As you may be aware, Pokemon Go recently reignited my love of Pokemon and I made the somewhat unfortunate decision (for my time and by extension this blog) to pick up a Nintendo 2DS and a copy of Pokemon X. As a result, I’ve been, uh, preoccupied. I’ve had the game a week and I’d […]
Month: July 2016
Netflix and Kill – July 2016
July 2016 has treated us pretty well, despite what the forecast might have said. This month Humanstein is mixing it up a little bit and including some excellent spooky TV in the mix.

People just generally got their dander up because somebody was going to fry some macaroni. Those people are spoilsports, fuddyduddies and losers. I […]
The Purge: Election Year – Review
The Purge: Election Year is the third entry in the Purge franchise, and it feels like it. Sequels are tough and third films are notoriously even tougher. Few franchise are immune to it. From Jaws and Scream to Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the third film is hard and it’s usually one of if […]
