REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 6 “Just Jen”

AlexGherzo | Sep 22, 2022 | 0

I didn’t think She-Hulk could get much worse after last week’s disaster, but Jessica Gao and her crack team proved I was selling them short. “Just Jen” takes all of the show’s worst impulses and amplifies them, sapping what little charm may have been in the lead character and dropping her ...

REVIEW: House of the Dragon – Season 1, Episode 5 “We Light the Way”

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 19, 2022 | 0

House of the Dragon‘s steady rise in quality has ended with this week’s episode, “We Light the Way.” While not a bad addition to the series, it pales in comparison to its two most recent and outstanding predecessors. Little plot or character development happens in this one, ...

REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Season 1, Episode 5 “Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans”

AlexGherzo | Sep 15, 2022 | 3

“Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans” may be the worst episode of She-Hulk (so far; we’ve got four more of these suckers to go). The woke feminist stuff is present, though not as abrasively as in, say, the pilot, and it’s got plenty of bad plotting and character work to complem...

REVIEW: House of the Dragon – Season 1, Episode 4 “King of the Narrow Sea”

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 12, 2022 | 0

Following last week’s fantastic episode, House of the Dragon: “King of the Narrow Sea” had some rather large shoes to fill. Does it live up to its predecessor, “Second of his Name?” Not entirely, but it’s only marginally inferior and does not bring down this season. “King of the Narrow...

REVIEW: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Season 1, Episode 3, “Adar”

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 9, 2022 | 0

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power continues with episode 3, “Adar,” which, once again, is a bloated, nonsensical slog that breaks every fundamental rule of writing, characterization, and dialogue. The plot could have easily been condensed into less than 15 minutes, just like the previous...

REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 4 “Is This Not Real Magic?”

AlexGherzo | Sep 8, 2022 | 0

“Is This Not Real Magic?” feels more like the kind of episode the team behind She-Hulk wants to make. It’s more stand-alone than any of the previous installments, and it focuses on Jen’s personal life and how being She-Hulk complicates it, sometimes in ways she didn’t expect. That isn’t ...
