    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…

    The Two-Part Wolverine Audio Drama

    Right from the beginning, “Wolverine: The Long Night” is different from other super hero audio dramas. The first episode builds up a murder case where Logan becomes the primary suspect by the end of it. The Long Night itself is tonally different from the second season on a different feed titled “Wolverine: The Lost Trail.”…
