The original two CREEPSHOW films were a dream project for a group of horror icons led by George Romero and Stephen King. The films brought the classic EC horror comics to life in film. Each anthology film featured several shorts written, directed, and often starring icons of horror. The films are highly stylized, with each segment ending in comic book style with vivid colors, comic art, and over the top lighting, and Dutch angles. Both films featured some fantastic short stories and, yes, a few shorts that don’t quite land. That’s kind of the nature of an anthology film or series.

CONVICTING A MURDERER rides the wave of modern-day investigative docuseries, but it navigates through an ocean murkier and more enigmatic than most. The series kickstarts its journey with a profound dive into the shadowy narrative surrounding Steven Avery's case. With its inaugural episode setting the ground, the sixth episode titled "The Key & the License Plate Call" thrusts the narrative into a whirlpool of skepticism and unnerving revelations.

Let's face it; taking a stroll down cinematic memory lane can be a tricky endeavor. Spin-offs are seldom met with consistent praise, but that should change now! Enter THE CONTINENTAL: FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK, which navigates the world of 1970s New York City and leaves us marveling at the grandeur of an old hotel. Instead of just flashing glimpses of familiar sights, the series entices us into the hidden alleys of young Winston Scott's life, portrayed brilliantly by Colin Woodell, as we pull back the curtains of the infamous hotel's enigmatic beginnings.

As we enter the realm of CONVICTING A MURDERER's fifth episode, "Manitowoc's Web," the story unfolds further into an intricate puzzle centering around Steven Avery.

Apple TV+'s THE SUPER MODELS invites viewers on this whirlwind adventure, highlighting how these dazzling divas weren’t just hanging pretty in showrooms but were setting fashion's gold standard.

Dive into the captivating universe of the Roy dynasty with HBO's SUCCESSION. Here, the towering media colossus, Waystar RoyCo, is the stage, and Logan Roy's looming decision to possibly step down is the main event we’re focused on. But brace yourself: this isn't your typical family feud or corporate saga. It's an intricately crafted story of ambition's highs and lows, the ties that bind (or sometimes strangle), and humanity's ever-shifting ethical dance.

The narrative of this true crime story continues to unfold when they transport us through intricate plot paths where every nook and cranny springs a surprise. Episode 4 of CONVICTING A MURDERER: SHIFTING TIMELINES stands tall as a testament to this very art of storytelling.

To be entirely transparent, I’ve only screened the first three episodes of the series, so there are still seven parts to go; my opinions in the following review will be based on the content of those first three episodes and my potential thoughts of where the series may end up. As with most documentaries, I can’t guarantee the content's accuracy; these productions aren’t held to any ethics code. That being said, I was shocked; this genuinely feels (for the most part) like a heartfelt attempt at trying to get to the truth. I haven’t seen the Netflix documentary, so I can’t compare the two and what they agree and disagree on.

Stepping onto the bustling streets of New York City, THE CHANGELING whisks viewers away into a fantastical yet unsettling world. Derived from Victor LaValle's captivating 2017 novel, the series brings the city alive, and the cast is front and center, headlined by the magnetic LaKeith Stanfield and the powerful presence of Clark Backo. The ensemble, further embellished by talents like Adina Porter and others, crafts a journey that includes romantic drama and suspenseful thriller.

With memories of his father's sad demise and concerns about his mother's health, life has thrown him some curveballs. And who's helping him navigate this minefield? His guardian, Aunt Shira, played to perfection by Constance Zimmer.

HARLEY QUINN is still my favorite adult animated series… ever. I don’t say this lightly, as I love SOUTH PARK, RICK AND MORTY, and even classics like DRAWN TOGETHER. So I don’t say that without much thought, but this series brings something others haven’t. They’ve taken an established character that was well known and turned her up to eleven. We all thought, and maybe even assumed, that this is Harley's life behind the scenes, but there’s something special about seeing that unhinged reality unedited.

Lights, camera, action! Step into the intriguing world of WARTIME GIRLS, where the relentless waves of World War II crash against the shores of the human spirit.

With an insider's view, we find ourselves lost in their interwoven narratives, learning about their shared challenges and victories.

This is different from your typical drive through the city. At the wheel, we find Wayne, a middle-aged Uber driver, played by Phillips, who'd prefer to be rated on spiritual breakthroughs than punctuality or driving skills.

For two decades plus, THE VENTURE BROS., an animated marvel birthed by Chris McCulloch (also known as "Jackson Publick") and Doc Hammer for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim, has held a prominent place in the hearts of its viewers. Despite numerous hiatuses between seasons, it's storytelling prowess and superior production value have never ceased to enthrall. Now I had planned to have my coverage up closer to the release date. I had never watched an episode, so I set out on the binge of a lifetime, basically watching Venture Bros. nonstop whenever I wasn’t at work. I had no clue what I was in for, and I can happily say it was the best week of binging I can remember!

RAVING REVIEW: Bringing the clones of CLONE HIGH out of suspended animation is like prying open a vault brimming with nostalgia, storytelling, and humor; the two-decade hiatus seems to have been a pause worth enduring.

This comedy unravels the story of a 70-year-old grandmother's surprise pregnancy and the lives of her grown daughters. I will also mention, for anyone hesitant about subtitles, a half-hour TV show is a beautiful way to dip your toe in the water without committing to a full hour and a half plus movie.

RAVING REVIEW: It's been a few years since PRIMAL's first season captivated its audience and broke new ground in modern adult animation. It's time to see if the second season has managed to step up its game, delivered more of the same, or went backward in quality.

RAVING REVIEW: Hulu's latest venture, SAINT X, is a psychological thriller inspired by Alexis Schaitkin's novel.

