It’s Not Like He’s Saving the World or Anything | True Lies (1994) HD Streaming Comparisons

True Lies (1994)

One of the biggest blockbuster hits of 1994, and a movie still well-remembered and well-liked by most viewers almost three decades later, True Lies is a sad case of a piece of popular art that has fallen victim to its creator’s indifference toward it. Now seventeen years into the Blu-ray era, True Lies remains absent… Read More It’s Not Like He’s Saving the World or Anything | True Lies (1994) HD Streaming Comparisons

Androids Do Not Have Fun | Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) 4K Ultra HD

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

You’d think that by its ninth feature film, the Star Trek franchise might have found some sense of consistency or had a clue how to build off the success of its biggest box office hit at the time (1996’s quite good Star Trek: First Contact). Sadly, that wasn’t at all the case. The next big-screen… Read More Androids Do Not Have Fun | Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) 4K Ultra HD

Follow the Light | Star Wars: Visions Season 2 (2023) on Disney+

Star Wars: Visions season 2

Star Wars: Visions is a really great idea that, unfortunately, didn’t quite come together during its first season in 2021. Honestly, the first batch of episodes were mostly duds. Two years later, the series returns with an expanded focus that thankfully yields some improvement. The second season has a higher ratio of good, or at… Read More Follow the Light | Star Wars: Visions Season 2 (2023) on Disney+

One Ambassador’s Plenty | The Diplomat Season 1 (2023) on Netflix

The Diplomat (2023)

The Netflix binge model, while obviously very appealing to viewers frustrated with the traditional weekly TV schedule, can sometimes do a disservice to shows that need time to build buzz and public awareness. The streamer’s terrific new political drama The Diplomat, for example, barely premiered two weeks ago yet already seems to have fallen out… Read More One Ambassador’s Plenty | The Diplomat Season 1 (2023) on Netflix

This Is No Time to Argue About Time | Star Trek: First Contact (1996) 4K Ultra HD

Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

That Star Trek: First Contact is, without question, the best of the Next Generation crew’s feature films may lead to it being a bit overrated. This cast is so beloved from their years on television that fans desperately wanted (and still want) them to have at least one great movie as well. Personally, I’ve always… Read More This Is No Time to Argue About Time | Star Trek: First Contact (1996) 4K Ultra HD

Every Orgasm All at Once | Slip (2023) Roku Channel Limited Series

Slip (2023)

The Roku Channel debuting its new multiverse-hopping dramedy Slip soon after Everything Everywhere All at Once won the Best Picture Oscar, and as both Marvel and DC hype upcoming comic book blockbusters on the same theme, could be either a blessing or a curse. In the show’s favor, multiverses are, like, so hot right now,… Read More Every Orgasm All at Once | Slip (2023) Roku Channel Limited Series

Hope Is Never Lost | Star Trek: Picard Series Finale (2023) on Paramount+

Star Trek: Picard Series Finale (2023)

Endings can be a very tricky thing to get right, especially the third time around. After seven seasons on the air, Star Trek: The Next Generation bid a satisfying farewell to television in the 1994 series finale episode, All Good Things. Unfortunately, the crew’s subsequent feature film career mostly underwhelmed. In fact, their last outing… Read More Hope Is Never Lost | Star Trek: Picard Series Finale (2023) on Paramount+

The Goddamn State Is Shaped Like a Gun! | Florida Man (2023) Netflix Limited Series

Florida Man (2023)

When trying to imagine a visual metaphor that defines the essence of the state of Florida, the image of an alligator rising to the surface of a lake carrying a gun on its back just about nails it. I wish I had thought of it. That scene actually happens in an early episode of Netflix’s… Read More The Goddamn State Is Shaped Like a Gun! | Florida Man (2023) Netflix Limited Series

It’s Gonna Be Different This Year | Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) Paramount+ Series Premiere

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023)

Revisited a much-loved pop landmark from the heart of the Baby Boomer era with a pointedly more diverse cast and a stronger focus on the female point-of-view, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies feels like it was explicitly (if not expressly) designed to inflame our current culture wars and drive the anti-“woke” crowd absolutely insane… Read More It’s Gonna Be Different This Year | Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) Paramount+ Series Premiere
