I've got some pretty strong opinions about Spider-Man movies, so after revisiting all nine live-action films, I'm ranking every single one of them from S to D tier. From Sam Raimi's original trilogy to Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man movies and Tom Holland's MCU films, including Brand New Day, we're talking about the best villains, the worst writing decisions, and what...

Clayface is one of the most disgusting movies I've seen in a while, and I mean that as a compliment. Between the disturbing body horror, some genuinely creative uses of Clayface's powers, and the sheer amount of stuff that made me want to look away, this movie really knows how to make its audience uncomfortable. And while I don't know if I'll ever want to watch it again, I have to...

Battlefront III might finally be happening, and somehow my first reaction still isn’t excitement. It’s wondering whether this one will actually make it to release. Star Wars has spent years announcing movies, trilogies, and games that get cancelled, stalled, completely reshaped, or left sitting in development limbo. Rian Johnson’s trilogy, Rogue Squadron, Taika Waititi’s movie, Star Wars Eclipse,...

Game of Thrones has one of the deepest casts in television, which made narrowing this down to just ten characters way harder than I expected. So instead of trying to make some definitive ranking of the “best written” characters, these are simply my ten favorites. I’m talking about what made me love them, their best arcs and moments, where some of them fell off, and why characters like The Hound, T...

James Gunn recently defended DC’s decision to make a Clayface movie even though basically nobody was asking for one, and I think he’s right about more of that argument than I expected. Fans shouldn’t get to vote on what artists are allowed to make, especially when some of the best franchise projects ever made were things nobody knew they wanted. But working inside Star Wars, Marvel, DC, or any oth...

Battle of the Bastards is one of the coolest episodes Game of Thrones ever made, but the more I think about how the battle actually works, the less any of it makes sense. The Knights of the Vale somehow reach Winterfell without Ramsay knowing, Sansa keeps potentially battle-changing information from Jon, and one of Jon Snow’s biggest failures barely affects him going forward. In this video, I brea...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer understands something that Star Wars games sometimes forget: not everything needs to be a massive, galaxy-spanning adventure. Sometimes I just want to be a ridiculous alien going dangerously fast. With great racing mechanics, a refreshing sense of simplicity, and the same chaotic energy that made podracing in The Phantom Menace so memorable, Galactic Racer is shaping up t...

I went into Lanterns knowing basically nothing about Green Lantern, and somehow the show made me care through a relationship between two people who barely seem to like each other at first. In this video, I break down why Hal Jordan and John Stewart work so well together, why Hal being a terrible teacher actually helps introduce the Green Lantern world, why the smaller scale mostly works, where the...

The Salamanca Twins are supposed to be some of the most intimidating characters in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul , but I’ve always thought the exact opposite. The matching suits, synchronized movements, silence, and constant “aura” make them feel more forced than threatening. In this video, I break down why Marco and Leonel are easily my least favorite Salamancas, why characters like Tuco, Hec...

George Lucas has spent decades changing the original Star Wars trilogy, and while some of those changes absolutely made the movies worse, I still think he was right to keep revisiting them. In this video, I go through the Special Editions, from Jabba and Hayden Christensen to Greedo shooting first, Vader’s added dialogue, Jedi Rocks, Victory Celebration, and the bigger question underneath all of i...

Luke Skywalker should have been the one Jedi capable of building something better than the Order that came before him. But when Grogu becomes his student, Luke gives him a choice between continuing his Jedi training or returning to Din, recreating the same kind of false choice his own life should have taught him to reject. In this video, I look at why the Jedi were right to fear attachment, where...

Marvel brought Avengers: Endgame back to theaters with new footage designed to connect it to Avengers: Doomsday. Somehow, depending on which version you pay for, you don't even get all of it. In this video, I talk about why Endgame Encore feels less like meaningful buildup and more like Marvel retroactively stapling its next story onto a movie that already had a perfectly good ending. From the...

