Is May 2022 literally starting this week? Yes, yes it is but goddamn it, I wanna talk about these movies and because of the chronological aesthetic that I want to uphold, this is going up now.

Netflix’s ‘Cowboy Bebop’: The Frustration of Unrealized Potential.
Just like Spike Spiegel himself, Netflix never seems to learn. After multiple failed attempts at live-action anime adaptations, Netflix thought to adapt the iconic anime classic that is 'Cowboy Bebop'.

‘Squid Game’ and The Nerve-Shredding Result Of Moral Manipulation.
The task of introducing a phenomenon like 'Squid Game' for a review is as dreadful as the show itself.

‘The Mitchells vs The Machines’ Is a Goddamn Delight.
Over the past few years, it has become progressively clearer to me that I prefer animation over live-action. Movies like 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse', 'Your Name' and the 'How To Train Your Dragon' franchise had a far longer impression on me than any live-action film, at least not since 'La La Land' which is the … Continue reading ‘The Mitchells vs The Machines’ Is a Goddamn Delight.

Whether it's the synth and disco returning to the radio, the Disney classics returning to the big-screen or our favourite childhood shows getting unnecessarily rebooted by Netflix, the entertainment industry is recycling harder than Greta Thunberg.
