Sean Mekinda is a fan of all things auteur and weird. He's currently one of the hosts of Beating a Dead Horse, a podcast all about death in media. The first movie he remembers loving is The Iron Giant. The first movie he remembers hating is Alien VS Predator Requiem. He currently lives in Columbus, Ohio with his girlfriend and two needy huskies.
We all know the drill, so say it with me: “this week offers another alright Preacher episode. It has its moments, but it’s also not particularly great. There are some alright goofs, a decent shot or two, and some good dialogue, but we’re still stuck on the whole ‘plot’ thing.” I really wish I could […] More
Day One reviews showcase early thoughts of recently released games. At this point, I have played Borderlands 3 for approximately six hours, having arrived on the second planet, Promethea, about an hour ago. The Borderlands series has come a long way since the first. Borderlands one featured no real antagonist and minimal storytelling, preferring to […] More
Honest question: can we keep Jesse, Cassidy, and Tulip on the same continent for longer than a single episode this season? They don’t necessarily have to be together, but at least within driving distance as there seems to be a correlation between proximity and episode quality. “The Lost Apostle” put them all in Australia and […] More
Nintendo is back at it, dropping announcement after announcement in the most recent Nintendo Direct. And you if you missed some of it, or lost track of everything in the commotion, fear not. Here’s everything that was announced, trailers, and release dates in one nice little package. Overwatch – Releasing October 15, 2019 Overwatch for […] More
Preacher has finally done it. It has moved passed Masada and on to new things and immediately the episode feels better than most of Season 4. Not only is this a good episode, not only is it clever and funny, it also got me excited for next week. Sure, the dread that this will all […] More
We’re officially halfway through the final season of Preacher and I’m starting to get a little worried. Sure, I haven’t been particularly kind to the first few episodes of the season, but I’d been holding out hope. The show has always been a little uneven so I thought maybe the back half of the season […] More
There are pretty strict guidelines for a good episode of Preacher. A good episode will be snappy, it will be weird, it will push boundaries, and most importantly it will move the plot forward. Those are the basic tenets that kept the previous seasons (especially Season 1 and Season 3) moving so well, and why […] More
Buckle up, because this season is going to be all over the place in just about every sense of the phrase. The first few episodes have already shown us the highs and lows of Preacher. We’ve split the group across multiple continents and we’re keeping up with the Tarantino-esque non-chronological sequences. Even when the episode […] More
Preacher has been talking up The End—the apocalypse—for quite some time now, and the Season 4 premiere really wants you to know it’s coming. In just part one of the two-part opener, we get one literal extinction event, one vision of the apocalypse, and a preview of the ending of Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy’s journey. […] More
There’s been a Tony Hawk shaped hole in the video game world for a while now. Skate has been missing for nine years. Session was announced last year but has been radio silent ever since. Thankfully, a hero is emerging. One to bring us out of this drought. It goes by but a single name: […] More
Summer Games Done Quick (or SGDQ) is right around the corner. Returning Sunday, June 23, the charity speedrunning event is back for a week of people playing games really fast and raising money. But what exactly is speedrunning, and why should you tune in? What is Speedrunning? Speedrunning is honestly pretty self-explanatory. Remember growing up […] More
I was left feeling lukewarm from the first season of Love, Death and Robots, but it seems Netflix chose to ignore my review and go ahead and renew David Fincher’s science-fiction anthology for a second season. As of right now, little is known about how the second season is going to look or when it […] More
