"The Witcher: Blood Origin" Is a Chaotic and Highly Profane Fantasy Series That Is Sure to Be a Wild Ride
Welcome to the resistance! It may not be ideal to seek guidance on fighting authoritarianism from fantasy shows on streaming platforms, but we can still learn valuable lessons from them. One such show is "Andor," which can be found on Disney+. This show provides a detailed guide on how to organize a grassroots rebellion within the Star Wars universe. Another show that can provide insight on resistance is "The Witcher: Blood Origin," which can be found on Netflix. This show delves into the idea of resisting those in power, even when they have pointy ears.

Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles: Find and Replace Review
Back in 2010, when the idea of recasting anyone from Doctor Who who was no longer with us was still very much frowned upon, Big Finish released "Find and Replace", a Companion Chronicle that saw Jo Jones (nee Grant) travel back in time to the 1970s in order to confront her past, and reunite with her Doctor. In many ways, this is a very different type of Companion Chronicle: normally, they are reflections on past adventures by the companion from an older perspective, or occasionally two-handed dramatic conversations. "Find and Replace", however, is none of those things: rather, it is a chance for an older companion to step back into the life they left behind. And, in this case, with Jo Grant, it is an emotional rollercoaster, one that looks back on a well loved era of the programme with the due deference and respect that should be accorded to it.

My Review of "The Godfather Part II"
The Godfather Part II came out back in 1974 only 2 years after the first movie. Back in the day when I first saw this movie it was a revelation. I couldn't believe I liked this even more than the first movie when the first movie was so good! Today I put the two movies on par with one another. They're vastly different but parallel at the same time.

My Review of "The Sea Beast"
The Sea Monster is a Netflix exclusive animated feature released in 2022. It's one of their better animated features as well. There's a lot of heart and lessons in this movie that a lot of kids can talk to their parents about when this movie is over. Some of the lessons can seem a bit preachy but it's a good conversation to have with kids about.

My Review of "The Godfather"
The Godfather is a classic movie that came out back in 1972. It's an acclaimed movie that is worshipped by many. I have to admit I didn't watch it until I was in my twenties. When I did I actually did a 9 hour binge watch of the trilogy. It was that earth shattering for me. Never have I seen a movie with so much world building and believable motives than this series.
