Wrapping Things Up | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 9 “The Series Finale” Review
With Episode 9, "WandaVision" is over (at least for now; it's not impossible we'll get a Season 2 down the road). And its finale (titled "The Series Finale") was pretty good. Spoilers ahead. It's been quite a journey. While I still am not a fan of its weekly release schedule -- and I stand by... Continue Reading →

We Got Ourselves A Villain: “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 7 “Breaking the Fourth Wall” Review
We enter the final stretch of WandaVision's presumably only season with Episode 7, and Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) TV reality is starting to fall apart. Spoilers ahead. We're apparently in the 2010s, as this week's sitcom part of the episode pays homage presumably to "Modern Family" (and I think "The Office"?). Vision (Paul Bettany) has... Continue Reading →
Another Crumb Of Information | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 6 “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” Review
As promised, Episode 6 of "WandaVision" has revealed a little bit more about the anomaly in Westview, N.J., created by Wanda Maximoff (Elizebth Olson) AKA Scarlet Witch. And that's just about all the episode offers us: a crumb of information. Spoilers ahead. This week's episode mimics conventions of modern day sitcoms like "Malcolm in the Middle", and...

The Facade Begins To Fall | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 5 “On a Very Special Episode …” Review
This should go without saying, but spoilers ahead. Coming out of Episode 4, the truth behind WandaVision's mystery became a little clearer, as we learned that S.W.O.R.D. Agent Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) successfully infiltrated what appears to be a pocket reality in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) AKA Scarlet Witch has trapped the residents of...

Showing Its Hand | “WandaVision” Season 1: Episode 4 “We Interrupt This Program” Review
After three very weird and cryptic episodes in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizebth Olsen) AKA Scarlet Witch and Vision (Paul Bettany), who's been dead since 2018's "Infinity War", have been in sitcoms that parody aspects of shows from the 1950s-70s, we get a breather/explainer episode in Episode 4 "We Interrupt This Program." Spoilers ahead. The episode... Continue Reading →
This Should’ve Been Released With Episodes 1 & 2 | “WandaVision” Season 1 Episode 3 “Now in Color” Review
After watching the first two episodes of "WandaVision," Disney Plus' first live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe show, I was very confused and not completely sold on the format, which parodies a different decade of sitcom every episode, starting with the 1950s. I was told that it gets better by Episode 3, which was provided to critics... Continue Reading →
What? | “WandaVision” Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2 Review
I knew "WandaVision", the first live action MCU Disney Plus series, would be weird. But I didn't expect to be baffled by it two episodes in. It's been a while since we've had a mainstream entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the last film we've got being July 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home," so it... Continue Reading →
A Refreshing, Small Tale About Familial Acceptance | “Uncle Frank” 2020 Amazon Prime Video Movie Review
Every once in a while, a brilliant film with a small, intimate tale backed up by a fantastic script and cast will make its way onto streaming, which is perhaps the only place even pre-pandemic such films could survive. Backed up by an amazing script and solid direction by writer-director Alan Ball, Amazon released one... Continue Reading →
