Godzilla: Minus One (Movie) Review

Edward Harding — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 15:00:03 +0000

Now I’m a bit late to the party on this one – Godzilla Minus One originally hit theaters in 2023. Unfortunately, I missed the theatrical release, but the film has recently launched on Netflix. I’ve always enjoyed Kaiju films: It’s insane to me that over the past few years, the market has been largely dominated by American-made films despite the genre’s Japanese origins. The last Japanese-produced…

Netflix’s Avatar is a Waste of Time

Edward Harding — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 16:00:32 +0000

Like many folks, I grew up with Avatar: The Last Airbender. In fact, it’s probably my favorite show ever. I’ve seen the original series so many times that I was willing to give the newest adaptation by Netflix a fair shot. Now despite the title of this article, I would like to state that I don’t think this new show is the worst thing ever. It’s certainly more faithful to the source material than…

WWE RAW to Move to Netflix

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 14:00:49 +0000

I get that it is a press release on a corporate site, but Jesus WWE, could you maybe make the font a little bigger or even bolder? 2024 is a big year for wrestling as a whole, not just for WWE’s programming. Celebrating 40 years of WrestleMania, there are a number of contracts up or being finalized, and generally, the business is on an upward swing. One result of the reanimated corpse of Gomez…

Blue Eye Samurai Season One – Review

Edward Harding — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 17:00:48 +0000

The samurai genre is one that I can’t ever seem to get enough of. The formula of an honorable Ronin traveling through the countryside and encountering a myriad of adventures along the way can be used in a variety of mediums. From comics to films, as well as video games, I’ve seen a majority of the best that the genre can offer. Blue Eye Samurai is Netflix’s latest attempt at delivering a smash hit…

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Season One Review

Edward Harding — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:00:53 +0000

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is certainly one of my favorite films of all time. It’s got a great cast, is a solid adaptation, and is directed by probably my favorite director Edgar Wright. I was pleasantly surprised this year when a new animated series was announced telling the story of Scott and his friends using the art style from the comics and featuring the original film cast. I went into this…

The Attraction of Live Action Adaptations

Edward Harding — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 17:00:11 +0000

Last week marked the premiere of the One Piece live-action adaptation on Netflix. This is the latest attempt to adapt an enormously popular anime series after many failed past works with series such as Death Note, Cowboy Beebop, and more. I am hesitant to give this series a watch despite the mostly positive reception thus far. Additionally, it seems as though more live-action adaptations are…

Edward Harding — Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:00:38 +0000

In a surprising move this week, SNK announced that the 2019 revival of Samurai Showdown will be coming soon to IOS and Android. Even more baffling was that this decision was made in partnership with Netflix. In an effort to increase revenue streams, the company first announced its mobile games platform in 2021. These games are available to play and download for Netflix members using the mobile app.

Vinland Saga (Anime) Review

Edward Harding — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 17:00:14 +0000

I’d like to start doing more Anime reviews but given the amount of shows on my to-watch list that may or may not occur. Nonetheless, I wanted to take some time to discuss one of the more recent shows to air this year. Vinland Saga is a historical fiction series based on the manga of the same name written by Makoto Yukimura. Season one debuted in 2019 while season 2 just released early this year. I’…
