JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! After that tense two-parter, we handily clean up our unresolved plot threads by seeing Buffy, Xander, and Willow casually alert the audience that the Court Of Terrakion contract has been cancelled for… reasons. They are also making super hip and timely 1997 references to Captain & Tenille… though that MIGHT have been the joke, and I’m not prepared for … Continue reading JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?!

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

I went into “Marvel the Shell With Shoes On” expecting basically just a long form of his numerous YouTube videos. What I found was a deeply moving, often funny, sometimes tearjerkingly sad, masterpiece of a story. Marcel lives alone with his grandmother after an incident caused the rest of his family and neighbors to vanish one evening. The two share a house and soon find … Continue reading Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

Sometimes There Are 2-Parters: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E9-10

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Buffy, Willow, and Xander are at school filling out a test to decide what kind of job they will be best at. Is this a real thing? I see this in fiction a lot, but my school never did this. Also, it’s apparently optional here, as Buffy notes the principal is making her do it. See, man? This guy … Continue reading Sometimes There Are 2-Parters: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E9-10

Suzume Review

Is it possible to be both a one-trick pony and yet also incredibly versatile with your trick? That’s the question I am left with as I have just watched Makoto Shinkai’s newest offering, Suzume. Of his previous works, I’ve seen his two most famous: 2016’s Your Name., and 2019’s Weathering With You. And here’s the truth of the matter: Shinkai loves doing teenage love stories … Continue reading Suzume Review

Spike Is A Clown: A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E7-8

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Episode 7 kicks off with Drusilla out and about on her own. She acts up a typical Drusilla storm of seeming like she is drugged and would rather be doing anything else in the world than be on set as she gets ready to chow down on a kid she finds waiting for his parents. Angel intervenes to save … Continue reading Spike Is A Clown: A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E7-8

Oh no, Xander Sucks Again: A BtVS Retrospective: S2 Episodes 5-6

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! After having episodes 3 (great!) and 4 (terrible!) back to back, I have no idea what to expect from this show anymore. These two episodes could have quality levels of virtually anything, and I’d be like “Yeah, that makes sense, sure”. I’m very curious as to where we go in this pair. The second season’s fifth episode kicks off … Continue reading Oh no, Xander Sucks Again: A BtVS Retrospective: S2 Episodes 5-6

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We start off in school, and GOD I can’t wait for these kids to graduate and get out of this setting already. Principal Snyder is here with Buffy and another heretofore unseen student named Sheila. According to Snyder, these two are the worst students in SunnyDale… and he is going to expel one of them. So he does what … Continue reading A Promise of Railroad Spikes: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E3-4

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon (The Entire Anime Series) Part 2

My Sailor Moon Story:-Bold statement: Nobody has ever loved anything as teenaged Jab loved Sailor Moon. I LOVED this show when I was in High School. In a time when it was massively uncool for a boy to watch a “show for girls”, I was like openly talking about this to several of my male friends at the time. I remember seeing snippets of it at … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon (The Entire Anime Series) Part 2
