    Run It: Stray Kids Intend to Take Over the World

    I have watched Stray Kids ATE times now, and every time I have left with the specific ache of having been somewhere that mattered. The second was at their Inkigayo appearance during the “Lose My Breath” era. The only time they preformed the song live. (My scream in pure silence for member Changbin was later, […] More

    Netflix Opens Doors to Casino Films

    Read the logline twice if you need to. Martin Scorsese executive producing a Las Vegas casino drama for Netflix, Oscar Isaac starring, the Billions creators running the show. Nobody’s bluffing. The Roman is an eight-episode series from Brian Koppelman and David Levien, with Isaac playing Bobby “Bobby Red” Redman, president of the hottest hotel casino […] More

    BTS at Allegiant Las Vegas and ARMY Devotion

    I lost it during “Attack on Bangtan.” Over 60,000 people at Allegiant Stadium, night three of the Las Vegas run, and the moment the opening hit I stopped being a person with opinions about music and became a body screaming in the dark. Somewhere in there, after a Jungkook moment that did not deserve what […] More

    Larks & Recs: The 50th Anniversary of Tommy in IMAX

    I don’t go out to the movies very often. The older I get, the less patience I have with the average movie audience. They talk, they sing along (if applicable), it’s just not worth it. Some things are worth the risk, though. Tonight I went to a 50th anniversary showing of The Who’s Tommy in […] More

    Composer Ceiri Torjussen on Crafting the Haunting Musical Soul of Netflix’s Delhi Crime Season 3

    Delhi Crime Season 3 plunges into some of the series’ darkest emotional terrain yet, and composer Ceiri Torjussen faced the challenge of building a musical landscape that supported that intensity, while keeping the tone grounded. In case you aren’t familiar with the show, Delhi Crime follows a police force as they investigate high-profile crimes in […] More

    Believing in the Unknown

    Last year saw the release of Unknown 9: Awakening, the debut videogame of Reflector Entertainment. I’d first seen snippets of the game through trailers over the year, though it had also won the award for Best Announcement at Gamescom four years prior, in 2020. The trailers showed the game’s protagonist, Haroona, played by Anya Chalotra, […] More

    Scoring the Sound of Rebellion: Andrew Gordon Macpherson on Composing Into the Void for Hulu

    Heavy metal has always existed at the intersection of power and chaos—a genre defined by its extremes, by the tension between control and abandon. For composer Andrew Gordon Macpherson, translating that intensity into music for Hulu’s Into the Void meant finding the emotional core beneath the distortion. The docuseries dives deep into the mythology of […] More

    Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Review

    Shiver me timbers, Yakuza has entranced me once again! There’s something that holds undeniable charm about this treasure of a series. Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (or Pirate Yakuza, as I will refer to it from this point on) is worth its weight in doubloons. The good-natured, heartwarming storytelling returns, with a bit […] More
