Preston & Child flashback (Book review): Journalists aren’t supposed to become the story. But in this bizarre chronicle, you’ll see they can’t be blamed.
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): OK, it’s not even Christie’s best work about a train. But count me as an apologist for this Poirot entry.
Superhero Saturday (TV review): This is the definitive analysis of superheroes and how they bob and weave with American history.

Blogging ‘Saul’ (TV review): “Saul” Season 1 is the epitome of 2010s slow-burn serials, but in a good way. In fact: S’all good, man.
Hughes Day Tuesday (Movie reviews): These supposed family films are two exhibits in the case against the second decade of Hughes’ filmmaking career.
