So, I somehow just dubbed Pages 1-14 of my newest comic, The Punishment. And I think it might be my most LARGEST comic dub to date! 

[thisisnotthenerd]

with misfits & magic season ii coming out on 9/25, it's time for a spreadsheet update!

links to the relevant sheets:

thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats: the og spreadsheet. where this all started.

d20 episode randomizer: watch orders! go here to see all of the episodes listed in various ways, and to pick a random episode!

d20 seating chart stats: the table and how it plays out every season. check the compiled chart for basics on each character

anyways, on to the stats!

general stats:

total episode count: 251, spread over 22 seasons.

there have been 8 main cast / intrepid heroes seasons, that make up 147 of the 251 episodes, or 58.5% of the total count. if we include oneshots in this count, the count goes up to 151 of 251, for 60.1%.

total runtime: 541:54:53. that's 3 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 54 minutes and 53 seconds of dimension 20.

average runtime: 2:09:32. the median is 2:08:32, which i thought was funny. the episode that's closest to the average, with 2:09:33, is 'the house always wins' from a starstruck odyssey.

some more recent updates: never stop blowing up has the third-shortest average (1:49:18), following fantasy high (1:39:43) and coffin run (1:43:16).

nsbu is the shortest of the 10-episode seasons, with a total runtime of 18:12:59. compare that to the longest 10-episode season, the seven, with a runtime of 23:55:12.

for mismag, this is our first sidequest sequel season. aabria is the first guest dm to get a sequel season of her own (matt is a little diff by virtue of brennan running acoc). it's the first KOB sequel season as well--that speaks well for d20 expanding their game systems.

mechanically, they're now using a version of nsbu called never stop making magic, so i'll be tracking stat explosions this season as well. i do think d20 is leaning towards expanding the systems they use, so we'll see how they continue to expand going forward.

it's also the first odd-numbered sidequest season, with 11 episodes. by december 5, we'll have had 16 episodes in the world of mismag, which is just under a main cast season.

player stats:

aabria's back in the dome for her 7th season, and 4th as the game master! with an 11 ep season she's up to 59 episodes, and remains the most common guest on d20. at this point she's the second in-house dm. she has the Q4 10-ep season on lock. the first sidequest sequel season is hers.

brennan is up to 21 seasons and 257 episodes (including time quangle and mismag ii). he now has 2 seasons on the right, evening his split out a little bit (3:2)

lou has dethroned ally and taken the top player spot, with 12 season and 187 episodes. he has a new fave seat, with 4 seasons in L1 as well as R3.

erika isn't far behind aabria, with 47 episodes and 6 seasons. they're split between L3 and R2 (2 each)

danielle's joining the ranks of what i consider the recurring guest cast, with 3 seasons and 22 episodes under her belt. she's behind rekha and izzy (tied with 36), erika, and aabria.

production notes:

in terms of production, the release of the time quangle episodes puts us at 45-46 episodes for 2024, depending on when the december releases start. this also sets us at a total of 268 episodes by the end of 2024.

if we include all of the adventuring parties, adventuring academies and various other d20 auxiliary content, 2024 might take the cake for the most total episodes, dethroning 2021.

i'm guessing that this was the first season filmed after brennan's parental leave, so they're probably still 6 months to a year ahead of the releases

production calendar is looking like main cast season in Q1-Q2, varying number of sidequests/oneshots through Q2 and Q3, with aabria/another guest dm in Q3-Q4. depending on when aabria's season starts, they may start the intrepid heroes' season in Q4 going into the following year. general disclaimer that this is just a guess.

[j4gm]

By my count, as of the end of the Fionna & Cake miniseries, there are now a grand total of 303 episodes of Adventure Time:

278 original episodes (counting TMYM and CAWM as one each)

10 minisodes (5 Frog Seasons, 4 Graybles Allsorts, and The Wand)

1 bonus episode (Diamonds and Lemons)

4 Distant Lands

10 Fionna & Cake

Including title sequences and credits, these 303 episodes have a total runtime of 62 hours, 47 minutes, and 53 seconds. If you did nothing but watch Adventure Time and sleep, that would take you four entire days.

