i'm getting the distinct sense that not enough of you are watching the lowdown, and do you not like good things???? there are GOOD THINGS

Would you look at that? Fantastic Fest has an incredible lineup for its 20th anniversary and it just so happens that little old me will be there!

If you need coverage for your publication, let's talk! This will be my 5th year at the fest, so you won't need to worry about any hand holding.

Once upon a midnight dreary, @belenedwards.bsky.social and I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious episode of #Wednesday — Season 2 absolutely slaps. Read Belen's @mashable.com review: mashable.com/article/wedn...

With "Alien: Earth," Noah Hawley somehow manages to upstage Xenomorphs. It's awesome! Get into it!

My full review:

For a show that's so obsessed with time, The Bear seems to have no clue what to do with it. My full review of Season 4:

wrote about a tv trend i'm getting a little tired of because, what can i say, it's hard to care about affluent fictional characters getting away with their crimes.

My list of the 10 Best TV Shows of 2025 (so far) is up @mashable.com! Tune in for comedy recs, new must-see dramas, and sci-fi shows that continue to rock my world.

Before their Madison Square Garden show, I asked @dimension20.bsky.social to improvise a DnD character based on a few dice rolls. The result is both unhinged and my favorite video I've ever worked on. Shout out to our art team, Ian Moore and Zain bin Awais, for bringing the cast's creation to life.

Spoke with #Severance creator Dan Erickson about the game-changing "Chikhai Bardo," Gemma's official introduction, and which testing floor rooms didn't make the cut

The sex scenes in #Severance Season 2 raise a lot of compelling questions about consent, mostly, "is consent even possible in Severance?"

Wrote about the show's deepening examination of consciousness and consent over @mashableofficial.bsky.social:

I hesitate to call my shot on the year's best shows all the way in January, but #Severance Season 2 is IT (and more than worth the wait)

So many banger Game Changer episodes to choose from this year, but it's tough to beat "Beat the Buzzer."

For one of my last @mashableofficial.bsky.social stories of 2024, I wrote about how wonderfully Flow and The Wild Robot — two of my favorite movies of the year — tackle climate change.
