  1. Alien Earth, Season 1

    2025 TV show

    Watched 16 August – 24 September 2025

    With shows of this caliber taking several years of production time between seasons, who thought it was a good idea to provide absolutely zero plot resolution with the finale?

    Some great episodes, but I’m already annoyed that I’ll probably have to rewatch this season in 2027.

  2. Sorcerer

    1977 film

    Watched 28 August 2025

    couldn’t wait for the movie to end so i could open my internet browser and type in “sorcerer 1977 how did they do that”

  3. Friendship

    2024 film

    Watched 29 August 2025

    i always wanted a full episode-length ITYSL sketch, but never thought feature-length could actually work. it did work, but felt a bit too constrained by the realities of Big Movie. giving myself galaxy brain by imagining this as a 20 minute ITYSL skit that never lets you catch your breath

  4. The Empty Man

    2020 film

    Watched 31 August 2025

    not very relatable when the protagonist blows on a bottle to summon the empty man. highly relatable when the protagonist checks what the empty man is about on wikipedia

  5. Weapons

    2025 film

    Watched 30 August 2025

    i don’t like playing armchair casting director but i feel pretty strongly that Tim Robinson would have been a good choice here

  6. Companion

    2025 film

    Watched 12 August 2025

    has nothing new to add in terms of sci-fi, lazily adding an iphone app on top of all the basic robot tropes. barely qualifies for the horror or comedy tags. could have been a fun Love, Death and Robots short

  7. Century-Scale Storage

    Maxwell Neely-Cohen:

    We are on the brink of a dark age, or have already entered one. The scale of art, music, and literature being lost each day as the World Wide Web shifts and degenerates represents the biggest loss of human cultural production since World War II. My generation was continuously warned by teachers, parents, and authority figures that we should be careful online because the internet is written in ink, and yet it turned out to be the exact opposite. As writer and researcher Kevin T. Baker remarked, “On the internet, Alexandria burns daily.”

  8. Alien: Romulus

    2024 film

    Watched 12 April 2025

    This review contains spoilers.

    Sure, it has some issues, but what can I say, I’m a sucker for spaceships with CRT monitors and a good acid vagina humomorph baby coming of age story

  9. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

    2022 film

    Watched 21 January 2025

    I would have been way more excited about this movie from the get go if only the marketing mentioned why Mrs. Harris goes to Paris (obviously because of her ADHD)

  10. Metroid Dread

    2021 video game

    Played 6–29 June 2024 on Nintendo Switch

    Direct and engaging, with a nice digestible length. But I can’t help but feel like the Metroid formula needs to shed some legacy baggage.

  11. Decision to Leave

    2022 film

    Watched 21 November 2023

    A beautiful puzzle box. Pieces fitting together so satisfyingly, I could practically hear the clicking sounds.

  12. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

    2023 film

    Watched 6 May 2023

    I really wish this series could just be its own thing outside the “marvel” “universe”
