The Wild Way Ghostface and the ‘Powerpuff Girls’ Are Connected

A human voice is a very powerful thing, and a distinct one can also be extremely memorable. It’s why we can pick out the voices of certain characters or actors without so much as a second glance. In the horror genre especially, we become very familiar with certain voices portraying the titular villains. After all, who would Chucky be if he wasn’t voiced byBrad Dourif? Or Freddy Krueger withoutRobert Englund? The same goes for Ghostface fromScream....

Venom 2 Review: Comic Carnage Reigns in Breezy Sequel

I was not a big fan of 2018’sVenom, a film that I felt was far too bogged down in its self-serious, gritty elements to truly take advantage of its more outlandish moments.
