Would you look at that? Fantastic Fest has an incredible lineup for its 20th anniversary and it just so happens that little old me will be there!

If you need coverage for your publication, let's talk! This will be my 5th year at the fest, so you won't need to worry about any hand holding.

'Wednesday' Season 2, Part 1 review: Does more macabre means more fun? Jenna Ortega returns to glower in "Wednesday" Season 2.

Once upon a midnight dreary, @belenedwards.bsky.social and I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious episode of #Wednesday — Season 2 absolutely slaps. Read Belen's @mashable.com review: mashable.com/article/wedn...

'Alien: Earth' review: Xenomorphs get upstaged in this sci-fi treat The iconic "Alien" beast is the least interesting thing about Noah Hawley's series — and that's a good thing.

With "Alien: Earth," Noah Hawley somehow manages to upstage Xenomorphs. It's awesome! Get into it!

My full review:

'The Bear' Season 4's biggest problem is time I fear "The Bear" is no longer cooking.

For a show that's so obsessed with time, The Bear seems to have no clue what to do with it. My full review of Season 4:

The 'Dimension 20' cast improvises a 'Dungeons and Dragons' character from scratch Things get... chaotic.

Before their Madison Square Garden show, I asked @dimension20.bsky.social to improvise a DnD character based on a few dice rolls. The result is both unhinged and my favorite video I've ever worked on. Shout out to our art team, Ian Moore and Zain bin Awais, for bringing the cast's creation to life.

Spoke with #Severance creator Dan Erickson about the game-changing "Chikhai Bardo," Gemma's official introduction, and which testing floor rooms didn't make the cut

Can consent exist in 'Severance'? What are the ethics of sex in a severed world?

The sex scenes in #Severance Season 2 raise a lot of compelling questions about consent, mostly, "is consent even possible in Severance?"

Wrote about the show's deepening examination of consciousness and consent over @mashableofficial.bsky.social:

For one of my last @mashableofficial.bsky.social stories of 2024, I wrote about how wonderfully Flow and The Wild Robot — two of my favorite movies of the year — tackle climate change.
