  • John’s Review of Fantastic Four: 4th Time’s The Charm?

    I’m so damn eager to tell you all about this new take on Marvel’s first family, but as always, it’s no spoilers and then I pad a bit, and then I spoil it a whole bunch. Though I will say there’s a major plot detail that was revealed in TV spots the week before the Read more

  • John’s Review of James Gunn’s Superman

    I’m finally here. I’ve been waiting for what feels like my whole life to get to this moment and review this movie.

Superman (2025) stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Read more

  • Top 10 Things I Should Talk About

    I’ve fallen a bit behind on blog stuff lately, due to busy… things. I have a lot going on! Well, not right now. Now I’m mostly unpacking my crap and applying for jobs. Actually, I’m still busy. And stressed. And dealing with many depressions. It’s very fun being an adult! Anyway, the point is I Read more

  • Ruddtrospective #42: Unicorns Hate Rich People

    I’ll clearly mark when I start giving spoilers, because I encourage all to watch this if they feel they’ll enjoy it.

  • The Flying Nun, Revisited: Volume 12

  • Ruddtrospective #41: Summer Camp Hijinks

    Full spoilers for the first chapter of the Wet Hot American Summer saga, which is the movie. I’ll talk about the shows later.

  • 2024: It’s Done Now

    So usually I do a couple of end of year posts, one about superheroes where I ramble a lot and people don’t read it, and this one, where I cover other movies I liked and life things that happened. This’ll be a weird one because it was a weird year for movies. Anyway, there’s not Read more

  • Ruddtrospective #40: Further Down The Rudd

    Spoilers for all Paul Rudd movies and shows that I’ve reviewed at this point. Back in 2022 I’d fallen behind on Ruddtrospectives so I ranked everything I’d covered at that point. I’ve been more consistent in releases now but I think it’s time to reevaluate that ranking and take into account all the weird shit Read more

  • John’s Mini Review of Venom’s Last Dance

    Full spoilers for this. I don’t have much to say and I don’t want to talk about this movie. It feels grossly put together and cynical and rushed and low effort so that’s what this review will be.
