  • Does The Mummy Returns Still Hold Up?

    Does The Mummy Returns Still Hold Up?

    Halfway through this marathon already and I only just realized I could’ve called it Mummy Monday. Truly, I am ashamed of myself. Long ago, when the Scorpion King made a pact with Anubis, he and his army were sealed away to await their reawakening. In 1933, Rick and Evelyn, along with their son Alex, dive…

  • Castlevania: Nocturne is a Fantastic Sequel

    Mushoku Tensei (Season 1) is Isekai Perfection

    Man, I’m super late on this one, aren’t I? Most isekai stories are simple, dumb power fantasies. They focus less on telling a story and more on providing shallow escapism. Which is fine, if that’s what you’re into. But all the potential of an isekai premise is generally avoided by most of the genre. Mushoku…
