American Horror Story S8E1: The End
Ah, yes, we’re back: another season of TV’s bizzaro sideshow act, American Horror Story. And this is a show that I will always come to with great interest, because, no matter how bad it’s gotten (and it’s been bad), there is always something there to keep me engaged: the camp, the gore, the gleeful evil, the talented actors, the magic direction. I’ve reviewed the last couple of seasons (Roanoke and Cult), and really enjoyed writing about them week to week, because trying to make sense of this screeching mess of a show is just – well, it’s the kind of pointlessly difficult task I like to throw myself into for my own masochistic sense of self-brutality. This season, Apocalypse, brings together seasons one and three, with the promise of a post-apocalyptic nightmare drenched in Ryan Murphy’s inimitable sense of camp horror fun (oh, and since you’re obviously the kind of deviant who would be into that kind of thing if you’re here reading these recaps, check out ALPHA FEMALE, my new femdom erotica series that’s available for download right now!)

ALPHA FEMALE Part Two Release!
Whee! Happy Sunday, one and all, and thanks to the bunches of you who downloaded the first part of ALPHA FEMALE last week! I really hope you enjoyed it, and, if you did, please feel free to hop on over and leave a review!
The second part of the series is here, and it’s a whole lot kinkier, as Syd finds herself caught up in a kink party and realises her desires may run deeper than she ever imagined:
Syd has started to come to terms with the fact that her feelings towards female domination are a lot more complicated than she first thought, but she has no idea where to take them next. When her kinky friend Ava invites her to a play party in the city, she knows it’s the chance she needs to explore her new desires in a deeper way. And she soon finds herself drawn into playing voyeur to an intense femdom scene that sends her spiralling into a world she never knew she wanted to be a part of. But, unbeknownst to her, there’s someone she knows at this party – and they might just be exactly what she’s looking for…
You can get the next part of the series right here, and, if you want to catch up on the first part, you can download it for free here! I really hope you’re enjoying reading the series as much as I’m enjoying writing it, and, as ever, thanks for your support!

Bojack Horseman Season Five: Some Wild Predictions
So, the next season of Bojack Horseman is right around the corner, and, this being one of my all-time favourite shows ever in the history of television, I’m pretty fuckin’ excited! I wrote about last season’s dealings with perfect bottle episodes here, and the history of misogyny here, but this time I’m going for something a little lighter – well, as light as I can get while talking about this show, at least. With the new trailer (below) freshly released, let’s shoot some guesses for what the newest season of Bojack Horseman might hold!

Movie Review: Upgrade
Just some Leigh Whannel fangirling
(small spoilers ahead)
So, I think it’s fair to say that I’m a big fan of Leigh Whannel. His iconic movie Saw, which he starred in and wrote alongside long-time collaborator and star in his own right James Wan, was really my introduction to the kind of horror I love: pretensions of cerebrality, but at it’s heart, dense, entertaining, twisty-turny character-driven screeching panic. Beyond that, he’s gone on to have a killer career in some of the best-recieved and most-watched horror franchises of the last ten years, including Insidious (the third movie of which was his directorial debut). He’s a dedicated purveyor of horror, gleefully dedicated to the genre and all the toys he can play with within it.
Is Whannel the finest writer or director out there? Certainly not – his work has a blunt edge to it that doesn’t work for everyone, and he clearly subscribes to a…
