Apple’s #ImperfectWomen E3: Finally a plot. Eleanor is a deluded, wealthy dilettante & Robert is a master manipulator. The real "monster" is just boring privilege. Washington is still wooden, but Moss is carrying the show. One more ep before I bail. 😴 2/5 stars. #PowerOfPop #TVReview
Apple’s #ImperfectWomen is "prestige" for "expensive & slow." A murder mystery that forgets the mystery for Eleanor’s romantic delusions. Washington’s wooden, pained expression is distracting, especially next to a stellar Elisabeth Moss. One more ep before I bail. 😴 #PowerOfPop #TVReview
The Bee Gees’ R&B era is the best argument for firing your orchestra and hiring a groove. Main Course did more for pop music than the critics of the time wanted to admit. If you only know them from the SNF soundtrack, you’re missing the actual revolution. #BeeGees #TheSonicArchive #PowerofPOP
Whistle (2026): A prestige cast trapped in a bottom-tier cliché. Keen & Nélisse deserve better than this Final Destination retread. It’s high school theater for people waiting on a food delivery. Just rewatch Weapons instead. 吹 #WhistleMovie #PowerOfPop #Horror
Hijack S2E8 stuck the landing. Sam Nelson winning via a "simple logical solution" is the kind of genius writing thrillers usually dodge. Producers are surely crazy enough for S3. At this rate, Sam can’t even go to a store without a hijacking. 🙄 #Hijack #PowerOfPop
Disney spent $4B just to retread the Original Trilogy. Lucas’s rejected sequel treatments—The Whills, the "microbial world," and Leia actually rebuilding the Republic—were "too weird" for a board of directors, but at least they had a pulse.

One of my favourite movies of the last decade! Highly recommended. Check out my review and catch it everywhere it turns up!

Hijack S2E7: Jess takes a bullet while Sam walks with a scratch. Typical negotiator’s privilege. Chief Ada is the only one with a brain cell while MI5 begs the Germans not to shoot. Robert Lang is still LARPing as a mastermind while his plan burns. Plot armor level: Max. 🙄 #Hijack #PowerOfPop
The Rig: A Derivative Eco-Horror That Fails to Thrill
open.substack.com/pub/kevinmat...
Eco-horror thrillers aren't that common. Maybe that's why "The Rig" failed to land. But that didn't stop it from having a second season. Streaming on Amazon Prime. #Review #Substack #PowerofPop
Keeper is a 90-minute exercise in "prestige" stagnation. Atmospheric, sure, but ruined by an antagonist so inept he identifies the exact likeness that leads to his own demise. Predictable and ponderous. #PowerOfPop #Keeper

The media landscape is a DMZ. 📺
Between corporate shills and rage-bait trolls, storytelling is getting lost in the static. We’re moving past the noise to find the middle path for pop culture.

This is where my understanding of music and M's begins to correspond; music collapsing and rebuilding and getting away from what it is 'supposed' to be and going into walls at full speed... #powerofpop #thesamerivertwice #builditfromtheboard
