Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Posted by: Matthew Ardill  •  June 6, 2026 @ 6:05pm

In May of 1983, I sat on the Vancouver SkyTrain with my uncle and father and literally vibrated with excitement. I had just seen an army of Ewoks assist a ragtag Rebel Alliance take down a galactic fascist empire. I was 9 years old and this was squarely in my wheelhouse (and unknowingly helped inform my spirituality, politics, and love of science fiction and fantasy for the rest of my life).

Review: The Muppet Show (2026)

Posted by: Matthew Ardill  •  February 4, 2026 @ 4:12pm

For many of a certain age, the Muppets are a fixture of our youth. The Muppet Show was a show we watched with our parents where we heard jokes that we both laughed at, their movies taught us about friendship, and they were a part of pop culture from top to bottom.

Review: Monsters University

Posted by: Randy Hazzard  •  June 20, 2013 @ 5:39pm

It is rare for a prequel to approach its subject without blatant reference to its predecessor. With Monsters University, I never got a sense that it was a forced story trying to expand or offer insights to moments that happened in Monsters Inc.
