Everybody scream! ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ returns for 30th anniversary
Share: T’was a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that you’ve probably seen on your screens.

Star Wars pays tribute to its animated roots in ‘Ahsoka’
Share: While 2023 opened with the mixed experience that was season three of “The Mandalorian,” the Star Wars saga is once again back, this time swinging for the stars with their latest show “Ahsoka.” Although this show isn’t without its flaws, its open and infectious love for both “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels” can just about make me look past its flaws.
