Kevin Smith finally has a movie trilogy under his belt with the 2022 release of Clerks 3! And in this installment of A Proper Movie Trilogy, I explore how the theme of all three Clerks movies work together with the story thread brought over from the original Clerks movie to mold all three films into a proper trilogy that tells a story about how change is inevitable.

Thanks to reaching a Patreon goal, I answered an age-old question: Is Venom 2018 worth watching when you’re drunk? This Film Friday, I take another look at the Tom Hardy superhero movie -- completely drunk off wine this time -- to see if Venom 2018 is better when you’re drunk or if this film solely made so that the Spider-Man rights never leave Sony and return to Marvel is still as terrible...

Nevermore Academy, the school for outcasts in The Addams Family Netflix show “Wednesday,” contributes to modern-day mythos created by Addams Family Values by using Wednesday Nevermore Academy and its story to its allegory of being queer in a straight world that doesn’t want you.
