Thsoe of you who followed this site for my review series, Netflix Dumpster Dive, have likely noticed that there has been a notable lack in posts since February of this year. For that I apologize. I want to give an explanation for the series’ pause and give a proper update of where it’ll be in […]
Welcome to 2020. I’ve been sitting on Netflix Dumpster Dive for a month, wanting to let my post on The Witcher ride out January as the general public caught up on the show. Now, I’m back for more. I plan on doing more seasons of shows in the future, as I’m finding that the television […]
I don’t consider myself a critic. I don’t have the educational or long term career background to claim that title for myself.

This has been an unfortunate break in my streak of posting. I haven’t broken a streak in a long time, but truthfully, I think a breath of air was overdue. I had run low on inspiration in the movies I was seeing over on our good friend Netflix. Flipping through the catalogue was coming up […]
Movies that depart from a genre’s norms are always refreshing in this series. I try to find films that, at their core, add to their category without blending into the crowd.

This month, I wanted to find something absurd. Furthermore, I wanted to find something that wholeheartedly engages in its absurdity. I found that with much more ease than I would have imagined. Welcome to Willits is a ridiculous movie with a ridiculous presence, and is aware of this from beginning to end. Conspiracy theories are […]
It’s been a while since I’ve been late on a post. I really had my schedule down for a while there. All things considered, I did have a good excuse for my lateness, but apologies nonetheless. The usual post for this month (April) will be out on time. In spite of the current events of […]
