The Razed Earth Blossoms
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Then again, there wasn't always a Valley, either. Before the dragons' arrival, this land was little more than a craggy wasteland stretched out at the edge of a range of jagged mountains. What few oases existed in this corner of the world were themselves near-barren. What little life sustained was violent, cruel, and unrelenting in their constant struggle for survival. Even the vultures hunted the living.

Here's the Thing About The Cuphead Show! on Netflix
Gamers love Cuphead. Or gamers love to hate Cuphead. It really depends how much someone's appreciation for rubber hose animation and whimsical characters outweighs their disdain for continuous boss fights that occasionally devolve into sheer bullet hell (or vice versa). Since the game was released in 2017, it has been nominated for dozens of awards and taken home nearly half of them. The resounding success quickly spiraled into the announcement of The Cuphead Show! in 2019. Now, nearly three years later, the series has finally arrived on Netflix. If you've made it this far, it's probably safe to assume that you'd like to know a little bit more about the series, so let's make this your official minor spoiler warning for what's ahead.

Unfortunately, these changes more often than not end up in wilted spinach and lightly used running shoes rather than an entirely new lifestyle.

Here's the Thing About Centaurworld Season Two (part one)
Centaurworld returned about a week ago for its second and final season, something that somehow caught me completely off guard. Maybe it was the quick turnaround time on the last eight episodes, or that I had missed the news of a second season entirely, but my anxiety skyrocketed when I saw that thumbnail on my Netflix home screen. Then I remembered that it was definitely just the fact that the first season ended the way that it did.
