One of my favorite shows is Mr. Robot, and at one point near the end of the show, a song was used in a cold open that fit so perfectly; a song that I quickly became obsessed with: “Turn Up the Radio” by OK Go.
I’ll admit, I’m not a gamer by any means, so I had no prior knowledge on the Fallout games, so I went into the TV adaptation with no expectations. I was instantly enthralled. The cast is stellar, and the hook with the world as we know it essentially ending and dealing with figurative and literal fallout many, many years later, was captivating.
For decades and decades, people have sat each other down to watch The Wizard of Oz; while playing Pink Floyd’s album, Dark Side of the Moon. On the third roar of the MGM lion, you hit play on the album, and the music almost perfectly syncs with the movie. It’s as if it were all on purpose.
The trailer for Hulu’s Interior Chinatown has come out recently — it stars Jimmy O. Yang as Willis Wu, along with Ronny Chieng, and Agents of SHIELD Chloe Bennet. The show’s creator and showrunner is Charles Yu, who wrote for various television shows — oh, and he’s also the author of Interior Chinatown. The director for the first episode is Taika Waititi, of fan-favorite Thor: Ragnorok and fan-hated Thor: Love and Thunder.
I wasn’t in the know until I saw Kaos pop up when I put on Netflix; and seeing Jeff Goldblum starring as Zeus was enough to more than pique my interest. It was a comedic modern take on Greek myths and it seemed to almost play out a Shakespeare play. Almost. (more…)
I remember the excitement my friends and I felt when the first trailer dropped for the Power Rangers movie. We — just like all children — were huge fans of the show, and were surprised and gleefully throwing punches and kicks at imaginary putties. Not only was there an upcoming film, but it still starred the actors we know and love. (more…)
There were a lot of copycats back when Power Rangers was new and at its peak. One such TV show was Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. It starred Matthew Lawrence as Servo, a superhero who looked eerily similar to Ultraman.
The year was 1994. (more…)
For everyone who knows me, I obviously stan for Zack Snyder. I adore the cinematography in his films, but I do understand that his work is divisive. And that’s part of the reason why I enjoy his work so much. He doesn’t keep things safe or stay in his comfort zone. The guy likes exploring and experimenting. And it always sparks emotion and conversation. And to me, that is art.