[stedesbonnets]

as my beloved friend @theosrose said yesterday when we were talking, the sheer lack of any scenes between stede and ed this season makes it feel very strange, and since i've got nothing better to do today, i've decided to compare the amount of screen-time stede and ed share in season 1 vs season 2*

* i mean scenes in which they are alone, or in company but the focus is only on them (like the restaurant scene)

season one:

ep3: their first meeting (25:17-25:38). total: 21 seconds

ep4: opening (02:22-02:42), "who's this mary then?" (09:51-10:48), stede wakes up (13:41-14:31), aux wardrobe (14:57-16:56), "do you wanna do something weird?" (18:36-21:11), "we need to be a lighthouse" (26:51-27:38), ending (29:43-31:10). total: 535 seconds

ep5: books looting (01:32-01:49), dining lessons (02:26-04:18), going to the party (04:51-05:21) (i cut it right when frenchie enters), entering the party (09:10-09:48), ed playing the piano (15:29-15:57), stede telling ed to stand down (20:31-21:04), passive aggression (25:17-25:36), moonlight (26:11-27:12). total: 337 seconds

ep6: opening (00:11-02:30), ed almost kills stede (15:46-16:00, 16:16-16:25, 16:49-16:55), bathroom scene (18:00-20:44). total: 332 seconds

ep7: opening (00:10-01:10), treasure map (05:11-05:56), the moth (10:45-11:12), restaurant scene (12:00-13:30), after lucius calls ed out (17:35-18:40), co-captains (24:29-25:07). total: 325 seconds

ep8: "i mean in hindsight i probably could've guessed" (11:22-48), nature walk (12:40-12:52), the beach talk (16:43-17:28), ed leaves (22:18-22:52), foot nudge (33:07-33:35). total: 145 seconds

ep9: ed shaves off his beard (13:33-15:27), the kiss (16:44-19:58), last conversation (21:02-21:35). total: 341 seconds

interesting note: although stede and ed share the last amount of scenes in ep9 (only 3), the total amount of time spent together is the second longest in the entire season. also, the kiss scene is the longest scene in s1.

TOTAL NUMBER OF SCENES: 35

TOTAL NUMBER OF TIME: 2036 seconds, or 33.93 minutes

the total runtime of s1 is 5 hours 6 minutes 45 seconds, or 306.75 minutes. 33.93 out of 306.75 in percentage is 11.06%

season two:

ep1: opening (01:12-02:17). total: 65 seconds

ep3: reunion (27:43-29:44). total: 121 seconds

ep4: opening (00:00-00:28), "you're not a mermaid" (03:17-03:35), "i like your beard" (10:09-10:46), "i love everything about you" (17:23-19:43), stede inviting ed back to the ship (24:00-24:53), "buttons turned into a seagull!" (26:40-27:02). total: 298 seconds

ep5: "i'm your captain" (03:22-04:50), moonlight kiss (25:20-27:44). total: 224 seconds

ep6: guilt room (03:01-03:22), poison into positivity (04:53-05:47), don't be pirates, kids (07:47-08:17), the almost dance (11:38-11:54), the love scene (22:10-22:27, 22:43-22:50, 23:25-23:32). total: 152 seconds

ep7: the morning after (01:02-02:18), dining and dashing (04:19-05:57), ed giving stede a lesson in being famous (06:03-06:43), ed leaving (11:59-13:51). total: 326 seconds

TOTAL NUMBER OF SCENES: 21

TOTAL NUMBER OF TIME: 1186 seconds, or 19.76 minutes

the total runtime of s2 (minus the finale) is 3 hours 16 minutes and 2 seconds, or 196.033 minutes. 19.76 out of 196.033 in percentage is 10.07%

CONCLUSION:

while the amount of screen time in percentage is similar between the seasons, s2 has significantly fewer scenes with stede and ed. additionally, the time they spend together per episode in s1 is much longer than in s2, and the scenes are stretched out throughout the episodes evenly. even during s1ep8, in which they share the least amount of screen time due to being separated, stede and ed still share 5 scenes, unlike s2ep5 which separates them for the longest amount of time (20 minutes!)

so far in s2, stede and ed share way less scenes than in s1, and when they do, they are shorter and often oddly spaced. for me, the best laid out episode is episode 4, while the worst is episode 5. interestingly, they share the least amount of screen time (after ed wakes up) in ep6, despite having the love scene in it. in my opinion, most of their scenes in s2 feel less earnest than in s1, and are so short i can barely savor them. this is ultimately the result of hbo cutting off two episodes, but also an issue of giving the crew too much spotlight, making stede and ed's plot line feel rush and poorly planned post ep3.

