Film Review: John Wick: Chapter 4
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation When we catch up with John Wick at the start of his fourth chapter, it’s the first time in the series that there is a clear jump ahead in time. Wick is still scarred, but he isn’t limping around as much anymore. He’s instead in hiding, waiting for his next…

Film Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation D&D is in such a strange position in pop culture at the moment. Even beyond it’s current controversies involving Hasbro and their treatment of third party OGL, the franchise at large is sitting at the verge of mainstream recognition and popularity but just isn’t quite there yet. With the success…

TV Review: The Last of Us, Episode 5
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation Where do we start here? Do we start with Henry and Sam’s tragic story – a story that, as Kathleen says in the episode, is arguably fate? Do we start with Kathleen’s own motivations, which have become twisted and warped in by trauma, survivor’s guilt, and fear of that which…

TV Review: The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 2
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation One of the small things about The Mandalorian that has been lingering the background of my mind since the first season is how little of it is actually about The Mandalorian. This seems like a weird thing to say, as Din is the lead character and the focus of the…

TV Review: The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 1
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation And we are back! After a nearly three year wait (kind of, more on that in a second), The Mandalorian has reached our TV screens once again.

By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Remember COVID-19? Ok hear me out. I know referencing that in the start of a Star Wars review sounds weird as hell but it has a purpose. While we are still in the middle of said pandemic (and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon), 2020 was the…

TV Review: The Mandalorian Season 1 – Mega Review
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation It has been over 3 years since the first season of The Mandalorian first aired back in late 2019 as the first real “killer app” for Disney+. In fact, Disney was so confident in The Mandalorian as their big show that they launched the service with the program premiering on…

Film Review: Cocaine Bear
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation The only question that is going through your mind when asking yourself “should I see Cocaine Bear” is whether or not like the words “cocaine” and “bear” in the same sentence. If so, then honestly, you don’t really need this review cause you are probably interested and seeing it anyways.…

Film Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
By Matthew Moorcroft Unsure Um… what? Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania feels like it should be better then it actually is. It’s filled to the brim with cool ideas and wicked imagery, fully taking advantage of the “Tales to Astonish” serial origins of it’s character and Steve Ditko’s playful yet completely earnest designs. Sure, it…

By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation About partway through this episode of The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie are attacked by a group of what they assume to be raiders. Joel tries to fend them off while Ellie goes into hiding, but Joel is cornered and nearly chocked to death. Ellie comes to his rescue…
