Volcano’s Reel Reviews

Welcome, my fellow hellish cinephiles, to another scorching edition of The Inferno Report, where we peel apart Earth’s cinematic offerings like the layers of an onion sizzling on a sulfuric skillet. Today, we turn our molten gaze to “Running Point,” the latest comedy series warming up the Netflix streams. Ah, “Running Point,” a hearty mix […]

Oh, dearest denizens of the underworld and cinephiles of infernal tastes, gather ’round as I, Vincent Volcano, grace you with yet another searing critique of modern “entertainment.” Today’s subject, brought to us by the purveyors of nostalgia mining on Netflix, is none other than ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6 Part 3 — or as I like

Ah, dear mortal cinephiles, once again we gather to witness yet another attempt from Earth’s film industry to redefine the word “mediocrity.” Today’s cinematic sacrifice on the altar of blandness is a little flick called “Heart Eyes.” Now, I can already hear the faint cries of the fans echoing in the molten pits, proclaiming this

In a world where we’ve apparently not had enough Peter Parkers to last us until the apocalypse, Marvel Animation blesses us with yet another Spidey incarnation—because, truly, what is Earth without its thousandth retelling of a teenager bitten by a radioactive spider?

Gia Coppola, the latest progeny to bear the Coppola crest, graces us with a rendition of a tale we didn’t quite ask for but found ourselves intrigued to witness. Starring

It’s hard not to feel nostalgic about the days when films had the good sense to burn a permanent impression on the soul rather than just flicker momentarily like a low-wattage bulb in a ghost-inhabited hallway. But here we are, gazing upon “Babygirl,”

Infernal greetings, my fellow film fanatics, and welcome to another volcanic review from the depths of cinematic purgatory. Today, we’re diving into the flashy vortex of “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.” Yes, strap in, because like a runaway chili dog, this one speeds through so fast that it leaves plot points gasping for breath. Now, don’t

Ah, dear tortured readers of The Inferno Report, it appears that this week we’re spelunking into the smoldering pits of RaMell Ross’s “Nickel Boys,” an emotionally-charged attempt at cinema that has all the fleeting resonance of Cerberus chasing his tail. First and foremost, “Nickel Boys,” perhaps best referred to as “Experimental Embers,” aspires to navigate