i have no doubt the finale will fix most of stede and ed's issues, but the scarcity of the scenes they share (and their contents) make their arc feel watered down to me, like the writing crew keep beginning to say something meaningful but getting cut mid sentence

Tonight's Runtime for Critical Role Episode 53 is 4 hours and 22 minutes including art reel, break and post reel. The break will start at 2 hours and 33 minutes into the broadcast.

new dorian electra album dropped and to no ones surprise the best song is also the longest one. (rambling about the runtime of modern music under the cut but tl;dr "yes man" is the longest in their entire catalogue now and im just looking at numbers not to hate on them but as a case study. overall fanfare is good everybody go stream it.)

would u believe its also now the longest in their entire catalogue. "yes man" is 5:26. previously that title belonged to "control" which clocks in at 4 minutes exactly. which i cant help but attribute to the four features on that song.

from their previous two albums though, the longest yet has been "career boy" at....... 3:37. this was previously their only song from their TWO albums to not only hit but also surpass the 3:30 mark.

this all surprised me so much just now looking up but now that im aware of the whole "tiktok audios influencing artists to write shorter songs with a punchy tiktok-audio-potential moment" phenomena i cant help but look out for it on new releases honestly, so while flamboyant may be remaining to be my favorite dorian album, i am absolutely enjoying the extra two songs (vanilla flamboyant and my agenda both having 11 songs each, not counting bonus tracks and remixes) and those extra minutes that are clocked in on fanfare. theres only three songs in total on fanfare that surpass 3:30 but im still savoring it and hoping they feel the energy with "yes man".

the last of the numbers for those final runtimes:

flamboyant - 31:17

my agenda - 20:30 (BRO???)

fanfare - 41:14

my agenda only has two songs that even make it to 3:00 so that explains that.

anyway, fanfare is a great album and most of the songs are actually just 15 seconds shy of hitting that 3:30 mark, leaving not only my agenda in the dust, but surpassing flamboyant by an entire ten minutes. im enjoying that about it already, and im grateful it broke dorian's trend of those super short songs from my agenda (i do love my agenda btw, this is not a dig at that albums sound or concepts, just me wishing it was freakin LONGER because its GOOD lol).

stream fanfare. or at least go listen to yes man and just vibe with it and savor it, you will understand at the 3:53 mark trust me. i even linked it if u scroll up im so serious if you read this far and havent heard their music before first of all i love you and second of all. you cant read all this and not listen to yes man cmon. <3

[wolfsplosion]

what's your favorite twrp song/album!

(visibly shaking) I HAVE VERY NORMAL AND NOT INSANE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS QUESTION , THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING ,

my favorite song of all time (TWRP or otherwise) is Polygon!! it just scratches my brain so good!!!! I listened to it on repeat so much last year that I had like 2.5k streams, spotify wrapped practically handed me an autism diagnosis over it .. when I heard them play it live last tour my soul left my body for the entire 3 minutes and 53 second runtime

runner up fav songs: FOOD BAR, Planet Bass, Top Secret, Typhoon Turnpike, Under the Sun, Life Party (this one makes me emotional so I have to be in the right mood to listen to it or it'll make me cry, I'm lame ik), Synthesize Her, Need Each Other, Maximum Thrust, and Descension from the Cosmic Horror EP if that counts bc I love synth metal oughh

as for my fav album THAT'S HARDER TO PICK .. there's something to love on every album tbh!! it's probably between Together Through Time and New & Improved ?? but let it be known that the race for 1st place is a close one between like, all of them

.......also stream Lord Phobos's solo music for clear skin 💅

Timestamps for Jaskier living his best bisexual life in Season 3

Put together for @bishkebab but really for anyone who wants to enjoy a bard-centric watch or rewatch.

I've tossed in brief descriptions of what happens in each scene while trying to avoid big spoilers (though reading what happens in a later episode could spoil you for previous ones). The * marks a scene important to his romance arc with Prince Radovid.

This is actually the time given on the right-hand side of the screen/completion bar showing the remaining minutes in the episode, because that was the easiest for me to get accurately on Netflix, so smaller numbers are closer to the end of each episode.

Episode 1: Shaerrawedd

32:52 - 28:22* Meeting one love interest while mid-argument with the other one. Rolls right into a short scene with Geralt, Yen, and Ciri.

19:42- 15:16 Fight scene, Jaskier gets a few reaction shots and is even helpful; the best parts for bard-lovers happen from 16:13 on.

