My final Lanterns recap is here! A solid ending that does right by John Stewart... but definitely doesn't beat the Surf Dracula allegations. (All of my Lanterns recaps are now available to FREE subscribers!)

ICYMI, Steffan and I have a lot of thoughts on Coyote vs Acme! "A love letter to effort."

my good bitch do you understand that this is straw

OUR DM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A POLYCULE WAS HE'S BEEN TELLING PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND GAME WITH HIS POLYCULE!! HE'S A DALLAS REAL ESTATE AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personally I think the release calendar for this movie is a human rights issue

Morgan and I WILL be recording an Overinvested ep on You Can See Everything.......... as soon as it comes out in the UK on NOVEMBER TWENTIETH. 💀

Out now on Overinvested: Our review of Coyote vs. Acme! Such a fun watch, and it's fascinating how much its anti-corporate themes overlap with the film's own conflicts with Warner Bros.

This is a rad as hell thing to say

wow www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

For our latest Patreon-only episode of Overinvested, @gavia.bsky.social and I talked about what we've been reading lately. Including raves from me for LIBERATION SUMMER, A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE, THE SONG OF STORK AND DROMEDARY, and more book chat: www.patreon.com/overinvested...

Have you complained about bad fandom journalism in a mainstream outlet in recent months? Do you want to help fund the reporting of people who actually know what they're talking about for the low, low price of $3.50 per month?

I love Avatar: Seven Havens! It skews slightly younger like ATLA, introducing a post-apocalyptic setting that revitalizes the Avatar world in a similar way to Legend of Korra - both visually and in terms of its political themes.

Gav's analysis of this show within broader corporate machinations is so smart. I get exceedingly frustrated when critics assess franchise media with a patronizing "this kind of thing will never be meaningful so it's great for what it is." The terms of 'success' might differ, but they still...exist.

Once again, the Nobel prizes have been given to a bunch of nerds while all the recent advances that jocks have made in football go unrecognised 😞

As @gavia.bsky.social writes her analysis of the Lanterns finale (no, HBO did not allow critics to see it in advance 🥲) it's the perfect time to catch up on recaps 1-7, which we've unlocked for free members!

Out now on Overinvested: @msclairebiddles.bsky.social discuss our divided reactions to Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma!

hello!! who loves OPINIONS!!

[Deep breath} When you predict Oscar nominations for a movie based on pedigree without seeing it, you are volunteering to aid in a publicity system that favors movies the campaigns for which are already well funded, and by doing so further disadvantaging films whose primary merit is their quality.

no uk release date yet for the nathan fielder/elizabeth holmes doc?????

In the penultimate episode of Lanterns, we finally spend some time in space—but as @gavia.bsky.social writes, "Everything alien is kept at arm’s length in this show." Read her critiques of Lanterns' uneasy genre balance, shying away from sci-fi, but not willing to commit to mystery or thriller:

It's almost October!! And at The Rec Center, that means it's almost time for 🎃 SEASONAL FIC RECS 🎃. - Vampires, werewolves, zombies, other supernatural creatures - Horror, eerie vibes - Halloween-specific stories (including fluff!) Canonical characters/worlds or AUs—please send us your favorites!

As we approach the Lanterns finale next week, catch up on @gavia.bsky.social's recaps of the season—you can now read (or listen to an audio version of) episodes 1-4 for free! Start here:

the increasingly exasperated undertone in my Lanterns recaps... a true "couldn't they just have done this Better" situation.
