TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 8: The Rescue
The end of The Mandalorian’s second season really doesn’t mess around. Though even I – a Star Wars fan ever since I saw the original in the late 70s, whose […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 7: The Believer
Though I’ve had my issues with the second season of The Mandalorian – particularly how each episode seemed to settle into a very formulaic structure early on, as well as […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 6: The Tragedy
I’ve done my best to refrain from spoilers in my weekly reviews of The Mandalorian Season 2 so far, but it became incredibly difficult to remain too tight-lipped with last […]
TV Review: The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
The original Star Wars Holiday Special was an unmitigated disaster. Quickly produced for TV in 1978 – just a year after the first movie was released – it was a […]

TV Review: X-Men: The Animated Series – Season 1 (1992)
Thanks to the Disney/Fox deal and the launch of Disney’s seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of a streaming service – DisneyPlus – it’s never been easier to see the 1992 X-Men cartoon in its entirety.
