Jab’s Reviews: HBO’s Oz

“OZ… that’s the name on the street for the Oswald State Maximum Security Correctional Facility- Level Four” This show stands out as one of my all-time favorites, despite a few hiccups. This was HBO’s very-first original series, before “The Sopranos”, “Sex and the City”, “The Wire” and others came THIS. The brainchild of series creator Tom Fontana, “Oz” takes place in the Oswald State Maximum … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: HBO’s Oz

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (116-120)

Mimete- aka Best Villain Ever. And we’re back for more! Chibi-Usa and her friendship with Hotaru (who is both genuinely sweet and kind, and also possessed by Satan) is now the focus of the show, with the “Outer Senshi” (Sailors Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) being bitchy and unhelpful to the younger Sailors again. EPISODE #116: Kind of a “filler” one- Chibi-Usa, Usagi & Hotaru disregard … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (116-120)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Robin Hood

ROBIN HOOD (1973): Written by: Larry Clemmons, Ken Anderson, Vance Gerry, Frank Thomas, Eric Cleworth, Julius Svendsen & David Michener Robin Hood came out at a time when Disney’s fortunes were a bit on the wane, and so some cost-cutting was required. After deciding to take the classic tale and make all the characters animals (a brilliant move- it instantly separated the work from the COUNTLESS Robin … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Robin Hood

Jab’s Guide To Pro Wrestling Terminology

Given that some of our articles here at SWO Productions involve the topic of professional wrestling, I thought there might be some of our fans out there that aren’t as well versed in the terminology some of our writers might use to explain some of of the happenings this great field of sports entertainment has to offer. Therefore, for today’s entry, I thought I’d deliver … Continue reading Jab’s Guide To Pro Wrestling Terminology

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor MooN S (109-111)

In this set- the debut of Super Sailor Moon! You can tell it’s a Super Form because it’s even more girly and detailed than the LAST one. And now it’s time to close the book on the first chapter of Sailor Moon S, as we uncover the Talismans that everyone’s been hunting for! And OMG, the whole “the Talisman holder will DIE if it’s removed!” … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor MooN S (109-111)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Winnie The Pooh & The Aristocats

The worst that one could say of The AristoCats is that it is unmemorable. It’s smoothly executed, of course, and enjoyable, but neither its superficial story nor its characters have any resonance.-Leonard Maltin THE ARISTOCATS (1970): Written by: Tom McGowan & Tom Rowe (Original Book), Larry Clemmons, Eric Cleworth, Vance Garry, Julius Svendsen, Frank Thomas & Ralph Wright BLEH. A movie all about jazz music (one … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Winnie The Pooh & The Aristocats

Jab’s Deep Dives: Preacher

With the fairly recent announcement that the Vertigo line will be ending, I thought I’d take a moment today to talk about one the the Vertigo titles that I’ve enjoyed over the years in Garth Ennis’ “Preacher”. The first Vertigo book I ever read was “Preacher”, based off of some online recommendations. Discovering a book full of gratuitous violence, swear words, nudity, and frequent Author … Continue reading Jab’s Deep Dives: Preacher

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (106-108)

The Sailors lend themselves REALLY well to fancy fanart. And we’re back for more episodes! Hopefully with MORE exposition, now that Chibi-Usa is back and we can start HER little bit of characterization. And we hit the halfway point of Sailor Moon S, which is good, because that’s about when they really kick things into overdrive. EPISODE #106: The girls are visiting High Schools now, … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (106-108)

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (101-105)

Sailor Moon and Mars reacting to Sailor Chibi-Moon’s debut. Pretty fitting. Welcome back! When last we left off, we learned that The Silence is coming- a potential… Armageddon, basically. The Sailors are all still after the Talismans, along with the villains known as the Death Busters. Kaolinite and the shadowy “Professor” are still engaging in their mad scheme. EPISODES #101 & 102: It’s Usagi’s birthday! … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (101-105)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Jungle Book

Vulture: “The kid’s clear, you can let go now.”Baloo: “Are you kidding?! There’s TEETH on the other end!” THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967): Written by: Rudyard Kipling (original), Larry Clemmons, Ralph Wright, Ken Anderson, Vance Gerry, Bill Peet The Jungle Book was the first film released after Walt’s death, though he had a big hand in the production of the feature. This one feels a bit funny, because it’s almost … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Jungle Book

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (97-100)

DVD Box Set wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Welcome back! We now enter the set that includes the ONE-HUNDREDTH episode of Sailor Moon (and is thus the mid-point for the entire series). We’ve just learned that the Talismans both sides are searching for are apparently to be combined into the Holy Grail, which will be wielded by The Messiah. In short: Shit is now Biblical. This one features lots … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (97-100)

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Jim Valentino!

First of all: we lied. Jab wasn’t QUITE done with Rob Liefeld yet! Because he initially forgot about YET ANOTHER team book Rob created for Image… Yes, Rob Liefeld created ANOTHER friggin’ superhero team in his first couple of years at Image Comics, the NEW MEN. Here, they’re another band of X-Men knockoffs who are “Nu-Genes”, which is the Legally-Distinct-From-Mutants of Rob’s universe… even though … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Jim Valentino!

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Sword in the Stone

THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963): Written by: T.H. White (original story), Bill Peet This is arguably one of the most forgotten Disney Animated Canon films, at least among those that were entirely one story and not collections of shorts. I remember it vaguely as a kid, because I saw something where an old wizard was shapechanging into animals along with a young kid. this seemed … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Sword in the Stone
