The Flash (7×01)- “All’s Well That Ends Wells” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Lauren Certo Directed by: Geoffrey Wing Shotz Okay! You’re not writing about the Mandalorian anymore. You’re writing about the Flash… You can do this. After a one hundred and fifteen thousand years, The Flash is back and it’s a doozy! First off, the recap was very useful. Afterwards we open on Chester monitoring the computers at STAR Labs when Eva shows up so Chester hints a button and brings Barry out of carbon freeze… Wait! That’s something else! Apparently they been keeping Barry in cryo-freeze alongside Ted Williams and Walt Disney to save what little speed he…

REVIEW: Superman & Lois 1×01: Pilot – It’s a Lois and Clark Solo Series, baby!
It’s 2021, y’all, and Lois Lane STILL doesn’t have a solo movie. On the other hand, it’s 2021 and Lois Lane has a co-staring TV Show now! That’s what you call loosing the battle but winning the war. Superman & Lois is the latest take on DC’s man in tights. Part of the Arrowverse, the show was developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti and stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, and Jordan Elsass & Alex Garfin as their sons Jonathan & Jordan. The show has a different feel from most Arrowverse-fare. It’s presented in anamorphic widescreen, making the show look like you’re watching a…

The Mandalorian (2×05 and 2×06)- “The Jedi/The Tragedy” Written by: Dave Filoni (2×05) Jon Favreau (2×06) Directed by: Dave Filoni (2×05) Robert Rodriguez (2×06) So, did anything related to Mandalorian happen while I was away… Hmm, I’m just going to review the next pair of episodes and let that sort itself out. The Jedi We open of some sort of village and it doesn’t look good. Someone’s ringing a big alarm bell and there’s masked troops running to and fro. I wonder what’s happening- That would do it, I reckon. This village seems to have crossed a Jedi with twin lightsabers. White-bladed lightsabers, that’s a new one. The woman in…

SPOILER REVIEW: Limetown (TV series)
When it first hit the scene in 2015, Limetown was the podcast everyone was talking about. It was hip, it was mysterious, it was exciting; part of the first wave of true crime podcasts. What made Limetown unique was that it was fictional, yet oh so close to reality; many listeners were shocked to find out it wasn’t real at all. I reviewed the first season back then and gave it a solid 5/5 stars. Fast forward to 2019, and the series was adapted for television by Facebook Watch and the team at Iron Ocean Productions. While I missed the show during its original run, it recently made its way…

THE MANDALORIAN SPOILER Review: Episodes 2×03 and 2×04- “The Heiress/The Siege”
The Mandalorian (2×03 and 2×04)- “The Heiress/The Siege” Written by: Jon Favreau Directed by: Bryce Dallas Howard (2×03) Carl Weathers (2×04) Episodes three and four, here’s hoping more happens than the last episode. The Heiress The episode opens with the Razor Crest limping to Trask. Mando basically has to drop out of orbit like a rock and then hope his braking thrusters work and it almost works. They land on the pad and then gracefully fall into the ocean. That’s probably going to drive up repair costs. But it’s okay since the Frog woman is happily reunited with her mate. Well that’s good, now maybe Mando can get some answers. …

The Mandalorian (2×01 and 2×02)- “The Marshal/The Passenger” Written by: Jon Favreau Directed by: Jon Favreau (2×01) Peyton Reed (2×02) Oh man! Season Two of the Mandalorian, so much time has passed how will I ever remember everything that happened? Woe is me! The Marshal Season two opens on Mando out of the shadows in a city on the backstreets. He and The Child have come to meet with a being Gor Koresh at an underground fight club (but I can’t talk about that) to get a lead on the whereabouts of other mandalorians. Koresh wants to bet for Mando’s armor, which should be taken as a bad sign and…

THE MANDALORIAN SPOILER Review: Episodes 1×07 and 1×08- “The Reckoning/Redemption”
The Mandalorian (1×07 and 1×08)- “The Reckoning/Redemption” Written by: Jon Favreau Directed by: Deborah Chow (1×07) Taika Waititi (1×08) Time to wrap up Season One… That was fast. The Reckoning Mando’s on the way somewhere when he receives a message from Greef asking for help… Instead of deleting the message like I might (I don’t make the best decisions when I’m angry… or when I’m not angry, spending years Star Trek Voyager alone proves that.) he listens. It seems The Client has brought an Imperial garrison to Nevarro and the crackdown has not only hurt the city but the guild as well. If Mando agrees to come help them break…

But not just any part of Tatooine! He’s going to Mos Eisley! If it was just Tatooine I probably wouldn’t have cared, if it was just Most Eisley I would have let it slide but as soon as the Razor Crest touches…
