"Beyond the Gates" Week 27 & 28 Review
The month of September has been a wild one for sure. I myself have been focused on the incoming NFL season and the chaos of the final month of baseball, but Beyond the Gates remained in my mind, especially since August ended with Chelsea held captive by psycho Allison. Of course, as I mentioned in the Week 26 recap, the month of September started off with yet another hiatus--September 1-5 were full of reruns. My goodness.

Welcome to Night Vale: A Love Letter to Community Radio and Cosmic Horror
There's something magical about stumbling onto the perfect piece of media at exactly the right moment in your life. For me, that happened in college when my friend Liz introduced me to a little podcast called Welcome to Night Vale. What started as a curious listen became an obsession that has lasted years, spanning not just the original podcast but an entire universe of novels that have only deepened my appreciation for this wonderfully weird corner of fiction.

Haunted Hotel (2025)
Netflix's latest animated venture, "Haunted Hotel," arrives with considerable pedigree behind it—created by Matt Roller (a writer from "Rick and Morty") and executive produced by Dan Harmon himself. Yet despite its impressive creative lineage and promising premise, the series struggles to establish its own distinct identity in an increasingly crowded field of adult animated comedies.

Sinners
As always I am behind on my movie watching but one of my most anticipated titles this year was Sinners. Not only did I hear nothing but wonderful things about it upon its release but it stars Michael B Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, both of whom I love. I think Ryan Coogler is an incredible director so this was one that I was happy to check off the list.

Simpsons Review: "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"
Doesn't seem like it's been 30 years, hasn't it? I remember this like it was yesterday. So the episode starts off... somewhat innocently. The class hamster, named Superdude, sadly passes on. Groundskeeper Willie buries the hamster, while venting about his father's burial, but all of a sudden, Willie inadvertently digs up some gold. Black gold. Texas tea.

A Deep Look at "Hogan's Heroes"
I had actually been sitting on any stories about this for a long while. I had patiently waited for the right time to discuss this classic sitcom, and then, I finally decided bout a month or so ago, I decided that the perfect time would be the anniversary of the show's premiere. The 60th anniversary, to be exact.

Luigi Mangione
Luigi Mangione: The Enduring Fascination with a Shadowy Figure In the vast landscape of organized crime history, certain names resonate with a particular, almost mythical, infamy. One such name is Luigi Mangione. While not as universally recognized as Al Capone or John Gotti, Mangione's story is a compelling chapter in the annals of American crime, a tale that continues to spark curiosity and occasional Luigi Mangione news cycles decades later.

Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
The Roses (2025) Director: Jay Roach I am always up for a comedy. While The Roses is comical, it presents the usual story of a bickering couple who are competing for rank. I was hoping for something different. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch make an excellent duo. They bring more to their characters from the script. Colman is pretty sassy at times. The constant arguing is the main issue. Their arguing bogs down the film, becoming tiring. I wanted Jay Roach to explore the changing dynamic of the meanspirited nature. Even the supporting characters don’t save the film, like Kate McKinnon, who tosses in awkward comedy.
