The Small Screen Diaries: 11/09/26

Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries for the day is a fond farewell to the heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, who have unfortunately been replaced by former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham. Despite being creatively strong across the board, with the exception of Supergirl, it feels like they lived and died based on one movie. That’s incredibly rare, because if everyone lived and died based on one flop, nobody would be working in Hollywood. Especially Kevin Feige, who continues to remain at the top of Marvel despite having made films that haven’t even earned back their budgets. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 11/09/26

Even with that catchy“Remember, remember the 5th of November,” I still forgot to celebrate.And this is the 20th anniversary of V for Vendetta, a movie which,interestingly, did not actually open on the 5th of November.

But then, to compete with Groundhog Day, somebody creates their own version with a different animal on the exact same day, and nobody really pays attention to it. That’s the Gotham Awards. They’re that other thing that isn’t even Groundhog Day. The one thing … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/27/26

The Small Screen Diaries: 10/20/26

Kicking off today’s Small Screen Diaries with a little bit of renewal news that I’m incredibly indifferent about, mostly because the current season is dreadful. Well audio described, but absolutely dreadful. Not surprisingly, FX has ordered a 14th season of American Horror Story. You would think that 13 might have been a logical conclusion for the series, considering the significance of that number to the horror genre and just how long this franchise has been running, but apparently they’re going to keep this thing going, pedal to the metal. Anyway, enough about that. It’s time for the rankings. Taking the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/20/26
