‘Unmasked’ Episodes 3 & 4 Recap – Disney+ K-Drama Is Coasting on Shock Value
I said in my recap of the premiere that Disney+’s K-Drama Unmasked is unusually forward about sex and violence, and if nothing else Episodes 3 and 4 prove me right.
‘Unmasked’ Premiere Recap – Cat Lovers Should Probably Steer Clear
I have no idea what to make of Unmasked, which after two episodes feels like a comedy tripped and fell into a crime drama and nobody knew how to separate them.
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Ending Explained – Sticking the Landing
“The Real Good Guys” is as perfect an ending as Skeleton Crew could have hoped for. It’s action-packed, beautiful looking, thematically resonant, and feels at...
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Episode 7 Recap – Jod’s Villain Status Is Cemented In Penultimate Chapter
It’s easy to forget – especially in Episode 7, which contains two pretty cold-blooded executions and the threat of several others – that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a kids’ show.
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Focuses On Character Over Lore In Episode 6
Episode 6, “Zero Friends Again”, comes on the back of by far the most exciting and surprising installment.
‘Skeleton Crew’ Delivers Its Best Outing Yet In Episode 5

‘Marvel’s What If…?’ Season 3, Episode 4 Is A Lovely (If Demented) Christmas Gift
Episode 4, “What If… Howard the Duck Got Hitched?”, plays out like a dare to come up with the weirdest MCU premise possible and then contort it into even stranger shapes as it goes.
‘Marvel’s What If…?’ Season 3, Episode 3 Feels Like A ‘Thunderbolts’ Trailer
