Blog: 98th Oscars Catch-Up
So with the 98th Oscars upon us, a significant chunk of the nominated films I have either already written reviews for, Sinners, One Battle After Another, Hamnet, or they made it into my Best of 2025 list, Frankenstein, Marty Supreme, and Bugoina.

Blog: Whole Bloody Affair musings

Blog: Trippin’ ’round the Spider-Verse
I’ve been spinning the dial of the various Spider-Man animated series as a lead-up to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (and reposted my Into the Spider-Verse review here).
