Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Looks “Distinct” Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is a show that asks: what if the gross sections of Rugrats was made into an entire show? Though perhaps that’s not fair to Aaahh!!! Because, though the animation is rather choppy and awkward, it’s got some rather inventive things put into the monster designs. Though Monsters,…
Missing Link Is A Visual Treat From Laika Missing Link proves that Laika is still at the top of their game in their niche craft. From Coraline to ParaNorman, they have proven that they can use a unique art style and then tell amazing, entertaining stories. Honestly, sometimes they do Pixar better than modern Pixar….
Does Locke & Key Match Its Pedigree? Having not been familiar with the work of Joe Hill, I didn’t know what to expect with Locke & Key the show. Certainly, the intro, with its hyper obsession with keys, caught my interest, but cool ideas for shows an intro does not make. But I’m pleased to report…
The Witcher Can Not Be A Coincidence Regardless of the source material and its adaptation here, The Witcher is so blatantly an attempt to imitate The Mandalorian for Netflix that I’m amazed no one is making a stink about it. Obviously, it has its own identity, but the show has such an abundance of similarities, both…
Carnival Row: Several Genres In One Suit Carnival Row is a show that’s clearly got an audience in mind. It wears a very specific set of genres on its sleeve and takes heavy influence from them, making it, like some of its characters, a half-breed, an amalgam of niche fantasy tropes that, lucky for it, do…
Hazbin Hotel Is Worth The Year of Hype From just the original song “Inside of every Demon is a Rainbow,” Hazbin Hotel had so much promise. It was made by a small team, posted online, but with gorgeous animation, stellar voice work, and an aesthetic that is both detailed and imaginative—which all meant I was…
While I may have procrastinated this Magic meta report until the very last minute of October, with the recent ban of Field of the Dead, the meta shifted right at the end of the month anyway, so it was rather fortuitous. Golos decks in every color combination dominated the meta and could not be stopped…

Over The Garden Wall Wears Influences If the people initially responsible for Over the Garden Wall weren’t heavily inspired by Alice in Wonderland, then I’d be shocked. Much like Coraline, this is a story that follows such a similar world and structure to it that I can’t help but see the parallels. The simple traveling to…
The Dark Crystal: A Unique New World The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a triumph of alternative presentation. The puppetry and practical effects are so intrinsic to the show that it’s impossible to not notice it every second of watching. I cannot imagine the work it took to create not only the various characters…
