Iβm absolutely exhausted by Lex Luthor. At this point, I would happily pay money to watch a $100+ million feature about a superhero trying to get a trickster to say his own name backwards. #mrmxyzptlk #superman

Who's going with me to go see Kang Dynasty?
This is one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen. #Adolescence #AdolescenceNetflix
Have you seen The White Lotus yet? It is βTransfixing,β according to me.
If I had a nickel for every time Dichen Lachman was abducted against her will by a shady organization and had her personality suppressed for the sake of a jerk with a crush, Iβd have 2 nickels, which isnβt a lot, but strange that it happened twice #severance
I've watched #DaredevilBornAgain, and itβs nothing short of sorcery. Brutal, captivating, and utterly defying every expectation I had for the series. Buckle up, because youβre in for one hell of a ride.
Happy Twin Peaks Day!
Well, we finally got ScarJo as Audrey. Thanks #snl50
In all honesty, Adam Sandlerβs SNL 50 song made me understand why he got over $200 mil from Netflix. #snl
Just in time for Valentine's Day, your favorite fine young cannibals have come back to play.
I saw the new season of "Yellowjackets," and have a few thoughts. Please enjoy:

Hello. I saw Captain America: Brave New World.
How was it?
"Anchoring the story within an election drama is a daring choice given the timing, but perhaps not as daring as expecting the audience to remember anything from 2021βs The Eternals."

Hello. I would like to interrupt your daily doom scrolling to state that I saw S3 of The White Lotus. If you can handle the slow burn, Mr. White will take places you didn't want to go and didn't need to see, but in the end, you'll thank him for it. My review: www.laweekly.com/unbinged-rev...
Hello. I saw Apple Cider Vinegar. Aside from offering a fascinating story of yet another millennial scammer, I enjoyed Netflix's vicious take down of predatory alt-health movements that target the sick and dying.

Iβm gonna need an opening dance number of all the different Chalamets represented in this yearβs race. #Oscars
Nonstop work with no downtime, vending machines with few choices, liminal spaces galore, and beige as far as the eye can see. The horror returns.
I saw the new season of Severance.

Today the world is a little less weird, a little less fantastic, a little less strange. Just a little less. RIP David Lynch
Merry merry and happy happy
I watched a slew of sugary sweet Christmas movies and made a guide for you lucky, lucky people. Around number 4 or 5, I might have lost my mind, which explains why the review of "Hot Frosty" was written to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman." Please enjoy.

This week on UnBinged...everyone gets Laid.
I take a look at the dark side of comedy and satire with a trio of new shows, including new Dexter: Original Sin, No Good Deed, and Peacock's Laid, where Sex and the City meets Tales from the Crypt.

Holidays at the Tonga Hut
An annual tradition... I'm sad that $11 Rabies Shot or $50 Sunset Parking will not be there, but happy to see Person Wearing a Letterboxd Hat at the Aero finally make it to one of the stages. I hope he rants about Tarantino.

"Thanks to Jared Keesoβs talents, a former one-note character best known for his litany of crass jokes involving mothers has evolved into a protagonist capable of setting the tone for prestige comedy."
