This post contains spoilers for Eyes Wide Shut, and I would recommend watching that before reading. In my last two posts on film, I’ve looked at films centred around romance, and their differing takes on it. Pale Flower and Phantom Thread both square their aim onto troubled relationships and aim to try and find the beauty …

This is the sixth in a series of Ace Attorney reviews and I recommend reading the others before this. This post will contain spoilers for Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Path and all the games preceding it. Thanks for reading!

While I’ve lauded the series as a way to give game creators space to make a small game with full creative control, Weapon Shop de Omasse gives that control to a Japanese comedian named Yoshiyuki Hirai. Hirai, who …
Arrested Development Series Five
This review contains some spoilers for the fifth season of Arrested Development. I recommend watching the show before reading. I think I should probably clarify upfront that I'm not really as harsh on the fourth season of Arrested Development as many seem to be.
