Review: Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Squid Game
Do you have to remember anything about Venom to see Venom: Let There Be Carnage? Probably not – and that’s probably not a great thing. Also WTF is Squid Game on Netflix and why is it on track to be their most streamed show of all time after only 2 weeks? More about Venom: Let…

Review: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Zombieland: Double Tap

This all begs the question: Can we not just stop with the unnecessary sequels please?! “Maleficent Mistress of Evil” is about on par with the first, meaning mediocre when it’s at its best, awful when it’s at its…