10:09 - 8:38* Follow-up with Radovid + another character from the earlier meeting.

Episode 2: Unbound

(Scene starts right after title card) 54:33 - 53:20 Some muppety goodness with Geralt

50:10 - 44:35 There's some plot-relevant exposition here but also Jaskier making friends with a cat (and flirting with Liz Carr's character) and otherwise offering charming reaction shots - and then sadder/scared-er emotions from 45:30 on.

35:08 -33:40* Going to Radovid for a favor, he winds up agreeing to sing for him + a roomful of fans.

24:09 - 20:38* Sings "Extraordinary Things" and has an extremely subtext-laden conversation with Radovid.

14:56 - 13:21 (*) Not Jaskier, but some of Radovid's perspective on events, and this scene has him doing his best to fulfill the favor Jaskier asked.

Episode 3: Reunion

(From beginning of episode runtime) 1:01:32 - 58:08* The Most Important Scene. Bisexuality: confirmed. Tits: out. His girlfriend Vespula: amazing.

58:07 - 53:02 This runs right from the previous scene but is rather different in tone and amount of visible cleavage. Geralt calls on Jaskier to comfort a distressed child (brief reference to the deaths of preteen girls) while they bring her to a druid for help.

38:00 - 33:25 Getting on the same page with Geralt about the conversation with Radovid's people back in Episode 1, winds up giving Geralt an idea how to help the child. Things get more distressing and perilous as this scene continues but Jaskier is helpful again!

23:15 - 20:08 No onscreen Jaskier but Geralt wraps up the druid plotline, makes plans to keep the child safe with her, and announces his destination (and Jaskier's) for the next episode: Aretuza.

Episode 4: The Invitation

44:33-40:56 Meeting Geralt (and Ciri) at the coast. They want to take a ferry to Aretuza but the ferryman's scared of a sea monster. Luckily the passenger list includes a witcher and a half, plus Jaskier. Unfortunately it also includes Jaskier's mortal enemy.

37:29 -35:50 Geralt and Ciri are on monster watch while Jaskier's in a snark battle for his life. You can watch a bit past 35:50 if you want to see Geralt and Ciri continuing their father-daughter chat.

31:35 - 27:40 The monster finally attacks, ending Jaskier's misery. He's kind of helpful in the background of the fight scene, keeping other non-combatants safe.

21:52 -18:41 Reuniting with Yennefer. She gives Jaskier the job of babysitting Ciri and the two of them do some lip-reading with poetic license at Yen and Geralt's expense.

(runs from previous scene, new location) 18:40 - 13:13* Sweet babysitting shenanigans, singing "A Little Sacrifice," and suddenly - enter Radovid. Without spoilers, I'll say that chemistry read between Joey Batey and Hugh Skinner sure proved itself. Wow.

Episode 6: Everybody Has a Plan 'Til They Get Punched In the Face

45:50 - 44:13* The morning after.

Biphobia is alive and well and as proof, that's all we get of him in this episode, though his fellow members of the Rience Hate Club will enjoy the bits around 31:00 - 30:32.

Episode 7: Out of the Fire, Into the Frying Pan

(right after title card) 52:00 - 48:15* Looking for Ciri, Geralt, and Yen, Jaskier finds Radovid instead. As a bonus for the Jaskier-cut watchers, Radovid provides him with a summary of major plot developments from Episode 6. (Biphobia is alive and well and as proof the camera omits the hand-holding around 49:28. We all know it's happening! But still!)

Yennefer gets him further up to date (and hugs him!)

The bulk of this episode is Ciri-centric. At some point I can't find the timestamp for, she sings "A Little Sacrifice" for a cute Jaskier-and-his-Pocket-Princess-bonding-moment. In terms of Joey Batey's face being onscreen, he gets to flex his muscles at acting sad and scared from around 11:41 - 11:24 in a hallucinatory scene that reaffirms his and Ciri's love for each other in the cruelest possible way.

9:54 - end of episode. Jaskier wins his way past some distrusting dryads to see Geralt, in part by singing (in Elvish!) "Enchanted Flowers." He catches Geralt up on events that have happened during the Ciri-centric midpart of this episode; unfortunately it's all bad news. Hopefully their hand-holding is comforting, though.

The credits music for this episode is Freya Allen (Ciri's actress) singing a badass dark reprise of "A Little Sacrifice."

