Written by: Kevin Berge  It must be tough for Queen Allura to be the smartest and most capable of the crew and not being allowed to ride the lions. (Image Courtesy of: denofgeek.com) Quick Take: Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 2 finds a way to heavily improve upon the first season by fully committing to the characters. It is engaging, funny, and emotional where each episode has a memorable, unique focus.
2020 Film Review: The Invisible Man3/21/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  This was almost a movie starring Johnny Depp in the Dark Universe, and that's the true horror. (Image Courtesy of: universalpictures.com) Quick Take: The Invisible Man takes a frightening modern approach to the famous tale of a depraved invisible man. With great direction and a powerful lead performance, the movie is a consistently excellent horror experience.
Written by: Kevin Berge  Can't wait for the follow-up posters down the line that make sure Harley Quinn's name is the one in bold print. (Image Courtesy of: birdsofpreymovie.com) Quick Take: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a delightful comic book inspired ride that never skips a beat. It doesn't land with as much impact as it should, but it is consistently entertaining.

(Image Courtesy of: youtube.com) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure exists in a unique space where it is not among the most well known anime, but it is widely known among the anime community. This is mainly because it is difficult to sell to new viewers.
Jojo is just a bizarre series (as per the name). It evolves over time with unique characters in each arc, and the overall thread pulling everyone together is hard to pin down. The world is the same. The weird Stands combat both makes it completely unique and baffling. You don't really watch Jojo as much as experience it, but it is certainly an experience. Those who commit have fallen deeply in love with this odd, meme-filled, surprisingly intelligent series. I wanted to give it a chance, beginning with its first small arc. 2020 Film Review: The Way Back3/10/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  Ben Affleck can show his redemption from alcoholism, but he can't be redeemed from those terrible tattoos. (Image Courtesy of: indiewire.com) Quick Take: The Way Back (2020) is a perfectly solid sports redemption story that does not wholly lean into the cliche. Ben Affleck carries the film with his performance, and it is ultimately satisfying enough to make up for being familiar.
