Luke Cage: “All Souled Out”
“All Souled Out” is a strange episode, because, on paper at least, it does a lot of things that I usually ding Luke Cage for: it’s overlong, meandering, overly expository, the title….

Luke Cage: “I Get Physical”
“What’s new in the zoo?” Captain Ridenhour asks an informant. Well, it’s tough to say: a lot and a little. “I Get Physical” only serves to continue the place-setting begun….
Luke Cage: “Wig Out”
Luke Cage is so frustrating to review this season. On one hand, “Wig Out” features what may be the best scene not only in this show’s run, but in any Marvel….
Luke Cage: “Straighten It Out”
The pacing on Marvel TV shows can be truly maddening. There are stretches of “Straighten It Out” wherein it feels like Luke Cage is seriously spinning its wheels, repeating points it’s made….
Luke Cage: “Soul Brother #1”
The smartest thing that Luke Cage does in its season two premiere, “Soul Brother #1,” is start in the middle of the action. This has always been a show that embraces its….

The Walking Dead: “How It’s Gotta Be”
(This review is going up late because of personal reasons. Sorry about that.) Margaux joins me so we can tear apart the lackluster, uninspired mid-season finale of The Walking Dead. Trevor: “How….
The Walking Dead: “Time for After”
Next week, The Walking Dead will air its mid-season finale. Whether it leaves us awestruck, or limps across the finish line remains to be seen, but with the (temporary) end looming, it’s….
The Walking Dead: “The Big Scary U”
Margaux rejoins me to talk about last night’s Negan-heavy episode of The Walking Dead. Trevor: Am I losing my mind, or have the last two episodes of The Walking Dead been kinda….
Marvel’s The Punisher: “3 AM”
I want to get something out of the way real quick: I love the Punisher. He’s one of my favorite Marvel characters (you can’t really call him a hero) because….
