Always good to have @trudiegraham.bsky.social back at Skybox doing Trudie things. Editing this made me go looking for Xena DVDs, and it is all her fault.

Yeah so Hamnet may have fucked me up slightly

Should the next season of RHONY fall short, Bravo needs to do something drastic I fear... Bringing back a couple of original cast members would likely be disastrous, but still I yearn skyboxcritics.com/2026/01/09/t...

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

My latest for Skybox is about the only show that has me locked tf in right now. TV is back baby. Do not say a bad word about my girl Carol skyboxcritics.com/2025/12/16/t...

An old bit from me about Halloween 2018's satisfying 3rd act role reversal: How a reforged Laurie literally sets her past ablaze — and in it, evil's eyes stare back through orange flames. None of the franchise's battles were as alive with meaning as this one! www.zavvi.com/blog/feature...

Not only did I find a horror movie called 'Shark Side of the Moon' on Plex, but it's some sort of assembly version. Tubi originals really are something, huh

Wrote about the enduring allure of Michael Cristofer's Gia. From its strange documentary-like structure to the excavation of the model's meteoric rise and fall, it's one of the all time great biopics: skyboxcritics.com/2025/09/25/g...

Jean-Marc Vallée was one of a kind: How structure and editing defined a career by @trudiegraham.bsky.social "When I’m struck by nature’s beauty, and feel magnetically pulled toward it, my mind mysteriously wanders to Wild — one of the greatest ‘the only way out is through’ movies." Read on:
