SCREAMBOX Original horror series The Trouble with Tessa debuts with a two-episode premiere on July 15. The show follows a disgraced documentarian who unearths a box of old tapes and sets out to unravel the dark secrets buried in a seemingly perfect town’s past. It’s been a while since I got to review a Screambox television series. I do love when they send me movies … Continue reading The Trouble With Tessa Preview
It’s not too often that I watch TV shows. They are such a large commitment! You have to contribute many hours of your time across several episodes of a show, and the payoff is, what? That there might be another season some two or three years later these days? Where you can watch more episodes after having already forgotten everything that happened on the previous … Continue reading Tales From The Void Preview
As I write this, we are just a few hours out from the tragic death of Michelle Trachtenberg. She was just 39 years old, and she has no business no longer being with us at such a young age.

Before you enjoy this article, take a moment of silence for … Continue reading Rest In Peace Michelle Trachtenberg: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E11

Buffy is aghast, which makes virtually no sense … Continue reading DARE To Keep Kids Off Magic!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E10

He asks Buffy if she wants to help get his rocks off, but she declines and … Continue reading Mr. Chen, Child Prodigy: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E9

She doesn’t appear … Continue reading Bunnymania!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E8
Okay, here is the episode I keep hearing so much about, so let’s get into it. “Once More With Feeling” kicks off with an old-timey opening credits with the characters faces transposed over an image of the moon while their actor names are in a red, sitcom-y font next to them. The song that plays is even a jingly bastardization of the typical Nerf Herder … Continue reading Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7
Episode 5 Episode 5 kicks off with Buffy bringing home fried chicken. This is mundane and uninspired, and I ALMOST considered not even noting it until Willow delivered the line “I’m a breast girl”, then turned to Tara and said “But then again, you knew that”, and I laughed and laughed. And that’s not actually sarcasm; I actually did have a solid L.O.L. at that … Continue reading Naughty Colloquialisms: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E5-6
