Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The Strain season 4… Real menace can take any form. Understated, cold and calculating, supremely manipulative and smugly conceited are just a few traits which Richard Sammel has mastered. His theatricality in front of a make-up mirror, face offs against David Bradley’s Setrakian or subserviently grovelling before his […]
Preacher Season 2 Episode 8 Review – ‘Holes’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Preacher season 2… Theological questions of immortality, questionable plastering skills and moments in Hell make up Preacher this week. Power issues in the afterlife are addressed, goodness is punished in short order, while megalomaniac bonding sessions never felt creepier. Surreal fireside television torture, voice distortion and a film noir, cabin […]

Cinematic Titanic: The Complete Collection Review
Brad Cook reviews Cinematic Titanic: The Complete Collection… The end of Mystery Science Theater 3000’s first run didn’t spell the end of riffing on bad movies. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett continued the tradition with The Film Crew and RiffTrax, and Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Coniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and J. Elvis Weinstein […]
Rick and Morty Season 3 Episode 3 Review – ‘Pickle Rick’
Liam Hoofe reviews the third episode of Rick and Morty season three, ‘Pickle Rick’… The sight of Rick transformed into a talking pickle has been a heavy part of the advertising material for Rick and Morty Season 3 but no matter how many times we’ve been exposed to it, it still hasn’t gotten old. Pickle […]

Villordsutch reviews Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4 – “The Spoils of War”… Written by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss Directed Matt Shakman Daenerys – “Dracarys!” This week’s Game of Thrones “The Spoils of War” is coming in at just under fifty minutes.

Video Game Review – Tacoma
Shaun Munro reviews Tacoma… The follow-up to Fullbright’s much-discussed exploration game Gone Home is an effort both ambitious and familiar, a frequently haunting, character-driven sci-fi drama that mostly overcomes its occasional divergences into ennui. Mostly. The year is 2088, and protagonist Amy Ferrier is a technician sent to the titular abandoned space station to retrieve ODIN, a valuable […]
Video Game Review – Redeemer
Lewy Buck reviews Redeemer… For someone who enjoys twin-stick shooters I admittedly don’t play enough of them, from early titles such as Smash TV to the more recent Blacksea Odyssey I’ve never really had an awful experience with one but at the same time I’ve never thought one should have a place in my yearly […]
