The Ongoing Story of Widow’s Bay
Thoughts about the penultimate episode and where the series might go next. (Spoilers)
Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Every Stroke a Bucketful
Two tunes in an almost certainly blasphemous pairing inspired by The Wicker Man and Godspell
The Wicker Man, or, I Love It When a Plan Comes Together
The almost-musical folk horror classic is weird and unique and so close to perfect. (Spoilers)
The Troubled Teens of Widow’s Bay
The series that I already loved for being plot- and story-based reveals it’s been character-driven the whole time. (Spoilers)
I Wish People Got Fairly Compensated
The media is telling a fairy tale about scrappy young indies hitting it big, even though the happier ending isn’t even all that fantastic.
Masters of the Universe, or, He/Him-Man
Masters of the Universe is loud and dumb and colorful and doesn’t need to exist. (Spoilers, I guess?)
Widow’s Bay 8: Bye-bye
Recap of episode 8, which perfectly executes on another horror genre while also demonstrating how mystery series should work (Spoilers)
Why Mark Duplass, Though?
A short (I promise) tangent about the Backrooms movie and the ripple effects that result from adapting a story. (Spoilers)
One Thing I Like About Backrooms
Backrooms is like if you explained creepypasta to a production company that didn’t know what it was, and then asked them to make a movie of it
Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: Pick-Me Boys And Girls
Two tunes for a baffling and a little dispiriting primary election
