Slay (2024)
I’ve been real bad about keeping up with this blog, I know, I know… Blah blah busy at work blah blah excuses blah. But I wanted to at least get one entry in before Pride Month was over, and oh man did Tubi deliver a queer horror film. I don’t really do anything ironically any more so I’m completely sincere when I say it’s my favorite streaming site, full of good movies, hidden gems, and some of the best garbage to shove in my face.

X-Men ’97 – Season 1, Episode 10
Previously, on X-Men! How have I seriously done the entirety of X-Men ’97’s first season and never once made that joke? I’m slipping, y’all… Anyway, Magneto has doomed the Earth in retaliation for Genosha! An attempt to force him to undo his damage led to Wolverine having the adamantium ripped out of his body! Meanwhile, Bastion and Mister Sinister are a deadly duo the X-Men can’t seem to beat! Is this the end of the X-Men? No. What? Of course not. Why would you…? Anyway, let’s wrap up “Tolerance is Extinction” and the show’s first season. It’s a doozy.

Hostel: Part II (2007)
I’ve been reviewing the various Saw and Hostel movies more-or-less chronologically for Saw-mhain. Granted, Hostel came out before Saw II, but they were the same year and I didn’t want the second entry in a month focusing more on the Saw franchise to be something else. But we’re in the area of 2007, so it’s time for Hostel: Part II, a continuation of Mr. Eli Roth’s vision of decadence and ultraviolence. And like the first film, it was better than expected! Not a masterpiece, but still.

Survival of the Dead (2009)
Survival of the Dead was Mr. George A Romero’s last film he directed before passing in 2017. The man is an absolute legend in the horror genre, effectively creating the zombie subgenre as we know it today. Night of the Living Dead will most likely forever be looked at as a classic. As for all his other movies? Wildly varying quality with Survival being one of his worst. Whoops.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
COVID fucked up a lot of stuff. Case in point, Marvel celebrated the release of Thor: Love and Thunder because that meant they had finally caught up with all the projects announced at San Diego Comic Con 2019 (that had a release date). November 5, 2021? Whoopsie! But it’s here now, and it’s getting… very mixed reviews. And I kind of agree. To an extent, at least.

Centaurworld – Season 2, Episode 8
Well it’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I left a lot of stuff unfinished when I took my hiatus back in January, and finishing up Centaurworld was pretty much the top of that list (mostly because I had a WIP of this post sitting in drafts for months). Well the time has come to wrap this up! Let’s talk about the finale to Centaurworld, and probably the best episode overall.

Centaurworld – Season 2, Episodes 1-7
Normally when I review a TV show, I watch a batch of episodes and write about them before continuing to the next batch. Sure, I may have seen the show before, but gives a feeling that I don’t necessarily know exactly what’s going to happen next. Well, that’s not the case for Centaurworld’s second season. It’s a shorter one with only 8 episodes, but the last one is longer and wraps everything up. And I watched it before I could write my thoughts on the previous 7 episodes. So let me try to sum up my thoughts on the mysteries…

Centaurworld – Season 1, Episodes 1-10
Happy New Year! There’s probably one person out there right now going, “Hey! This isn’t the start of the ‘Festival Orchestrating’ arc for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Kai, AKA When They Cry: Kai!” Well that potential reader is right–I haven’t finished up Kai, partly because my computer can’t play Blu-ray discs so I’d have to watch it in the cold living room, but also because I’m lazy. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been watching things! I’ve got movies lined up, but not as many shows since so many are things I’d want to cover here. But during…

Make the Yuletide Gay (2009)
Oh, you thought you I was done with Christmas movies just because the 25th had come and gone? Nope! This month had several interruptions to the theme, so I’m making up for it by finishing the week off with a few more holiday films. And hopefully some good ones since January’s theme is… it’s going to be bad. I honestly don’t know if I can keep it up through all of that month.

Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas (2019)
The first time I heard the premise of Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas, I though it was hilariously fucked up. Now, when most people hear the word “ghosting,” they think of ditching someone without saying a word. And yes, that is a plot element here: a girl goes on a date with a guy and then ghosts him. The catch is THAT SHE FUCKING DIED. SHE GHOSTED HIM BECAUSE SHE DIED AND IS NOW A GHOST. That’s macabre! And hilarious! And it’s a Christmas movie? Sign my morbid ass up!
