REVIEW: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

AlexGherzo | Dec 17, 2021 | 2

Spider-Man: No Way Home had me worried from the start. I’d enjoyed Spidey’s previous MCU films very much, and while I haven’t cared for some of the changes made to his lore, I had faith that it was leading somewhere and decided to go with it. Then, they announced that the third movie would inv...

That it incorporates the central characters and plot elements f...

I know I’m about a month late to the game, but I just finished the Netflix League of Legends series Arcane. I didn’t know anything about the game and had thought it would be similar to World of Warcraft, with all the traditional fantasy trappings that the title Arcane suggests. My assumptions en...

REVIEW: Hawkeye – Episode 4 “Partners, Am I Right?”

AlexGherzo | Dec 8, 2021 | 0

Every so often, a show will deliver an episode that, though unintentionally, perfectly encapsulates the series as a whole. “Partners, Am I Right?” is that for Hawkeye, at least so far. It gives the characters a breather after last week’s action-heavy episode, and while a few meaningful moments...
