    The Harbingers Review

    Going into this series — a Tribeca official selection from 2025 — after finding it on LinkedIn, I expected something like “The Prestige” book or movie. What I got was something far more nuanced, emotional and not a simple revenge story. Also no dead women. With season two starting in a couple of days, it’s…

  • Slick Bracer, PI: A Four Star Murder

I couldn’t help, but compare it to “The Shadow” and that kind of colored my perspective when listening to this. The acting is…

  • The Magic of the Movies

    A fun and interesting story about what goes on behind the scenes of a movie. The logic behind it is fantasy and the writer expects you to just accept that. Which is all fine and good. However, it kind of comes out of nowhere. It felt, and I’ll say it again, crowbarred into the story–just…