While I haven’t read the book, I could feel the roots of what the book would have been in following the series narrative.

This narrative peels back the layers of a seemingly peaceful Wylie, Texas, revealing the sinister undercurrents of infidelity, brutality, and emotional chaos. The series is based on the book "Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs" and a collection of articles from Texas Monthly, which looked into the chilling murder of Betty Gore.

RAVING REVIEW: As any of you who read my reviews regularly know, I don’t dive into spoilers. However, tackling this without the most base-level spoiler possible would be nearly impossible. If you’ve read the synopsis, cast listing, looked at a trailer, poster, etc., this likely won’t be a spoiler but be warned.

RAVING REVIEW: HARRY WILD is a refreshing murder mystery series that hooks you from the start and leaves you looking for more. The extraordinary Jane Seymour, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress, skillfully brings to life the captivating character of a literature professor-turned-amateur detective while also taking on the role of co-executive producer.

Adapted from a best-selling novel, this creative work is the brainchild of Laura Dave (author) and Josh Singer.

RAVING REVIEW: FINDING JOY, a hilarious comedy series, showcases the versatile Amy Huberman as a journalist who unintentionally becomes a social media influencer. With its meta take on comedy, captivating character dynamics, and the unique humor brought by Joy's dog (yep, you read that right,) the show never ceases to amuse its audience. This is incredibly random, and I don’t have a lot to back up my theory but there was something about this series that just stuck with me, especially season one. It felt like had Ellen Muth’s character from the series DEAD LIKE ME “George” didn’t become a grim reaper, this would’ve been her adult life. This is in spirit only since they are in no way connected and George isn’t Irish either.

RAVING REVIEW: JANE celebrates the remarkable legacy of the eminent primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall. Known as a leading chimpanzee expert, Goodall dedicated six decades to exploring these primates' social and family dynamics in their natural habitat.

RAVING REVIEW: As a passionate film and television enthusiast, I recently discovered the enthralling universe of THE GOOD FIGHT. I have yet to venture into its precursor, THE GOOD WIFE.

RAVING REVIEW: SWARM, an innovative television series created by Janine Nabers and Donald Glover, boldly steps into the life of a dedicated fan of a famous pop star, addressing themes like race, queerness, and stan culture. The show's ambitious nature is praiseworthy, taking chance after chance in an experience, unlike anything I’ve had before.

RAVING REVIEW: Welcome to PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: ORIGINAL SIN, the newest teen horror genre franchise addition. The show is set in Millwood, Pennsylvania, where a group of girls is haunted by an unknown assailant seeking vengeance for past sins.

As someone who has never seen any previous entries in the franchise, ORIGINAL SIN is a welcoming starting point to this world, and I never felt lost.

RAVING REVIEW: A new series that focuses on the darker side of the world of Playboy. Taking a look into the world that larger went unexplored, we get to see the stories behind the faces of this giant. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this, but I was hooked after watching the first episode. I can’t wait to see the other stories unfold.

RAVING REVIEW: Season two of HOW I MET YOUR FATHER is climbing at a quick pace! The comedic timing is improving, and the cast is starting to gel. We’ve already had a big tease to tie into HIMYM, and I think as long as they keep those to a minimum, it’ll be fantastic. I’ve only screened the first six episodes, but if you’re interested in hearing my thoughts on the rest of the season as they become available, let me know.

RAVING REVIEW: Sometimes, you don’t know what you’re missing until you give it a chance. That was the case here, I’m a self-proclaimed geek, nerd, dork, etc., but I had never dipped my toy into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. This experience proved to me how wrong I was for not doing that sooner!

RAVING REVIEW: If you weren’t alive in the mid-80s through the early 90s, you might not have heard of this top-rated sitcom that ran for nine seasons. Although it ran in syndication on A&E, TV Land, Encore, and Laff, who knows?

RAVING REVIEW: If you liked AMC’s ANNE RICE’S INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, get ready for more gothic tales in that same world. The Anne Rice Immortal Universe is AMC’s answer to the world-building that’s become so popular (see The Marvel Cinematic Universe.)

RAVING REVIEW: I’m still not entirely sure what I just watched; I can’t write this review without some spoilers, so even though I’ll try to keep them to a minimum, I must at least put that warning out there.

RAVING REVIEW: If you’ve seen the Christmas and Halloween backing shows, you’ll feel at home here. While the idea may not be entirely original, the addition of the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss adds an undeniably fun element to the show.

RAVING REVIEW: As I write this, I’m still filled with anger, sorrow, and heartbreak for those that have fallen victim to this predatory organization that uses the guise of a religious organization to prey on so many.

RAVING REVIEW: Do you want more PITCH PERFECT with a twist of a little more Bumper (Adam Devine)? Then you’re in luck!

RAVING REVIEW: What do you get when a murderer wears the corpse of one of its most prominent victims? A series about the last surviving Blockbuster released by the company helped put the nail in their coffin.

RAVING REVIEW: A series worth your time if you get the opportunity. A lukewarm start quickly expands into one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve seen this year.

There have been many ups and A LOT of downs in the history of Chucky on film; the same can now be said about his time on the small screen. I feel like I should start by saying that this series doesn’t quite know who its audience is. On the one hand, you have a character created in the late 80s starring in a series made in 2021, while on the other, the show-runner is trying to recreate this character and his world for a new audience.

Normally I would hesitate to review a series until all of the episodes of that season have been released. In this case, only two episodes are available to stream with additional episodes being released each Friday. I feel that this is an exception to the rule though, WandaVision is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, at least in some senses.
