Welcome to Airplane Mode!

I’m James Fahey, and this is Airplane Mode: a blog dedicated to film, television, and calling the latest hit show Overrated. Each week, I post reviews and commentary usually about movies and shows that are dominating Twitter conversations, whether that be Oscar talk, the latest HBO series, or MCU blockbuster. Sometimes I delve into less-than-prominent releases, other times I recap all the multitudes of media I’ve consumed over a given week. There’s some variance here, but at the end of the day, my goal is simply to get my thoughts out on what I’ve been watching. If you find that at all compelling, consider subscribing for free!

Because, yeah, that’s the whole thing about this Substack:

I’m still a 24-year-old trying to figure out life, so I can’t justify making this criticism business a paid enterprise just yet. I may open up a paid tier or two in the future, but in the meantime, this will remain a non-payment enterprise. I want people to read what I write and to enjoy it without a paywall. So hit the subscribe button to get film reviews and commentary sent straight to your inbox!

Airplane Mode? Why Airplane Mode?

Because when you go into a movie theater, you put your phone on Airplane Mode!

…or I guess actually it’s just me that does that.

…

Whatever. It sounds cool.
