Fiction Podcast Review: “The Black Tapes”

April 11, 2020 by Michele Pariza Wacek Leave a Comment

How do you feel about paranormal activity or the Supernatural? Ghosts? Spirits? Demons? Do you believe? The Black Tapes is a serialized fictional docudrama podcast about one journalist’s search for truth, her enigmatic subject’s mysterious past, and the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both. I discovered The Black Tapes a few months back […]

Series Review: You on Netflix

August 2, 2019 by Michele Pariza Wacek 2 Comments

On the surface, You seemed like a series I wouldn’t enjoy. It’s about a stalker-turned-murderer who is obsessed with the woman he’s dating. It’s  (mostly) told from his point of view (there are a few instances when we flip to the victim’s point of view, but for the most part, it’s his story). As I’ve […]

Movie Review: “Mirage” on Netflix

May 3, 2019 by Michele Pariza Wacek Leave a Comment

So, first, it’s got a time-travel element to it, which always […]

Movie Review: Abducted in Plain Sight on Netflix

April 12, 2019 by Michele Pariza Wacek 1 Comment

Abducted in Plain Sight is a documentary based on the true story of an innocent and naïve family in Idaho whose daughter was abducted. Twice. By the same man. This is one of those stories that would never work as a piece of fiction, because no one would believe it. It’s the craziest story on […]

Movie Review: The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix

March 29, 2019 by Michele Pariza Wacek 8 Comments

“The Haunting of Hill House” is a Netflix series based on the novel by Shirley Jackson. At least, that’s how it’s billed. But, to be clear, the two are very different. They share the same title, the  same haunted house, some of the same character names but that’s about it. In the Netflix version, the […]
