Written by Carson Kelly -

A new listening experience is on the horizon for channel members. I’m happy to officially announce that on June 11, 2026 , I will be hosting a members-exclusive livestream debut for the full STARFALL LOFI album on my YouTube channel. This private event will allow channel members to hear the complete project early before it is released publicly, continuing a brand-new initiative focused on bringing exclusive music experiences directly to the people who support the channel. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Channel memberships have always meant a great deal to me, and I’ve been thinking carefully about ways to make that support feel even more special. One of the new directions I’m now introducing is early-access music events , where members can hear select releases ahead of time in a more intimate and exclusive setting. The STARFALL LOFI album is a project that means a lot to me because it allows the STARFALL universe to breathe differently. It is quieter, ...

Channel Members Get Early Access to the Official STARFALL Theme This May

  Something special is on the way for channel members. I’m excited to officially share that on May 14, 2026 , I will be hosting a members-exclusive livestream premiere for the official STARFALL Theme on my YouTube channel. This will be a private early listening event created specifically for the people who continue to support my work through channel memberships, and it marks the beginning of a new initiative I’ve been wanting to roll out for a while now. Moving forward, one of the new benefits of being a channel member will be access to select upcoming original music before it is released publicly. In some cases, that may mean hearing new music up to one month early; in others , possibly even longer, depending on the project and its release timeline. The official STARFALL Theme will be one of the first major pieces of music to launch as part of this new members-first experience. The STARFALL universe has been growing in many different ways, and music has always been one of the m...

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Episode 4 Review: One of the Best Episodes of the Series So Far

Written by Carson Kelly -

There are some episodes of television that feel like they arrive with a different kind of weight. From the moment they begin, you can feel that something heavier is in the air. Something more dangerous. Something that is not just moving the story forward, but actively changing it.  That is exactly how I felt watching Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2, Episode 4, titled “Gloves Off.” By the time the credits rolled, I was left stunned, excited, and honestly a little heartbroken. It's just great. For me, it is one of the best episodes of the entire Born Again series so far. What makes Episode 4 hit so hard is how complete it feels. The action is sharp and brutal, the emotional tension keeps tightening, and the pacing gives the whole hour a feeling of momentum that never really lets up.  There is no wasted energy here. It feels focused, confident, and dangerous in a way that makes you sit up and pay attention. It is the kind of episode that reminds you why this world works when M...

Falcon Lake (2022) Review – A Haunting Coming-of-Age Story That Stays With You

Written by Carson Kelly -
Image
  There are films you watch… and then there are films you experience . Falcon Lake is not loud. It does not beg for your attention. It doesn’t rely on spectacle, or jump scares, or grand declarations of love. Instead, it whispers. It lingers. It creeps in slowly and settles somewhere deep inside your chest, where it stays long after the credits roll. After a long journey, I found the right time to watch Falcon Lake. It feels good to have found that time and rolled credits on this film after waiting a long, long time to watch it. And when it ended… I just sat there. Quiet. Thinking. Feeling. Because this film doesn’t just tell a story. It leaves an imprint. A Story of Connection… and Distance At its core, Falcon Lake is a coming-of-age story built on the fragile, uncertain connection between Bastien and Chloé. And what makes it so powerful is how real it feels. There’s an awkwardness to their bond. A hesitation. A curiosity that never fully settles into comfort. You spend the ent...

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple — A Redemption I Didn’t See Coming

Written by Carson Kelly -
Image
  There’s something powerful about being wrong in the best way possible. Going into 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple , my expectations were low. The previous film, 28 Years Later , left me disappointed. It didn’t hit the emotional or narrative highs I was hoping for, and it felt like a missed opportunity within a franchise that once felt so raw and gripping. But the Bone Temple changed that for me completely. This film doesn’t just improve on its predecessor; it redeems it. From the very beginning, what stood out most was the dynamic between Spike and Kellie. Their relationship is the emotional core of the film, and it works beautifully. Kellie, in particular, immediately establishes herself as someone who sees beyond survival, someone who chooses connection over chaos. You can feel it early on: she’s not staying with Jimmy’s group. She’s choosing something different. And that choice defines the heart of the story. There’s a quiet strength in how Kellie looks after Spike, and their...
