Back a few years ago when the first season of Cobra Kai hit Youtube Red, it was a certified hit. Sure, it hit all the nostalgic notes, but it also managed to produce something totally new without a reboot. It sparked my interest, but I never wanted to pay for the subscription. Then it moved to Netflix for its upcoming third season and the show made my shortlist! Being a fan of The Karate Kid, I had decent expectations for this show.

Album Review: The 1975 – Notes on a Conditional Form
I was taking stock of my CD collection the other day and came to the realization that I hadn’t yet taken the time to listen to The 1975’s latest release, Notes on a Conditional Form, which hit shelves this past May after some delay. Yes, originally this album was to serve as sort of a sister album to A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships and be released last year, but got delayed almost a whole year after the fact.
Read moreBig Sky – Episodes 3 & 4 Recap
Alright, I clearly suck at watching this show in a timely manner, but I promise I’ll do better! Even though there is only one more episode of Big Sky set to air before its “winter break,” I still promise to have it reviewed on Wednesday! I swear it!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Avatar
It’s hard to believe how many times I’ve seen Avatar in concert without drawing them. Until this year that is! Yes, I did a very rare colored drawing of the entire band earlier this year, but this recent magazine cover caught my eye and immediately knew I had to draw it. Back to my standard black pen drawings, but it looks pretty darn cool. Also, this could totally be in honor of the four part concert stream the band has going on in January!
Read moreBlack Narcissus Miniseries Review
A couple of weeks ago, FX premiered an excellent British drama called Black Narcissus, and I was hooked from the start. I was actually quite sad that it was only three parts. In an interesting move on FX’s part, all three episodes aired back to back. I didn’t watch these live, so it had no impact on me, but I still thought it was an interesting move.
Read moreAnother Round Film Review
As a die-hard fan of Hannibal, I have been obsessively trying to get my hands on Mads Mikkelsen’s latest film, Another Round. This Danish film has been getting lots of love and critical acclaim since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s also been entered as Demark’s entry into the 93rd Academy Awards!
Read moreBook Review: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
What can I say? I’ve been somewhat enthralled with Shirley Jackson this year and I have no reasons why! Perhaps I’ve just really been in the mood for some spooky stuff. It’s been a while, but I did watch the film adaptation of We Have Always Lived in the Castle that starred Taissa Farmiga, Alexandra Daddario, Sebastian Stan, and Crispin Glover last year. It was a really interesting film, so I’ve been eager to compare how it stacked up against its source material.
Read moreEscape at Dannemora Miniseries Review
Back in 2018 when this highly praised miniseries, Escape at Dannemora, came out I had watched the first two episodes because, you know, free Showtime. After that, it just sort of fell off my radar. I knew with the caliber of actors in the show that it would do well during awards season, and it did! Sometimes that’s all I need to know. Also, the show itself wasn’t that big of a mystery since it was based on real life events that took place only a few years prior.
Read moreBrand New Movies!
To be fair, I have been watching new movies, but to clarify, this weekend I watched a few potential Oscar contenders, along with some other new movies! This is exciting stuff people! With the Oscars getting pushed back to April, there is more time for contenders to release, which means I have to wait until next year for a good chunk of them. That’s why it’s exciting to get to see some now!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Richard Reed Parry
To say I’ve been obsessed with Arcade Fire this year would be an understatement, but I don’t know how else to describe it. With words, anyways. I always find that I can express my passion for entertainment and artistry with my own artistry. And sometimes it pays off! Richard Reed Parry, the enigmatic guitarist of Arcade Fire saw this an liked it! That makes my heart so happy. So anyways, enjoy 🙂
