  • Send Help (2026) Movie Review
    Jan 26 2026

    In this episode, I review Send Help, the brand-new survival thriller directed by Sam Raimi. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, the film follows two plane-crash survivors stranded on a deserted island where survival becomes a tense and darkly humorous battle of wills.

    I dive into why Send Help is a must-watch — from Raimi’s escalating suspense and visual flair to the strong performances, sharp character dynamics, and Danny Elfman’s score. This is a spoiler-free discussion focused on what makes the film work and why it stands out in Raimi’s career.

    Send Help is now playing exclusively in theaters.

  • Wonder Man is Awesome! | Marvel Television Review
    Jan 23 2026

    Wonder Man is actually pretty good — and easily one of the most unique MCU shows yet.Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man takes a wildly different approach to the MCU, blending superhero storytelling with Hollywood satire in a way that feels like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood meets Atlanta or Barry. And honestly? It works.In this review, I break down why Wonder Man surprised me, from its sharp writing and offbeat tone to its character-driven storytelling and industry commentary. This series feels smaller, stranger, and more confident than recent MCU projects—focused less on world-ending stakes and more on identity, fame, and performance.I dive into the performances, humor, themes, direction, and how Wonder Man fits into the larger MCU. It’s not perfect, but it’s fresh, creative, and proof that Marvel can still take risks when it wants to.Watch my full review and let me know if Wonder Man worked for you!
