalcy” is often viewed like it’s some congenital defect in My Hero Academia and there are plenty of characters in the series who view a lack of special abilities as a confirmation of inferiority. Granted, My Hero Academia exists within such an exaggerated world that there’s a sliding scale of what qualifies as “normal,” especially when it comes to the context of society’s villains. Contrasting opinions are presented on which villains are acting “properly” and have the best vision for not only the state of villainy, but society itself. …
