It's Magic, Charlie Brown (1981) - Rated 26 Oct 2026

The staunchly Christian Linus seems to take Snoopy's dabbling in the occult right in stride.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015) - Rated 24 Oct 2026

Started out as a fun, if repetitive Sailor Moon in Paris, but they've drug this show out at least twice as long as they should have. End it already.

Trio for Terror (1961) - Rated 21 Oct 2026

Packs three short stories into a single episode. The first is the best, the second good until a rather silly resolution, and third a cool if predictable tale of just desserts.

Prisoner in the Mirror (1961) - Rated 17 Oct 2026

Mostly really good, but the ending feels rushed with too many loose ends.

Carrie (2026) - Rated 15 Oct 2026

Every change this adaptation makes (and there are many) is for the worse. Too long, too many subplots, too preoccupied with setting up future seasons. Carrie herself has been airbrushed (aesthetically and character-wise) into nothingness. The new character Emaline is awful and singlehandedly ruins the big finale, completely removing Carrie's accountability for her actions (lest the audience lose its sympathy for her). The visual style is flat and boring, and even the big prom climax underwhelms.

The Leech Woman (1960) - Rated 11 Oct 2026

Better than the average movie featured on MST3K, this one at least demonstrates basic filmmaking competence - the story has three acts and everything! Both highly watchable and ripe for riffing.

Pigeons from Hell (1961) - Rated 08 Oct 2026

A solid little story, though I was a little underwhelmed after hearing from Stephen King et al. how this was THE SCARIEST TV EPISODE EVER, WOOOOOOH. Some narrative pieces didn't really click into place - I assume stuff was lost in adaptation. Still good.

Lanterns (2026) - Rated 06 Oct 2026

Yet another adaptation for "modern audiences" that's dismissive if not openly hostile towards its source material. After the Watchmen show, Damon Lindelof here continues his fetishistic obsession with race, up to and including rewriting the Green Lantern oath to make it more "hood". John Stewart is a villain by the end of the first season and no one can convince me otherwise. Maybe we were too hard on the 2011 movie - at least it had a sense of humor and a basic understanding of morality.

Robin Redbreast (1970) - Rated 06 Oct 2026

Rosemary's Wicker Baby. Very well-written and performed little folk horror tale, albeit clearly made for TV, with an ending that feels like a compromise. Worth seeking out for those who like this kind of stuff.
