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…

First Time Watch: HBO’s “The Comeback” (2005-2014)
Demi Lovato announced earlier this week that she is switching back to her “she/her” pronouns, as opposed to when she announced she was going to be going by “they/them.” This stands out to me for a few reasons. One is that this information was actually reported by news outlets. Another is that Lovato felt 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…

I Watched 30 Seasons of Television from 2021, and, yeah, You’re Gonna Hear About it
By Christian DiMartino Alright so you may or may not have noticed that I vanished for the last like 10 days. Both of my current segments- “Stallone Saturdays” and “THE Best Picture”- were put on hold. Movies such as Uncharted and Marry Me went un-reviewed. I also deliberately stayed off of the Youtube channel I…

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…

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…

Review: The Morning Show- Season 2
Over the years, it’s pretty apparent that I haven’t really reviewed much in the way of television. Truth is, for a long while, I wasn’t into it. This year though, I have watched A LOT of television, and while I’ve had the itch to write about more of it, it isn’t always easy for me…

The One Where I (Briefly) Review Every Season of “American Horror Story” (so far)
By Christian DiMartino The first season of American Horror Story premiered 10 years ago this month. I could’ve reviewed it on its actual anniversary, October 5th, but since the 10th season was still airing, I figured I’d wait until the season came to a close. Which it now has. I’ll just say it: I love…

Review: The Many Saints of Newark
Alan Taylor’s The Many Saints of Newark is the entertaining but somewhat unconvincing prequel to The Sopranos. The film chronicles the early life of Tony Soprano, played in a legendary performance by the late James Gandolfini, yet by the end of it you don’t really feel as if it’s really a convincing origin story, because…

First Time Watch: Schitt’s Creek (2015-2020)
By Christian DiMartino For the first time in many years, I decided to watch The Emmy’s last year. I’m not always one to watch TV, but it was one of the first years where I felt as if I’d watched enough of what was nominated to know what I was talking about. Well, pretty early…
