Dexter Original Sin: Code Blues

"What kind of monster are you?"

That's the question this first season has been asking.

Jaws 2

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."

Okay, so this isn't an actual line of dialogue, but how could I not include arguably the most famous tagline in movie history?

Today is the 50th anniversary of Jaws. But seeing as I already reviewed it last year, today we'll celebrate by reviewing its first (and best) sequel.

Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 12)

"Stories don't care who takes part in them. All that matters is that the story gets told, that the story repeats. Or, if you prefer to think of it like this: stories are a parasitical life form, warping lives in the service only of the story itself."

Our favorite coven of witches is back, and they're going to be dealing with the most terrifying thing they've ever encountered, traveling to foreign lands!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

"We continue."

Reviews touting this as one of the best games ever made are common, and this is one of them. But I'll go one further. It transcends the format and is arguably one of the best experiences I've ever had in a media presentation. Did that get your attention?

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 11)

"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life is only the core of their actual existence."

Discworld book eleven is also the second book in the Death arc. What happens when Death is fired by the auditors of reality? This book answers that question, while being funny and thought provoking about such things as Sir Terry always is.

Resident Alien: The Alien Within

I can save the world with my butt?
You have to. It's your destiny.

Episode description: “Ben struggles to get the townspeople to accept the resort, while Harry and Asta find out the origins of Goliath.”

Rogue One After Andor

This article will discuss the narrative and emotional impact of watching Rogue One after finishing the series Andor.

Contains spoilers for Andor, Rogue One and other completed Star Wars projects!

X-Men (2000)

"We are the future, Charles, not them! They no longer matter!"

Despite being one of the biggest comic publishers in the industry with some of the most iconic heroes, Marvel long struggled to successfully bring those same characters to the big screen. They had a few hits on TV with The Incredible Hulk and some animated series, but its movies were routinely terrible, low budget embarrassments like Captain America, The Punisher, Howard the Duck, and the Fantastic Four movie that Roger Corman made for tuppence just to hold onto the screen rights and never released. But then one movie changed all that, gave Marvel the critical and commercial hit it had long craved and set them on the path towards becoming a giant of the industry.

And that film was... Blade.

Oh, and a few years later X-Men came out and did okay.

Shark Warning!

"We can't have a fishing tournament without any fish, and there are plenty of them just outside the dam."

I really wasn’t expecting a lot here. Any movie that has punctuation in its title is worthy of skepticism, especially if the punctuation is an exclamation mark.

But this was a surprisingly fun time.

Mobland: Season One Review

Mobland is a Guy Ritchie-produced gangster soap opera set in London starring Tom Hardy. Sadly, it is not quite A Tom Hardy Show. Mobland is bingeable, mildly forgettable, and worth watching if you’re already subscribed to Paramount+ for something else.

Mad Max: Fury Road

"WITNESS ME!"

This souped-up monster truck of a movie recently had its ten year anniversary, and I happened to notice we do not have a review for it. I'd like to fix that.

Doctor Who: The Reality War

"Well, now you're going too far."

OK, that was a lot. And then a second helping of 'a lot.' With 'a lot' sprinkles on top.

You just know there's about to be a spoiler manatee.
