Haunted Mansion Review
In his review of Disney Haunted Mansion (2023), ComicBook.com critic Charlie Ridgley says:ย
Disney’s new take onย Haunted Mansionย was always going to have its work cut out for it, thanks to the ill will earned from the 2003 film. Some wondered if the attraction was somehow unadaptable without Guillermo del Toro (who was once attached to helm the project). Enter the team of director Justin Simien and screenwriter Kate Dippold, who have made questions about Haunted Mansion’s adaptability feel rather silly. Theirย Haunted Mansionย movie is a breath of fresh air for everyone who has grown tired of Disney’s lifeless live-action output of late, as well as die-hard Haunted Mansion ride fans who have been begging to see a film actually give the attraction the love it deserves.

Twisted Metal Review
In his review of Peacock’s Twisted Metal TV series, gamer/critic Cade Onder said the following:ย
Twisted Metalย is a very charming show that manages to accomplish a lot in its ten 30-minute episodes. There are tons of well-earned laughs, a diverse cast of eccentric characters with fleshed out and unique backstories, and a surprising amount of world-building. It’s almost shocking that the show isn’t longer, given everything it does and how well it pulls it all off. While there are some areas that suffer, such as the vehicular action scenes, everything else comes together in such a satisfying way that it makesย Twisted Metalย another very successful gaming adaptation.
