10 Binge-Worthy Anime
All these anime have one season so far. These anime are all binge worthy if you're in a "hurry." I don't doubt that all of you reading this think that you can binge watch an anime like AssassinationClassroom in one day, but if you only have a couple hours, these anime shows are perfect! These are also all different genres so depending on your mood, you have some options.

Reform 'First Reformed'
"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." It's a lesson that we were all taught as kids. It's not advice that should be heeded when it comes to movie critics though, so if you came here expecting another glowing review of A24's latest release, First Reformed, then maybe now is the time to stop reading. Also, there will be spoilers. Not that the movie doesn't spoil itself by being a conflicted mess.

Out of 10: 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2'
This sequel to one of the MCU’s most triumphant instalments (doesn’t mean much from me- I rarely score below 9). The titular group flee an Alien race and meet an enigmatic figure from Starlord’s youth. Oh sorry, SPOILERS. I’ll avoid revealing other plot points. The engrossing sense of style the first film offered is effortlessly transposed. Even in Black and white, the aesthetics that initially seem dependant on colour are barely hindered

Stopping By Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1, Episode 17
The mosquitos have taken over. I repeat the mosquitos have taken over. I am covered head to toe in bug bites (mainly in the toe region) and am plagued by their whizzing whines. But despite their horrid invasion, I am excited. Why?

Movie Review: 'Action Point'
In 2015 the American history/comedy podcast The Dollop told the story of New Jersey’s Action Park. Action Park was an amusement park without rules, with few protections and loads of injuries and, much more seriously, several deaths. The park was filled with death trap amusements like a wave pool that could hold over one thousand people and averaged thirty rescues per day among their crew of lifeguards.

Stopping by Stars Hollow: A Critic’s First Watch of 'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1, Episode 16
Oh my goodness, it’s June already! Where has the time gone? What is time anyway? When did time start going so fast? Did someone give time an energy drink or something? Time needs a cold shower and a spa day because she is stressed and overworked.

Movie Review: 'Best F(r)iends Vol. 2'
If LARP-ers re-enacted scenes from No Country For Old Men, the result might look something like Best F(r)iends Volume 2, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau's gloriously baffling dream come true. Like the first volume of Best F(r)iends, Best F(r)iends Volume 2 is some high level nonsense, an incompetently accomplished masterpiece of Z grade cinema.
