REVIEW: Riverdale – Episode 3 – “Body Double”
Last week’s Riverdale ended with two strong revelations: Cheryl Blossom is guilty and that Jason Blossom didn’t die on the 4th of July as previously thought but rather a week later. Riverdale’s first two episodes were a freight train, and while episode 3, Body Double is a very enjoyable slice of television it veers too […]
REVIEW: Riverdale – Episode 2 – “A Touch Of Evil”
Following a slick, stylish and deceptively heartfelt series premiere, Riverdale has knocked it out of the park with the second episode, A Touch of Evil. Deftly continuing to build on the mythology of Riverdale and the mystery at hand, the second episode smartly shifts some of the focus away from grief and sexy, sexy danger […]
Riverdale – Series Premiere Review
Riverdale is Twin Peaks meets Archie. That sounds exactly up the Humanstein alley, but does that work or is it yet another grimdark reboot? Find out in the Humanstein review.

Netflix and Kill – HALLOWEEN EDITION
Happy October, spooky friends. With it being the last weekend in October, you’re either in the spooky mood or you’re trying to get there. I’m here to help, but there’s an unfortunate truth: Netflix hasn’t been doing an incredible job of bringing in horror films lately. Hell, they’ve honestly been doing a pretty piss poor […]
Ouija: Origin Of Evil – Movie Review
Back in the hazy year 2014, Stiles White made his directorial debut with Ouija. Reviews were – to put it mildly – not kind. None the less, the film was enough of a box office success to warrant the folks behind it, Blumhouse, making a sequel. The internet was less than thrilled and for good reason. […]
Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda – Mini-Review
My coworker Jason was kind enough to enable my pumpkin spice addiction by bringing in a couple bottles of Maine Root Pumpkin Pie soda. The soda seemed a little divisive around the office, and I can definitely see why, but I personally quite enjoyed it. Opening the bottle I’m immediately greeted by very strong spice […]
