Hey y’all—here’s the live author talk I moderated with writer Jordan Clark at Fantom Comics about his series Ancestral Recall from AHOY Comics. We get into the Milestone Initiative origins, what it means to make “black history a literal superpower,” the collaborative groove with Antigon Ilhan, and why the book’s villain is a sentient AI […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Black History as Superpower: Jordan Clark at Fantom Comics appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

Polite Society is a fun and playful homage to 70s martial arts film that also mixes in Jane Austin-style romance and early 2000s teen comedies. The core sister relationship of Ria and Lena ties this fun remix of styles together to make a great theater experience. Grade: B Carmen feels like an interpolation of the […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Polite Society, Carmen, and Peter Pan & Wendy review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

Alright, let me tell everyone from the jump I’m biased on this. Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. are some of the earliest memories in my life. Playing games with these characters are dearer to me than superhero comics, so after suffering in middle school with the old 1993 movie, I just expected that there […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Super Mario Bros.

D Spinning Gold is not good folks. This film that is sold as the story of Casablanca Records is about Neil Bogart, one of the founders, and from the way, the film tells it the driving force behind this label and the artists on it and somehow their music. I sat in the theater, mostly […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Spinning Gold Review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

A fantastic performance from Teyana Taylor anchors this film about a mother and son that goes in ways you wouldn’t expect... The post Ignorant Bliss: A thousand and One review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

They finally have made a good adaptation of this game to film. The film has the right amount of humor and respect for the source that works for those who know it and those who have no idea but want a good time.  B THANK YOU TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS ON PATREON!

This film goes from plucky tech success stories into an international business and political thriller and back again. It’s nothing as you’d expect from a video game film and is just as engaging as the game is.  B+ THANK YOU TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS ON PATREON!

Now I’ll be honest and say I’m not a huge Luther fan. While I know it exists, it isn’t something that really ever made me want to watch. Idris Elba as a tortured, genius detective that hunts serial killers is a dope idea, but that first episode almost put me to sleep, and I like […] The post Ignorant Bliss Review: Luther – Fallen Sun appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

People, we finally have Woody Harrelson back in a basketball movie!!! In this film, Champions Harrelson plays Marcus, a G-League assistant basketball coach. After blowing up on his head coach (played by Ernie Hudson) and getting a DUI, he does community service. That community service is coaching a team with intellectual disabilities. The movie starts […] The post Ignorant Bliss Review: Champions appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

I didn’t get a chance to watch Scream, aka Scream 5, last year, but after the teasers and trailers for Scream 6, which takes place in Manhattan, it not only made me want to go and see this movie and also made me want to go back and watch the last one. With strong Jason […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Scream VI review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

Hey folks, here’s a discussion with Vulture critic and friend Roxana Hadadi about the first season of the The Last of Us. I reviewed this show before it aired, and I didn’t want to attempt to do weekly podcasts about it and wanted to just do one at the end. Roxana has been covering the […] The post Ignorant Bliss: The Last of Us Season One review with Roxana Hadadi appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

Sigh, here we are again, with me seeing and reviewing another entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This episode focuses on Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, who is also Ant-Man, and The Wasp, aka Hope Van Dyne, played by Evangeline Lily. Way after the events of Avengers: Endgame and somewhere in the current happenings […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.

In a surprising third entry of Tatum and Soderbergh’s stripper who no longer wants to be a stripper any more franchise, we see Mike Lane, aka Magic Mike, brought out of retirement to help a wealthy socialite Max (Selma Hayek) put on a new type of theater experience in London. Soderbergh and screenwriter Reid Carolin […] The post Ignorant Bliss: Magic Mike’s Last Dance review appeared first on Ignorant Bliss.
