I love Indie games. What they lack in budget and graphics, they make up for in gameplay, narrative, and ingenuity. When the economic risk is reduced, so is the pressure to copy and paste the latest blockbuster success with minor iterations, and we get, to our delight as gamers, something new and interesting. Something truly […]

I tried to warn you.

For actor Jason Isaacs, ‘The White Lotus’ is just one of many acclaimed and beloved projects on his impressive filmography, which also includes ‘The Patriot’, the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise, ‘Sex Education’, and ‘The Great’, among others. So for Isaacs to say he’ll “start weeping” when Decider asked him about his work on ‘The OA’, it […]

Do you people even know what’s coming?

Chuno: The Slave Hunters is a 2010 South Korean historical drama packed with just as much action as there is romance. Set during the country’s Joseon Dynasty, which lasted from 1392 to 1897, the saga follows fallen nobleman-turned-slave hunter, Lee Dae-gil, and his two trusty companions, General Choi and Wang-son, who serve as bounty hunters […]

The Hindi film industry has been going through non-stop transitions ever since COVID. The pandemic halted production and theater attendance, and in the lull, the top tier talent all got married (to each other) and started having families. Alia Bhatt proved in a big way that children are no longer the early ticket to retirement […]

I’ve dabbled in anime, seen enough to identify landmarks in the genre, but not enough to become fluent in Japanese or start a cosplaying career. That being said, I think Erased is one example of a standalone masterpiece that transcends the category in a way any TV buff would lose their minds over. Rich in […]

Disney’s latest live action remake of Snow White faced a slew of negative PR Long before it ever hit theaters, the film most notably received backlash from the dwarfism community, where actors like Peter Dinklage felt the film reinforced “backwards” stereotypes, and Jason Acuña felt that the choice to animate characters took work away from […]

I have watched hundreds of hours of Bollywood films in my lifetime, and no one has graced a screen or captivated more attention than our girl ‘Aish’.

As an entertainment writer, I am always catching up on new content, and this week, two new releases converged in a very disturbing experience for me as a viewer. As I was watching Michelle William’s new drama, Dying For Sex, on Hulu, which is about a woman diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, I was served […]

Korean dramas are know for their well, drama, and no one has done it this well since the Ancient Greeks. Preferring a longer sixteen episode arc than their American counterparts and gravitating towards limited series that deliver a satisfying conclusion to each story, K-Dramas have the perfect palette for weaving high-concept plots that twist the […]

Shah Rukh Khan is the cultural reference for anyone trying to make an impact with Indian audiences, and everyone from former President Barack Obama to Dua Lipa and David Beckham have paid hommage to the Badshah of Bollywood and his legendary film career.
