Film Review: “Monster Factory” — Tussling for Stardom

Pro wrestling fans will undoubtedly love how Monster Factory takes them behind the scenes, but even those who have never watched the sport will find the docuseries intriguing.

Television Review: “Hello Tomorrow!” — Moon Over Miasma

You don’t see this often on commercial TV: a nihilistic expose of consumerism.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Apple TV, Billy Crudup, Hello Tomorrow!, Sarah Osman

Television Review: “The Big Payback” — The Road Toward Reparations

The Big Payback doesn’t exhibit a clear slant either way: it simply tells the tale of how a bill asking for reparations came to be, along the way highlighting how past injustice shapes present inequities.

Television Review: “Dance Monsters” — Do the Monster Mash

If dancing around as a giant CGI monster makes someone happy, then that is enough to make me happy. Let’s embrace what makes us different and do what we love.

Film Review: “The People We Hate at the Wedding” — Middling Marital Mayhem

The People We Hate at the Wedding is far from one of the best entries in the comic wedding canon.

Film Review: “The Soccer Football Movie” — A Full-On Weirdo Camp Fest

Sometimes, cartoons should just be aimed at kids. The Soccer Football Movie has no pretensions: this is a glorious goof fest that draws on the hallowed tradition of slapstick comedy.

Television Review: “The School for Good and Evil” — Too Complicated for its Own Good

Based on the YA series by Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil offers little that is new about the adventures of discontented adolescents.

Television Review: Season Three of “Ramy” — Spreading the Drama Around

Ramy’s drama takes a backseat to those of his relatives and friends, and that ends up expanding the reach and power of the series.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Bella Hadid, Ramy, Ramy Youssef, Sarah Osman

Television Review: “Reboot” — Laughing at the Corporate Hand that Feeds Him

Reboot is a razor-sharp sitcom about the world of sitcoms and represents Steven Levitan’s triumphant return to comedy.
