By Justin D Williams Star Wars: Visions Presents The Ninth Jedi takes one of the most memorable stories from the original Star Wars: Visions anthology and expands it into an eight-episode anime series. It continues Kara’s journey as she trains under Margrave Juro, searches for her missing father, and becomes involved in a growing conflict surrounding the future of the Jedi. After finishing the season, I came away impressed by the wonderful animation, exciting action, and Kara

By Justin D Williams The BritBox Original and ITV drama Gone takes what could have been a fairly standard missing person mystery and turns it into something much more psychological. Instead of relying on constant twists or dramatic reveals, the series focuses on behavior, trauma, control, and the assumptions we make when someone does not react to tragedy as we expect. I enjoyed the series overall. The mystery kept me interested, the performances were excellent, and I liked th

By Justin D Williams Amazon Prime Video’s The Devil’s Mouth has a setup that should have been perfect for a tense survival thriller. A group of young adults enters an isolated cave system in Thailand, becomes trapped, and realizes a bull shark is hunting them through the water. The location is dangerous, the escape routes are limited, and help is nowhere nearby. Unfortunately, the movie never gets as much mileage from that premise as it should. The story follows five college

By Justin D Williams After the emotional ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, I wanted the next movie to offer Tom Holland’s Peter Parker a more personal, independent adventure. Spider-Man: Brand New Day largely delivers that experience, continuing Peter’s story without ignoring the painful decision he made to let everyone forget him. Peter is now navigating life without the relationships that once kept him grounded. MJ and Ned no longer remember him, Aunt May is gone, and Pete

By Justin D Williams Hulu’s Furious may sound like another familiar thriller about an investigator chasing a serial killer, but the first three episodes take a more emotionally complicated approach. The series reveals the killer early, shifting the mystery away from who is responsible and toward why the murders are happening. The story follows Alice Black, a former NYPD homicide detective who has recently joined the FBI. Alice is intelligent, observant, and eager to prove her

Written By Justin D Williams Prime Video’s Ride or Die pairs Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham in an action comedy that understands the value of strong chemistry. The series has assassins, international danger, elaborate conspiracies, and plenty of chaotic encounters, but its greatest strength is the friendship at the center of everything. Spencer and Waddingham are so entertaining together that they keep the show enjoyable even when the story grows familiar or uneven. De

By Justin D Williams Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker was more than a movie. It was an ambitious combination of music, dance, animation, fantasy, filmmaking, and video game magic that captured the King of Pop at the height of the Bad era. In this retrospective, I revisit the production of Moonwalker, its unusual collection of musical sequences, and the main story involving Michael, three children, and the villainous Mr. Big. I also explore the unforgettable “Smooth Criminal” sequ

By Justin D Williams After finally watching Obsession, one question stayed with me more than anything else: Did Nikki ever genuinely like Bear, or was he simply caught inside something far more complicated? In this video, I present evidence that I believe shows that Nikki actually had feelings for Bear.

By Justin D Williams Thundercats is one of the most unforgettable cartoons of the 1980s, but what made it last this long? In this retrospective, I look back at the production history, story, characters, themes, villains, and legacy of the original Thundercats animated series. From Lion-O learning how to become a real leader, to the power of the Sword of Omens, to Mumm-Ra becoming one of the most memorable cartoon villains ever, Thundercats was more than just another toy-drive

By Justin D Williams Before Euphoria, before the modern wave of messy teen dramas, Skins UK was already showing the chaos, pain, humor, friendship, and emotional damage of growing up. In this retrospective, I look back at Skins UK Series 1 and Series 2, the first generation of characters, and why Tony, Sid, Michelle, Cassie, Chris, Jal, Maxxie, Anwar, and Effy still connect with viewers in 2026. This is a non-spoiler breakdown covering the history of the show, the story, char

By Justin D Williams The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is one of the most memorable psychological thrillers of the 1990s. Released in 1992 and directed by Curtis Hanson, the film takes a simple domestic fear and turns it into a tense, chilling story about trust, trauma, revenge, and the danger of letting the wrong person into your home. In this retrospective, I look back at the film’s production history, story, characters, themes, and why it still holds up today. I also talk abo

By Justin D Williams Supergirl left me feeling conflicted because I could see a stronger movie buried underneath the one we got. The story follows Kara Zor-El on a personal journey shaped by loss, revenge, and self-discovery. Without getting into spoilers, this is not the bright, hopeful version of Supergirl that some viewers might expect. This Kara is wounded, angry, and still carrying the weight of everything she has lost. For me, the movie's strongest parts were the flashb

By Justin D Williams Going into Toy Story 5, I wondered if another sequel was necessary. After Toy Story 3’s emotional goodbye and Toy Story 4’s ending for Woody, I feared this entry might feel redundant. What worked is the film’s new emotional focus through Jessie, giving the sequel purpose. The story works because it explores a modern idea: toys trying to matter in a world where technology is taking up more of a child’s attention. I liked that the movie does not simply say

By Justin D Williams Have you ever wondered what would happen if the internet was implanted directly into your brain? In this retrospective, I take a deep dive into H+: The Digital Series, the ambitious 2012 YouTube sci-fi series that may have been years ahead of its time. Produced by Bryan Singer and released long before streaming originals became the norm, H+ explored a world where humanity was permanently connected through neural implants until a catastrophic virus wiped o

By Justin D Williams Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass know exactly what kind of movie it wants to be: a goofy, weird, fast-moving comedy that fully commits to its ridiculous premise. I respect the way it leans into the chaos. The story follows Gail Daughtry, a small-town hairstylist whose relationship falls apart after her fiancé actually uses their joking celebrity sex pass. Instead of just accepting the embarrassment, Gail decides she is going to even the score by f

By Justin D Williams After watching the entire third season of My Adventures with Superman, I can confidently say the series remains one of my favorite modern interpretations of the Man of Steel. What has always worked for me about this show is that it understands Superman at his core. Clark Kent is not defined by his powers, but by his compassion, optimism, and desire to help others. Season 3 keeps those qualities intact while expanding both the mythology and the relationshi

By Justin D Williams Kevin’s Series of Unfortunate Events is a romantic comedy that nails the absurdities of modern dating. Dating apps, awkward hookups, mixed signals, and walking red flags become the backdrop for a fast, funny, and surprisingly sweet film. The story follows Kevin, a hopeless romantic who keeps putting himself out there, even when the universe keeps giving him every reason to stop. By day, he works at a school as the Online Safety Salamander. This already gi

By Justin D Williams I had a good time with Masters of the Universe. This is the He-Man movie I wanted because it understands that the franchise should be big, colorful, heroic, dramatic, and a little ridiculous in the best way. It embraces the sword, magic, world of Eternia, and the unique energy that makes this property special. The movie follows Prince Adam as he steps into his destiny and becomes He-Man, protector of Eternia. It’s a classic hero’s journey that works here

By Justin D Williams The Furious is exactly the kind of action movie I love. It wastes no time pretending to be something it's not. It knows the audience wants intense fights, hard-hitting martial arts, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and nonstop chaos, and it delivers exactly that. The story follows Wang Wei, a father whose daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network. With no real help coming from the system, he is forced to take matters into his own hands. Along the way, he cro

By Justin D Williams I wanted Scary Movie 2026 to feel like a real comeback for the franchise. With Anna Faris and Regina Hall returning, plus the Wayans family back involved, it had all the pieces to bring back that wild parody energy the series was known for. I was hoping for something ridiculous, funny, and sharp enough to make fun of modern horror while still feeling like its own movie. What I got was a movie that was entertaining in parts, but also messy and uneven. Stor
