I love when you can watch a new movie and directly trace its influences back to other films that you have always loved. But more on that in the Ups and Downs segment of this review for reasons I will get into soon… Coming out on 9/23/2025 to Screambox, we have the new horror flick The Draft!–and yes, the exclamation point is part of the … Continue reading The Draft! Review
After my defense of Phase Four, we still find ourselves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Post-Endgame world. And this will be my last Ranking The Franchise for the MCU for quite some time; Phase Six’s culmination is nowhere in sight in the near future yet! So enjoy this article while it lasts. After two straight [at least somewhat] extended phases, the MCU returned here to … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Five
Chapter 20 Most people, when confronted with a sound they could only recognize as explosions, run as far away as possible. Explosions imply destruction, damage, injury, and death; to the layperson, those are four things that are to be avoided at all costs. A person with a semblance of sanity and reason would hear explosions from over a dozen miles away and do everything in … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 20

Well, here it is: the dreaded “Post-Endgame” Marvel Cinematic Universe that we all hear so much about. With the, admittedly exemplary, third phase of the MCU in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look at just how the cinematic juggernaut shook out in its wake. And let’s be very real about two things here before we start: First, Phase Three, as we examined, was top-to-bottom … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Four
Is the 1980’s the best decade for cinema? I’m not saying it is, or that I agree with the sentiment. But I know a lot of folks that would support the notion. It’s a decade full of beloved classics and tons of nostalgic gems. And I’m not going to lie; there’s a lot of comfort food there for me as someone who was born in … Continue reading The Breakfast Club Review
Chapter 19 Chispa waited in silence on the other side of the sitrus bush. She stretched out her front paws and lowered her head and shoulders to the ground as she surveyed her prey, who was helplessly unaware of where she had vanished to. The lowering of her front end was countered by the raising of her hindquarters and tail, both of which wiggled with … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 19
It’s time to review another movie coming to Screambox, as we take a look today at the Brazilian horror feature, A Mother’s Embrace, which will be dropping on the service on 9/16/2025! A Mother’s Embrace is directed by Cristian Ponce, and it starts off in the childhood of our protagonist, Ana. She and her mother start off at home–where her mom makes Ana guzzle down … Continue reading A Mother’s Embrace Review
After reviewing the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you almost get the feeling someone behind the scenes messed up when it came to Phase Three. Phase One and Phase Two, as you may recall from my recent reviews of them, were each six movies long. So when we dive into Phase Three, we find out that it is… almost twice as big?! … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Three
One hundred and fifty-seven episodes into the podcast before we finally covered Iron Man, the progenitor of the MCU? That’s wild! But tune in as Tommy from the Haven’t Scene It podcast joins the Order to see how good it was when the MCU kicked off. For more from Haven’t Scene It, click HERE. Continue reading Episode 157: Iron Man
Chapter 18 Floaroma Town was barely an outskirt of a suburb, a small stopover village nestled in the woods at the bottom of Mount Coronet. In comparison, Celestic Town may well have been a bustling center of trade. But where Celestic was surrounded by perpetual mountain haze, looming pine trees, and a jagged, knife-like terrain that combined to cause Sam to fear for his life … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 18
Every so often, you find a movie that doesn’t quite belong on the streaming service on which you find it. To that end, my wife and I just watched the 1999 film Jawbreaker… on Shudder. The same Shudder that specializes in horror offerings. And it was showing the black comedy film Jawbreaker. It didn’t make loads of sense, but that’s where we found it. Every … Continue reading Above The Knee Review
With Phase One in the rear view mirror for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, success was already well in hand for the burgeoning juggernaut. After a stellar start in Iron Man, they may have had a few mid-level follow-ups, but The Avengers proved there was a voracious desire to see more from Marvel. So how would they fare with their next several offerings? It was time … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Two
I do so love these Blast From The Past reviews where I take a look back at films from all different timeframes of cinema. I’ve done the very recent history with movies like La La Land, and I’ve gone back to the beginning of Hollywood with flicks like The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari. Today, I’m going back, but not TOO terribly far, as this is … Continue reading Excalibur (1981) Review
Chapter 17 Sam, for as displeased as he was to have been back on the sea once again, was at least happy he’d made it through the ferry ride to Canalave without Barry’s Monferno tossing anybody overboard. The ferry had a prominently posted notice asking riders to keep their pokemon contained (“for their own safety and the safety of the rest of our guests”, the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 17