Episode 8: The Cost of Chaos

1:03:14 - 1:00:39 (until title card) Geralt's an understandably impatient patient, but at least he has Jaskier to hold his hand again and otherwise enable him.

48:44 - 46:26 Jaskier composes some songs while Geralt continues recovering. And pledges to compose more (plus an epic poem) if Geralt gets himself killed going out to find Ciri prematurely. (The scene continues between Geralt and another character until around 44:33)

(Around 38:30 Yennefer appears to supercharge Geralt's healing, which is a helpful plot event to know if watching the Jaskier Cut)

35:30 - 33:33* No Jaskier, but Radovid's side of the romance nears its conclusion (for this season). You can stop at 33:33 if you want a happy ending, or watch past that til the scene change if you're okay with blood and want to know the rest of what's going on. 28:16 - 26:52 wraps up Radovid's plotline (for this season! I'm holding out hope!)

24:55 - 21:02 Jaskier's composing the credits song for this episode when Dara (Ciri's elf friend from Season 1, who also shows up in Season 2) says hello. Then on to making a Witcher potion. Jaskier cheerleads Geralt through his training sequence, still composing.

13:04 - 7:21 Jaskier fails to dissuade Geralt from a final fight scene of the season (sorry, Jask, Geralt's in the right on this one, they had it coming), but again proves very helpful in a non-combatant way!

Credits music is Joey Batey singing "Ride Witcher Ride"

Let me know if you'd like a rundown for Season 2 as well (it's a less rich tapestry since there's less Jaskier and the bisexuality isn't canon yet, although there are moments it's hard to read heterosexually, and wow is it fun to realize nobody expects me to do that again!)

The first 7 minutes or so of the tie-in miniseries Blood Origin also have some great moments, including Jackier being audibly not not into it when a supernatural creature mimics his face (can't blame him, it's a sexy face, amd Joey Batey is excellent at being ominous) and also canon confirmation that he has good self-esteem, which I like in my bisexuals! (He's also there for like the final 2 minutes of Blood Origin's 4th and final episode if you're a completionist, and Joey Batey sings "Song of the Seven" over the end credits, which is the song Radovid references when he first meets Jaskier.)

Lord Of The Rings (Extendeds) Marathon - Disc Timing

My New Year's Eve tradition for the last several years has been the same. A full bottle of white wine, some plain rippled chips with french onion dip, and the 12-hours marathon of the Lord Of The Rings extended editions on DVD.

Because yes, at the end of 2023, my DVD player still works very well, and I still own several precious DVDs to use on it that you won't find on any streaming service.

Naturally, after a couple years, I decided to figure out the timing for when to start the last disc, so that the ring was destroyed right at midnight. Planning this out through the day, and including breaks between each disc for snacks and washroom, as well as a reasonable time for a nice dinner with my parents upstairs, you have to be a nerd like me to be so focused on the timing of when to start each disc for.

Well, aren't you all lucky. My math and timetables are below the cut!

So first things first, we need the runtimes for each disc for each movie. I have these extended editions that were distributed in Canada in 2002-2004 (yes, it has indeed been 20 years since Return of the King was in theaters).

The published "runtimes" include the credits at the end, I skip these minutes since I'm ready to switch discs right away.

Fellowship Of The Ring - 208 minutes official runtime

Disc 1 - 1 hour 46 minutes

Disc 2 - 1 hour 35 minutes

The Two Towers - 223 minutes official runtime

Disc 1 - 1 hour 47 minutes

Disc 2 - 1 hour 48 minutes

Return Of The King - 251 minutes official runtime

Disc 1 - 2 hours 8 minutes

Disc 2 - 1 hour 54 minutes

Now that we have those, the next thing we need is the timing of the ring's destruction on Disc 2 for Return of the King. My DVD player shows that these two key events happen at these times:

Ring dissolves into lava - 1:26:50

Sauron bursts into flames - 1:26:53

This makes 1:26:51 into Disc 2 the key moment you want to have play at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve. Working backwards from this math, Disc 2 needs to start playing at exactly 10:33:09 PM!

Next, I'll provide a couple sample timetables for when to play each disc through the day. I have shorter breaks in the afternoon, as I don't need as much to worry about in the afternoon. In the evening, I allow a dinner break, as well as longer snack/washroom breaks between each of the later discs.

