The episode title kinda says it all.
This week I’m taking a look at China Mieville’s speculative fiction hardboiled murder mystery “The City & The City”
Video Game Review: Judgement
The fourth of my 2025 New Year’s Resolution games – Judgement – has finally been beaten. It took me about 40 hours of playtime – so now it comes to the question of what did I think about the game?

Film Review: Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein is a film I knew – erroneously – by a presumed reputation. It was credited as the film that ended the long-running Universal Monsters series. Allegedly, it took the wind out of the monsters and made it so no one could take them seriously anymore.

Before getting into The Helpful Fox Senko-San, we discuss the nominees for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Ameku MD: Doctor Detective: Anime Review
