The Rose of Versailles is a Japanese anime about Marie Antoinette, her female head bodyguard, and that pesky French Revolution. When it started, I wondered if they read far enough into the notes to realize it didn’t have a very … Continue reading
#Manhole is a familiar smelling single location thriller where a dude falls down a manhole and can’t get out. Seems like a remarkably narrow scenario… how hard is it to climb out of a manhole? Or follow the tunnels to … Continue reading
