Mission: Impossible Series (1988-90)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Most people to whom I’ve spoken about the 1988 Mission: Impossible series have either never heard of it or can’t differentiate it from the original 1966-73 series. It only lasted two seasons, but it still featured Peter Graves as leader of the team. It also…

KPop Demon Hunters
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2025) I admit I was interested in this from the moment I saw the trailer. The hype growing around it fueled that interest. My kids however were closer to the demographic toward whom KPop Demon Hunters was aimed and therefore found themselves faced with that…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1961) I’d always avoided this movie because it was described poorly to me. The descriptor explained, “It’s about a male prostitute who meets a female prostitute and they fall in love.” This description horrified me as I had just given a copy of the film…

Stroker Ace
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1983) Apparently Burt Reynolds does comedies that involve driving and/or racing. And the understatement of the year award goes to Professor Popinjay. Cannonball Run, Cannonball Run II, Smokey & the Bandit, Smokey & the Bandit 2, White Lightning, White Lightning 2-in-1, Driven, Gumball 3000. Okay…

Backrooms (The)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2026) A word started getting tossed around a while back. “Liminal spaces” was the topic of the month amongst my children. They had become entranced with computer generated videos of long blank hallways, endless tile-covered echoey corridors with impossibly deep pools of water strewn about,…
