Anime Video Review: Overtake!
As we go through this season of Formula 1, I talk about the anime series that got me into watching motorsport, rather than just playing racing video games – Overtake.

Film Review: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
One of the things about having read Paperbacks From Hell is that Grady Hendrix does a really solid job of laying out that for all the ways that the horror genre can be progressive, it can also be tremendously conservative as well, drawing the root of the threat of the horror from societal prejudices. The same lies with the thriller and disaster genres – a place where The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) falls. When a screenwriter or author succumbs to the temptation to make bystanders and victims into archetypes as a shorthand, what archetypes are used matter.

Film Review: Dune Parts 1 & 2
With Dune Parts 1 & 2, I wanted to hold off on seeing those movies until the story was complete. Dune was a complete novel after all, and getting half of it without the whole thing would have been frustrating. It’s the same reason why I haven’t watched part 1 of Wicked as of this writing. Part 2 isn’t out yet, so there’s only half the story. I wanted to watch the story – but I wanted to watch the full story. So, once Dune Parts 1 & 2 were released on 4K, I felt it was time to sit down and watch them both together.

Anime Review: My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
I’ll admit, to my shame, that I’d dismissed My Hero Academia: Vigilantes as a manga originally as something of a nothingburger side story that wasn’t worth paying attention to. This was a mistake. Instead, MHA: Vigilantes serves as a well executed prologue to the core story, giving us a chance once again to see characters we haven’t seen for a while, plus meeting a new cast.

Anime Review: Kowloon Generic Romance
Kowloon Generic Romance is one of the romance anime airing in 2025, and is a series that felt the most like a shojo or josei, but is instead a Seinen series. It’s also a series that I feel like the art style doesn’t quite work out in animation.
