Infinity Train Season 4 Struggles To Communicate the Importance of Communication

New DVD releasecommunicate, communication, importance, infinity, season, struggles, train

This article contains spoilers for Infinity Train season 4. Infinity Train has a short, but complex history. After a somewhat neglected run on Cartoon Network, the show received new life on HBO Max for a third season. Following that, however, it seemed unclear whether the show could nab another renewal. But enough online attention was garnered to achieve that fourth and final year. (HBO Max also seems to have a much more energetic desire for animated content than other similar networks and streaming outlets).  The first three seasons of Infinity Train are raw, honest, and stark. Its first season follows…

Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train Review – Anime Hit is a Smooth Ride

New DVD releaseanime, demon, movie, mugen, review, slayer, train

“No matter how many precious lives the demons take…A strong will can never be taken.”  It’s become a common tradition for the most popular anime series to get theatrical adaptations. It’s not surprising then that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the latest to make this leap considering the tremendous success of the anime and manga. These cinematic endeavors can sometimes be a mixed bag due to a tendency to function as recap compilations or entertaining sagas that ultimately become unnecessary filler in the context of the anime.  Demon Slayer’s movie, Mugen Train, chooses the best route possible here with…

New DVD releaseattack, episode, midnight, review, season, titan, train

This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 2 “You’ve achieved great things.” “No, not yet.” Fringe is a television series about an unstable rift between two alternate Earths where the survival of one depends on the destruction of the other. The characters on these opposing Earths both view themselves as the heroes because by nature the very existence of the other Earth makes it the “enemy.” Neither side functions as a villain, but this necessity for survival demands that they’re both viewed in this light anyway. The alternative is to accept that the other…

Infinity Train and Manifestations of Trauma and Abuse

New DVD releaseabuse, infinity, manifestations, train, trauma

In the third season of Infinity Train (subtitled Book 3), one single aspect among many sticks out: the shots of characters placing their hands on each other’s shoulders. In the crazy, random events that occur on this grandiose, mysterious train, characters reach out to each other, eager for connection, longing for trust, pining for affection.  Then when certain revelations disrupt understood and accepted relationships, the  meaning and of these gestures shift. Suddenly, reaching out for others is dangerous, portrayed as movements of panic, fear, control, and manipulation. They become violations of personal space. These denials devolve into warnings, then threats,…

Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula Review

New DVD releasebusan, peninsula, presents, review, train

Four years ago, the overused and increasingly predictable zombie genre got a shot in the arm with Train to Busan, a South Korean film from director Yeon Sang-ho about a young father desperately attempting to get his little daughter to her mother via train as a zombie pandemic breaks out all around them. Even if it veered close to outright sentimentality at times, Train to Busan differed from most of the films and TV shows we’ve seen in this genre due to its genuine bond of love between its main characters, and the flickers of empathy and humanity found therein.…

Snowpiercer Episode 9 Review: The Train Demanded Blood

New DVD releaseblood, demanded, episode, review, snowpiercer, train

This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers. Snowpiercer Episode 9 As a series, Snowpiercer has done a great job of respecting the power of a ticking clock. A lot of the actions that Layton and company have taken have been timed, measured, and planned out to the most careful of degrees to take advantage of something on the train, from a shift change to doors opening for lunch service, and that necessary clock-watching serves “The Train Demanded Blood” well during its tense, world-changing climax. The characters are acutely aware of the passage of time, of the ticking clock, of their opportunities slowly…

When Train to Busan premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as part of its midnight selection, it delighted and surprised as a South Korean zombie movie that kept things kinetic yet simultaneously claustrophobic on a train. The movie went on to be a darling among aficionados of action and chiller hybrids. Let’s just say its anticipated sequel, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, is aiming to broaden the scope a bit. Set four years later and in a post-apocalyptic hellscape where all of South Korea has been abandoned as a wasteland for the walking dead, Peninsula has turned a whole nation…
