Better Call Saul Season 5, Episode 9 ‘Bad Choice Road’ Review

A Death of Nightmares – Destiny 2 Bone Collector & Deathbringer Exotic Guide
A Death of Nightmares is a new Destiny 2 Exotic quest that rewards the Deathbringer rocket launcher. It’s a fairly straightforward mission, too! However, it forces you to play through the entire new Shadowkeep campaign. That means it might take a little while (and a little grinding) to complete. It culminates…

Wednesday Night War Week Eight: Non-stop Bangers
Y’all ever stop to think about how good professional wrestling is?

‘Carmilla’ Review: Love and Terror
Emily Harris’s Carmilla proceeds unmistakably from the blueprint of Sheridan le Fanu’s 1871 gothic novel of the same name, but where Le Fanu’s story trades heavily in mystery and action, Harris’s reinterpretation delves deeply into the emotional and sensual context of the Bauer home before and after Carmilla’s arrival.

The Best(-ish) Movies of 2021 So Far
Even in the middle of the pandemic, the movies never really stopped. Though many of the big films were delayed, many others went direct to streaming services in either “at-home theater” (read: more expensive) rentals or regular additions to subscribers’ streaming libraries. The Academy Awards even shifted its eligibility window…