Ned Stark judged Jaime Lannister for breaking his oath to the Mad King, but the more you look at both characters, the more ironic that judgment becomes. Ned eventually finds himself in a situation where loyalty to his king comes into conflict with protecting someone he loves, and he makes almost the exact same kind of choice Jaime did years earlier. The difference is that Ned never learns the trut...

I went into Resident Evil knowing almost nothing about the games, and somehow walked out feeling like I had just played one. This movie understands something a lot of video game adaptations miss. It is not enough to recreate the monsters, weapons, rooms, and references. What made Resident Evil work for me was the way it constantly takes away every reasonable option until the protagonist is forced...

I loved Obsession , but somehow the conversation around it became almost entirely about proving that you understand Bear is the villain. In this video I talk about what actually makes Bear interesting, why his cowardice becomes something genuinely evil, why Freaky Nikki is still hilarious, why Nikki becoming a horror icon does not misunderstand the movie, and why the ambiguity around her relations...

Ned Stark is remembered as the honorable man who was simply too good for the world of Game of Thrones, but I don’t think his honor is actually what got him killed. Throughout Season 1, Ned repeatedly proves that his family matters more to him than his reputation. He lets the world believe he betrayed Catelyn to protect Jon, warns Cersei because he refuses to endanger her children, and eventually d...

Tony Stark became the MCU’s mentor for Peter Parker, but I think Captain America would have been a much better fit. Steve Rogers understands responsibility, sacrifice, and doing the right thing even when it destroys your own life. Those are basically the foundations of Spider-Man. So what if Civil War had put Peter on Steve’s side instead? In this video, I break down why Captain America’s philosop...

Boba Fett became one of the most iconic Star Wars characters despite barely speaking in the original trilogy. The problem with The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t that it finally showed us the man under the helmet — it’s that the man we got barely felt like the same character. In this video, I look at what made Boba Fett work with so little screen time, how The Mandalorian , The Clone Wars and Jedi: Surv...

I watched Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in 70mm, so naturally I have some thoughts. From the casting and performances to the visuals, dialogue, mythological elements, and some adaptation choices that really did not work for me, here’s my completely unfiltered reaction to the movie. There’s a lot here that I genuinely loved — and quite a bit that drove me insane.#TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #70m...

The first real look at the new Harry Potter TV series is here, and I’m not sold. Some of it looks almost identical to the movies, while the rest feels strangely generic, flat, and sanitized. In this video, I break down the trailer’s dull color grading, stiff performances, confused visual identity, and why this reboot still hasn’t shown me what it can do that the original films couldn’t. Maybe the...

Season 5 Rick looks more like Shane than ever — paranoid, violent, convinced everyone around him is too weak to survive. But looking like Shane and becoming Shane are two very different things. This video breaks down what Shane actually understood about the apocalypse, the pattern behind his “hard choices,” why his obsession with Lori and Carl doesn’t fully explain him, and how Alexandria gives Ri...

I’ve never really understood the appeal of Superman. He always seemed too powerful, too perfect, and honestly kind of boring. Then I finally watched James Gunn’s Superman. And while I definitely didn’t love everything about the movie, it completely changed the way I look at the character. Turns out Superman works a lot better when he can get hurt, make mistakes, annoy everyone around him, and stil...

I love Subnautica 2. That's exactly why I think I need to stop playing it. The game already nails so much of what made the original Subnautica special: exploration, isolation, terrifying leviathans, and that constant feeling that something incredible or horrifying could be just beyond the next trench. I played through the Early Access content solo, again in co-op, and somehow ended up building...

Jean Grey has been one of the biggest points of controversy surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with a lot of people arguing that Marvel forced her into Peter Parker's story just to set up the X-Men. And while I think the MCU has absolutely made that mistake with Spider-Man before, I don't think Jean is the problem this time. In this video, I break down why Jean's powers, trauma, an...

The Walking Dead is my favorite show of all time. So hearing that the franchise could potentially continue until 2040 honestly makes me more frustrated than excited. I love The Walking Dead. I love Rick Grimes. I’ve defended the later seasons, I genuinely enjoy parts of Season 7, and I still think there was plenty of great storytelling left after Rick disappeared. But at some point, the franchise...
