Hazbin Hotel (Season 2)
TV
Huge pacing issues & rushed storylines. But it’s strength is in it’s musical numbers & talented cast, who seem to genuinely love the show, which shines through. Christian Borle is spectacular this season. I don’t even care that they gave him a billion songs give him more

Hazbin Hotel: Live on Broadway
Stage Show (watched online)
Hazbin’s strength is in it’s musical numbers (more on that when I finish S2) so a singalong was a natural choice for a live show! I loved how much they showcased the cosplayers in the crowd, you can tell that they truly love their fans.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Film
The first new Marvel thing I’ve watched all year and I liked it! Great costuming, they blended 60s era-appropriate suiting with fun & campy design, and it worked well. I also adore a good retrofuturism aesthetic. Also Pedro Pascal was in it so immediate smash

Over the Garden Wall
TV
So beautiful! And so much depth for such a short series. I loved how it explored darker themes but still kept a light and whimsical atmosphere. It has this beautiful muted, autumnal colour palette that reminded me of watercolour paintings.

Stellar Firma Live
Stage Show
So deeply chaotic. My face was hurting from laughing. The Meredith bros kept clambering on and off the stage and somehow made it funny every time. The crowd had a really good energy, too! I’m sad we couldn’t stay for the meet & great because I would’ve loved to say hi.

Frankenstein: The Anatomy Lesson
Documentary
Really interesting deep dive into how Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was made. He’s present at every step of the production process which is great to see, but also knows when to step back and allow his team to work their magic.

Transformation (reread)
Book (3 Short Stories)
Read this on the train before lending it to my friend Vesper. The first & last stories are compelling, but the 2nd one is a little dull to me. What can I say, I like it when Shelley writes about monsters and scientific hubris.

Even better the second time around. Noting the use of colour, grading choices, continuous shots & musical motifs… and continuing to be abnormal about the costuming. Also, the bathtub scene.

I was very lucky to attend the premiere night for this show! Very interesting character studies of Archives & Protocol characters. Shahan Hamza’s acting was incredible. I was disappointed with how the audience acted at times but it didn’t affect the show itself.

My favourite novel, which I re-read to celebrate the new film. I had a really fun time noting the differences between the book and the film, and also noticing how many themes were still carried over into it too.

Despite many changes from the original novel, Guillermo del Toro fully understands Shelley’s work. It’s simultaneously a very different take on the story while also an expertly done adaptation. Beautiful and grotesque.
