Only Murders In The Building | Season 4 Episode 1-7 Review

Only murders in the building has been one of the most consistent shows on streaming and season four continues its hot streak. When we last left the crime solvers, Sazz Pataki was shot and killed in Charles’ apartment from an unknown assassin.

Season three was, in my opinion the strongest season of the series but for better or worse, steered clear of the title of solving murders in the building and taking us to the New York Broadway scene. With season four focusing on the murder of Sazz, this takes us right back to the building for another title season.

One of the biggest draws to this series has been its stellar guest star list which truly exploded in season three with the addition of Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd but season four looks to top this with Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, Zack Galifianakis, Richard Kind, Kumail Nanjiani and Melissa McCarthy. This incredible lineup of guest stars all bring something special to this season and balance well with the main cast. Eva, Eugene and Zack are, especially great as they are cast to play versions of Oliver, Mabel and Charles. These dynamics add for some hilarious antics and interactions as they try and study the trio in order to play them in a major motion picture.

So far, Season four of Only Murders In The Building may not live up to the bar set by season three but a return to the building and a fresh lineup of guest stars adds a bit of extra gas in the tank to the murder mystery series. Fans of the series will love the fourth season as it builds much needed backstory on Charles, Sazz and the building.

The first episode of season four is available on Disney + tomorrow, August 27, 2024.

Rating all V/H/S/Halloween Segments

Like sorting through your candy after a night of trick-or-treating, V/H/S/ Halloween is a mixed bag. The eighth instalment in this cult-favourite horror anthology series comes up short of previous entries, but there are still a couple of treats in here that should satisfy your twisted cravings. A chilling still from V/H/S/ Halloween . Diet Phantasma This wraparound segment follows an R&D team testing a new low-calorie soda made with “real ghosts.” It’s silly fun, but gets a bit repetitive with each new test subject. The commercial playing during the end credits was a nice touch. Rating: ★★½☆ Coochie Coochie Coo This short feels like walking through a haunted house — but not in a good way. The plot is like something torn from a creepypasta thread. Everything is constantly being spelled out in a painfully obvious way. The practical effects and makeup are decent, and this is probably the only segment that comes close to being scary...

The Mandalorian Season 3 Review

Listen, I love Star Wars. I will always love Star Wars. The original and prequel trilogies were a big part of my childhood, and helped shape my love of cinema. While The Mandalorian isn’t among my favourites in the franchise, I thought it had a promising first season and a significantly stronger season two. Season three had so much potential, but a frustrating lack of focus held it back from greatness. This show’s always had a bit of an identity crisis, but it’s never been as clear as it is here. Does it want to be a procedural-style adventure of the week, or tell an epic, multi-season spanning arc? Season one leaned toward the former, while Season two found a satisfying balance of both. Season three tries to find that balance, but the overarching story it wants to tell is bigger than the few episodes allotted to do so. There are only 8 chapters, some barely over 30 min. That’s a fair...

Andor Season 1 Review

I’m going to make a bold statement here, but one I honestly believe to be true. Andor is the best Star Wars has been since the Original Trilogy. Fans in search of epic space battles, lightsaber duels, or a direct connection to the Skywalker Saga may walk away disappointed. However, those in search of a deeper, more mature entry in this long-standing franchise will bask in everything the show has to offer. Star Wars has always been more focused on telling a big, sweeping story filled with exciting action sequences. The galaxy always felt huge, but it never really felt full. Andor changes all of that, with a grounded and personal story unlike anything Star Wars has given us before. This is a thoughtfully constructed, character-driven series that adds depth and life to the galaxy in ways none of the movies or shows have been able to. With twelve episodes, this is the longest Disney Plus series yet, giving the story ample room to breathe and develop at a natural pace. It smartly avoids the...
