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.

Review: Castlevania Season 2
Together with a speaker magician named Sypha Bellnandes, and Dracula’s own son Alucard, Trevor goes back to his former home to prepare the battle against the lord of darkness. When the news dropped that the four-episode long adaptation of one of Konami’s beloved franchises, yours truly got excited like a child on Christmas. For me, the first season was a strong appetizer, that made me wish for more. Months go by, and when the date arrives, you could find me outside the internet cafe, consuming the entire menu. So what did I think of it? Well, in short, I loved it. Trevor Bellmont continues to be the cynical bastard that…
