This Hell’s Paradise review contains no spoilers. “A person’s true nature is reflected in the blade.” Every year there seems to be a new blood-soaked battle shonen series that claims to break barriers and redefine what’s possible in an ongoing action anime. Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man have all caused shockwaves in the
This Yellowjackets review contains spoilers. Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 2 The sick magic trick of Yellowjackets is that its characters are so richly realized that even when they do the most lurid things imaginable, they remain completely relatable somehow. In less capable hands, the visions of horror the show presents every week would be much

The Mushroom Kingdom is full of mysteries. Just what are the “Hell Valley Sky Trees” in Shiverburn Galaxy? Who is Bowser Jr.’s mother? And most crucial of all, what are Mario and Luigi’s last names? Do they even have last names? Ever since Nintendo hit the scene, gamers have flocked around the adventures of Mario
