Leaving “Westworld”
By Christian DiMartino Johnathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s HBO Westworld series concluded its fourth season on August 14th, and… hmm. I watched it about a week after the fact and… hmm. Are people still watching this show? I haven’t the slightest clue, but as committed as I am to the HBO brand, and to the […]

Emmy Nominations 2022: The Highs and Lows
By Christian DiMartino The Emmy nominations were unveiled on Tuesday, and to be honest, I’ve been putting in the work. In terms of television, there has been a plethora of content. Way, way too much, to be honest. My guess is because a lot of studios were trying to reach the Emmy submission deadline. Seeing […]

Academy Awards- Last Minute Predictions and Preferences: Expect Major Victories for “Power of the Dog” and (sigh) “CODA”
By Christian DiMartino As someone who, for whatever reason, cares about the Oscars, I gotta say that I’m not really having much interest in the outcome of the 94th Academy Awards, which airs this evening. This was a fine year in movies- the ones I loved were pretty great, and honestly I didn’t seek out […]

Alright, I’ll Say it: I Don’t Like “CODA”
By Christian DiMartino When CODA premiered at Sundance in early 2021, it earned early raves, and Apple purchased its distribution rights for $25 million, which was a record at the time. When the film premiered on AppleTV+, it earned some more rave reviews. The Oscars are this upcoming Sunday, and the film is nominated for […]

I Don’t Know Who Needs to Hear This, But Zendaya is Sensational (and so is “Euphoria”)
By Christian DiMartino So for the last year, or two (maybe three), I have become a bit more of an avid television consumer. To the point where I’ve started watching the Emmys. With this, I’ll say that in the moment, I didn’t think Zendaya’s Best Actress in a Drama Series win for HBO’s Euphoria was […]

The Oscars: Final Predictions
By Christian DiMartino The Oscar nominations are coming out on Tuesday, February 8th. As we might know, this is always a subject that I find myself getting really invested in. Even though over time I’ve grown to realize more and more that they’re a load of crap. What do I mean? Well they just seem […]

We Need to Talk About Boba
By Christian DiMartino Alright, so if you haven’t been watching the Disney+ series “The Book of Boba Fett,” or intend on watching it or catching up to it and want to be surprised (with Twitter and everything not much is safe), you’re probably better off not reading this. If you could care less and just […]

Sidney Prescott, girl… Flee the Country
By Christian DiMartino The original Scream was released 25 years ago last month, and since then has spawned three sequels, with a fourth one, the lazily titled Scream, coming this Friday. The franchise is a rather satirical commentary on horror movies and franchises and what not, but the series does follow a set storyline. Said […]

Academy Awards 2022: Do the Golden Globes Matter?
By Christian DiMartino The Golden Globes were last night. Did you know? Probably not, because due to a controversy, Hollywood turned their backs on the ceremony, nobody wanted to televise it, and so it had a really muted ceremony where, if you just kept googling the winners, the winners were revealed. I’ve always had fun […]

New Year, Same Me
By Christian DiMartino Happy New Year! Well, I hope it is. At the very end of 2021, and I mean the very end, Betty White died weeks before her 100th birthday. I also read that Joe Gatto will be leaving Impractical Jokers because he recently separated from his wife and he intends on spending time […]
