Famous ones like “Minecraft,” “Grand Theft Auto,” and “Call of Duty” have sustained their popularity over the last decade. No video game genre delivers more adrenaline than zombie games.

Through rain or shine, ‘It’s Always Sunny’ never pulls its punches
Share: As “Always Sunny” reaches its 19th anniversary this coming August, one has to wonder how the show whose first episode sees Charlie Day accidentally, but openly using racial slurs has survived for so long. For those not in the cult of Sunny, it’s definitely a head scratcher, but for fans of the series, it’s not much of a thought at all, as the show time and time again proves it knows its audience and knows how to both offend and keep them entertained. I …
‘I Saw the TV Glow’ dims profound allegory behind spellbinding screen
Share: When it comes to A24 movies, there’s an unconvincing justification conveniently awaiting any negative thoughts over the inherent weirdness of most of their releases: you just don’t get it. With “I Saw the TV Glow,” a visually spectacular whirlwind of creativity from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun, the message is there but collapses under a convoluted narrative best described as an overstretched short film. The movie, spanning the late 90s to mid-2000s, takes place through the unreliable perspective of Owen (Justice Smith), who looks back on …
‘Baby Reindeer’ is not christmas themed and definitely not for babies
Share: “Baby Reindeer” is an emotionally challenging watch but is indubitably one of the best pieces of media to come out this year. It follows the tragic story of an aspiring comedian who is being stalked by a woman he met while working at a bar. Not only is it completely insane watching this story unfold, but it is absolutely absurd that it also happens to be a true story being performed by the real life victim. The limited series has entered the race to …
