While it is fantastic on its own, #VisionQuest works even better as a sequel to #WandaVision, perhaps even more so than #AgathaAllAlong. It's a deeply emotional and human (as ironic as that may be) story that is also not embarrassed to be a superhero TV show. Brilliant and fun!

I unpack the #LanternsFinale and why even if it wasn't the #Lanterns show you hoped it would be, it was still a triumph for the #DCU and comic book adaptations. For better AND worse, I dig into what pleased me, disappointed me, and what really mattered. fandomrising.com/202...

Nothing I write starts with the thought, "Oh, I can SELL that." (Though, that may explain a lot.) Whether short fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, they all begin as something *I* would like to read. And, I hope you might, too. I've opened a TikTok shop supposedly good for authors (see the replies).

So, I really loved #Carrie, the new miniseries by Mike Flanagan. I'll have more to say about it on CBR and FR but two things I can say now. 1. File this series as yet another reason a certain director is wrong; Matthew Lillard is a treasure. 2. #BSG fans, keep your eyes peeled.

More of my conversation with #Pixar's Jason Katz, written up by my CBR colleague John Dodge! In this we talk about how #ToyStory5 subverted fans' expectations for the controversial Lily Pad character, and why that's the "secret sauce" of these movies. www.cbr.com/toy-stor...

Also at Fandom Rising, my fellow Pitt Panther Odana Chaney digs into the penultimate Season 4 episode of #TedLasso. She also wrote about the Discourse™ around the season last week, and you should check it out. fandomrising.com/202...

My CBR colleague, Sean O'Connell, had a wide-ranging chat with the Russo Brothers about #AvengersDoomsday and #AvengersEndgameEncore. I got the chance to write a story about how the regular #AvengersEndgame also has clues about what's to come for the MCU! www.cbr.com/avengers...

Over at Fandom Rising, the great Salomé Gonstad offers up a spoiler-free review of #Digger that anyone considering seeing this movie should check out. At the very least, #TomCruise's and Alejandro González Iñárritu's film will get people talking. fandomrising.com/202...

As part of #SCAD's 2026 animation festival, I got the chance to speak to the inimitable Jason Katz, story supervisor for #ToyStory5. As part of our discussion, we talked about the NEXT #ToyStory movie, and why it's not guaranteed. www.cbr.com/why-toy-...

Joel and Januel are old Dreamworks friends I knew as hardworking kid story artists, and they've made something lovely and personal!! See it!! #ForgottenIsland

Check out my review of #ForgottenIsland, a fun animated family adventure that is a milestone for representation and a window into a fascinating cultural mythology. www.cbr.com/forgotte...

The season finale of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds was a time-travel adventure, but #StrangeNewWorlds also set up a surprising storytelling choice from one of the most controversial #StarTrek films. Find out what I mean in this spoiler-y piece.

Check out the final breakout story from my exclusive interview with #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds actor Celia Rose Gooding, and what role the #StarTrek fans play in her research for the role and as the current "custodian" of Nyota Uhura's legacy. www.cbr.com/star-tre...

This movie is hilarious, moving, and kind of unhinged? It will make your day/week/month better if you go see it, I promise.

Check out my review of the new film from David Ayer, #HeartOfTheBeast. This movie is a powerful and moving story, but not a feel-good "man and his dog" adventure. Find out what I mean in this spoiler-free review. www.cbr.com/heart-of...

The penultimate episode of #Lanterns is less about the larger #DCU and more about its version of the iconic #GreenLantern character, Hal Jordan. It's one of the most powerful episodes of the series and sets up the finale impressively. #RenewLanterns fandomrising.com/202...

More of my interview with #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds' Celia Rose Gooding. In this piece she talks about the inspiration she drew from #StarTrek legend Nichelle Nichols and how she brought that into her performance in #StrangeNewWorlds' Season 4 finale. www.cbr.com/star-tre...

The most recent episode of #DarkMatter was a one-off, and that's what made it amazing. I compare it to a similar episode of HBO's #TheLastOfUs because what some people think of as "filler episodes" are the best of what TV can do. www.cbr.com/apple-tv...

More of my interview with the incomparable Celia Rose Gooding, star of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds. With #StrangeNewWorlds ending and the cyclical nature of #StarTrek, we discuss the legacy and possible future of her time with Lt. Uhura. www.cbr.com/star-tre...

The great William Shatner has some thoughts about a classic episode of #StarTrek that seems like one of the "silly" ones, and it was banned in the UK. But beyond featuring a historic moment, it's a great #scifi adventure. www.cbr.com/star-tre...

I'm finally through #Onimusha, and I can't recall a better series reboot than this in quite some time. From the casual concept of a "ninja #ResidentEvil" to a formidable IP in its own right, #Capcom is firing on all cylinders. My review: fandomrising.com/2026/09/17/r...

Review: Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an All-Time Series Reboot

Onimusha: Way of the Sword might be the best reboot of a franchise we've seen in years. Here's our review of Capcom's lastest game.
