‘Your Name’ Tugs at Your Heartstrings When You Least Expect It Makoto Shinkai‘s latest animated feature film, Your Name (or Kimi no na wa), is an incredibly sweet film about two teenagers who inexplicably swap bodies and lives. Since its debut in Japan last summer, Your Name has become one of the most successful anime features...
Black Sails Series Finale Recap & Review – ‘XXXVIII’ This is it, folks. The end of a four-season long epic journey between two men, and the people whose lives they affected greatly.

Riverdale Ep. 108 Recap & Review – ‘Chapter Eight: The Outsiders’ Riverdale is back and just as soapy as ever. I mean that in a good way.

Legion Ep. 108 Recap & Review – ‘Chapter 8’ Legion wraps up its first season on a cliffhanger of sorts. But before we get to all that, let’s talk about Aubrey Plaza’s performance as the Shadow King.

Fans of the Iron Fist comic character will be able to recognize Danny Rand’s mentor Lei Kung, who makes...
Black Sails Ep. 409 Recap & Review – ‘XXXVII’ In this week’s episode of Black Sails, Silver and his men hunt for Flint on Skeleton Island, Madi is made an offer, Rogers struggles to hear Eleanor, and Billy casts his lot.

Because this is a superhero-based TV show, Danny survives the fall and is brought back inside the building to meet the strangely alive, former co-founder of Rand Enterprises, Harold Meachum. This is where we get more...
