It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for. Was it worth the wait? We got a lot of info dumping this episode, which was inevitable given Ahsoka’s grand entrance. We learned a LOT about Baby Yoda’s past (including his name). Furthermore, an important Imperial antagonist still lives and may make a future appearance. “Chapter 13” functions […]

The Mandalorian S2 Ep4 Review
I wasn’t expecting that, and that’s a good thing. Okay, I finally conceded to the Mission of the Week format. It’s obviously staying. The showrunners made that clear at this point. Luckily, our favorite duo’s side quest packed plenty of action and foreshadowing. We find ourselves back in Nevarro (where all the interesting stuff happens […]
The Mandalorian S2 Ep3 Review
Now we’re getting somewhere! Quite literally. In my earlier reviews, I lamented at the lack of clear plot progression. “Chapter 12” succeeded in knocking my opinions flat on their backs. We not only meet other, native-born Mandalorians. A crucial detail about our protagonist materializes: he’s been indoctrinated. Fans have long speculated Din was adopted by […]
When Hearts Are Involved by Phabian Mitchell Review
***Trigger Warning: Book Contains Depiction(s) of Sexual Assault/Rape*** Love can be a harrowing experience, one that is further complicated when multiple players are introduced. When Hearts Are Involved, Phabian Mitchell’s debut novel, posits a question few gay men dare to imagine: What do we do when we have it all, and it still isn’t enough? […]
Megan Thee Stallion “Good News” Review
Megan Thee Stallion’s album Good News has arrived, and problematic men need not apply. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for everyone’s favorite Houstonian, but we won’t cover all of that in this post. One, there’s too much to go over. Two, you’re probably already up to speed anyway. Instead, I want to offer […]
Phabian Mitchell Talks Writing His Most Difficult Scene, Entanglements, & More
Phabian Mitchell is one of the Internet’s best-kept secrets. He’s one of the creators of the the hit YouTube parody series The Legends Panel (a worthy follow up to Got 2 B Real) and voices many of the show’s characters. Whitney Houston, in particular, is one of my personal favorites. Of course, that’s not all […]
The Mandalorian S2 Ep2 Review
Yup, it’s another dungeon quest and Boss battle. I’ll give kudos to this episode for trying something different (or for not forcing us to look at sand anymore). “Chapter 10” offers a subtlety in the place of clear plot momentum. We still have the main objective: find the Jedi. However, as I mentioned in the […]
The Mandalorian S2 Ep1 Review
Are there other important planets besides Tatooine? The Mandalorian kicked off its season premiere with more of the same and came across as more of a retread of earlier story elements. After a fantastic season finale, many fans were expecting a narrative shift that would more directly follow the reveals and outcomes of the season […]
