TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 3) on Apple TV+
What a ride. While parts 1 and 2 of Masters of the Air were a bit of an introduction to the characters and a warm-up to how the 100th Bomber Group operated during World War II, part 3 is nothing less than the equivalent of the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan, dropping the […]
TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 1 & 2) on Apple TV+
If you were around during the late ‘90s and early 2000s, you’ll probably recall the massive influx of World War II video games and movies that suddenly became prevalent. Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms, Enemy at the Gates, Windtalkers, U-571…a full list would take up an entire page. While WWII as […]
Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E10 “International Break”
Catharsis. I feel like I’ve used that word a bit when talking about Ted Lasso, but ultimately, it’s the best term I can use to describe most of the episodes.

Television Review: Ted Lasso S3E4 “Big Week”
“I’m a work in progmess.” Me too, Ted. Me too. Well, as evidenced by the title of the episode, “Big Week,” this is it. The big anticipated matchup between AFC Richmond and West Ham. Ted vs. Nate the Wonder Kid with first place on the line. And that’s the storyline that dominates much of the […]
Movie Review: TETRIS Starring Taron Egerton, Toby Jones, Sofya Lebedeva
Let’s face it: video game-to-film adaptations don’t have the best track record. For every Sonic or Detective Pikachu, there are a half-dozen adaptations that are best left unremembered. Super Mario Bros., Battleship, every Uwe Boll movie ever made…the list goes on. Some recent TV series have given us hope (The Last of Us was absolutely […]
Movie Review: RAYMOND AND RAY Starring Ewan McGregor, Ethan Hawke
How do you say goodbye to someone you hate? I mean, in most cases, you don’t. If you see them in public, you’ll likely try to avoid them, unless you’re in a pugilistic mood and feel like confronting them. But what if that person is your father, and he’s passed away and specifically requested you […]
Movie Review: CHERRY Starring Tom Holland, Ciara Bravo, Jack Reynor
Coming off their massively-successful achievement of Avengers: Endgame, the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) release their latest film to Apple TV+ on March 12. Cherry, based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Nico Walker, follows the titular character (based on Walker’s real-life experiences) as he navigates his life pre and post-military service, […]