Sample Timetable #1

Fellowship Disc 1 - 12:00PM - 1:46PM

Fellowship Disc 2 - 1:50PM - 3:25PM

Two Towers Disc 1 - 3:30PM - 5:17PM

One hour dinner break

Two Towers Disc 2 - 6:15PM - 8:03 PM

ROTK Disc 1 - 8:10PM - 10:18PM

ROTK Disc 2 - 10:33:09PM - 12:27 AM

Sample Timetable #2

Fellowship Disc 1 - 12:00PM - 1:46PM

Fellowship Disc 2 - 1:50PM - 3:25PM

Two Towers Disc 1 - 3:30PM - 5:17PM

Two Towers Disc 2 - 5:20PM - 7:08 PM

One hour dinner break

ROTK Disc 1 - 8:10PM - 10:18PM

ROTK Disc 2 - 10:33:09PM - 12:27 AM

[thisisnotthenerd]

back at it again with thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats.

this time we're talking runtime. this is referenced directly from dropout--i manually entered each episode into the spreadsheet, no shortcuts. why. times are recorded as hours:minutes:seconds. anyway:

overall runtime stats:

total runtime for all seasons of dimension 20 (at the moment, including oneshots and the episodes of Burrow's End that are currently out): 462:43:30. That’s the equivalent of 19 days, 6 hours, 43 minutes, and 30 seconds. Almost 3 weeks.

average runtime per episode: 2:10:21. around 2 hours per ep.

longest season by time: fantasy high sophomore year, with 52:13:31

shortest season: shriek week, with 7:49:30

season with the highest average: fantasy high sophomore year, with 2:36:41. this one is skewed by the long finale episodes, and the fact that this season was livestreamed rather than pre-recorded, as most d20 seasons are. this stat doesn't include oneshots, as those tend to be longer in order to contain a full narrative. the stats are listed though.

season with the lowest average: fantasy high freshman year, with 1:39:43. as the first season, fhfy tends toward shorter episodes overall--combat episodes usually ran shorter than non combat episodes.

longest episode: Spring Break! I Believe In You! (Part 2) from Fantasy High Sophomore Year, with 5:06:42. by far the longest episode of dimension 20. truly an unbelievable finale.

shortest episode: Brawl at the Black Pit from Fantasy High Freshman Year, at just 1:07:53. like i said, combat ran short during fhfy.

total number of episodes (as of 10/17/23): 219. this will change tomorrow, i know. i'll update when the season is over so i'm not neurotically changing this

total number of battle/encounter episodes: 106. again, this will be updated at the end of the season. quick note about battle episodes: this category includes all of the episodes with a designated battlesets, whether that was physical, on roll20, or on talespire. for theater of the mind, i narrowed it down to specific episodes that had designed encounters, and not just spur of the moment encounters, unless those spur of the moment encounters were significant enough to take up an episode. key example: fabian's no good very bad day in leviathan.

i marked whether you could finish watching a season in one day, with no breaks for each one of the seasons: this doesn't mean could you do it in 24 hours, it means you could do it without losing sleep. in the waking hours.

Dread by the Decade: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

👻 You can support me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

★★½

Plot: A doctor experiments upon himself, hoping to scientifically separate his good and evil sides.

Review: Despite its high budget and a powerful performance from Bergman, this remake is not much more than a defanged retreading of old ground.

Remake of: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) Source Material: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Year: 1941 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror, Gothic Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 53 minutes

Director: Victor Fleming Writers: John Lee Mahin, Percy Heath, Samuel Hoffenstein Cinematographer: Joseph Ruttenberg Editor: Harold F. Kress Composer: Franz Waxman Cast: Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, Donald Crisp, Ian Hunter, Peter Godfrey

------

Story: 2.5/5 - Its strongest scenes are merely retreads of its predecessor's. Any new material is repetitive and overlong.

Performances: 4/5 - Shaky accent aside, Bergman is devastating as the abused Ivy. Tracy, though, is less memorable, with his Jekyll being solid, but his Hyde little more than a brutish criminal.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Striking, especially during Jekyll's transformation hallucinations.

Editing: 4.5/5 - Wonderful combination of of fades, dissolves, and cuts. Jekyll's transformation are standouts.

Music: 3/5

Sets: 4/5 - Lovely and high quality.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3.5/5 - The women's gowns are gorgeous, but Jekyll and Hyde's costumes desperately needed more distinction.

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Rape (off-screen)

Domestic abuse

Animal death

Animal experimentation

Misogyny (mostly critiqued)
