SummerSlam 2024 Review

It’s time for SummerSlam 2024, just a few hours away from my backyard. But here’s the thing: we don’t go to Cleveland because it’s Cleveland. Boom! Weird Pittsburgh loyalty in the dissing of Cleveland. I’m just kidding, Cleveland. You have a great amusement park. There are at least two different signs in the SummerSlam pre-show crowd that say “Drew McIntyre Eats Corn The Long Way”, … Continue reading SummerSlam 2024 Review

Stew’s Reviews: Illuminati

Conspiracy theories would be fun if they weren’t so dangerous sometimes. As of this writing, we are still in the throes of COVID-19. I am saying it like that because I am hoping very much that by the time this goes out, that will all be over. But… it doesn’t seem likely. Anyway, there are already so many objectively silly theories around our little pandemic. … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Illuminati

Ricky Stanicky Review

I know this is controversial, but I love that so many movies are straight-to-streaming these days. It really gives me a chance to catch up on outings that I might have skipped out on in theaters, and because there is less financial pressure to succeed, we are getting more movies released in this format. Instead of just getting canned, these movies are finding homes and … Continue reading Ricky Stanicky Review

Stew’s Reviews: Firestorm

I don’t tend to review a lot of older books for this column, I know. It’s not entirely a conscious choice. Historically, when I have reviewed books from before, say, the 1990’s, they don’t typically get the attention that books from that era onward do. And I am a man of the people! Folks tend to want to read comics from the timeframe in which … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Firestorm

Something Tara-ble Happens: A BTVS Retrospective, S5 E19-20

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 19 We open episode 19 with Buffy going to one of her college classes, but don’t get too excited… she is just there to drop the class.

Stew’s Reviews: Street Fighter X GI Joe

I’ve never been a big Licensed Property kind of guy. When I read comic books, I want to read comic book characters. I don’t pick up a comic book because I want to read Stranger Things story. If I want Stranger Things, I’ll watch the show. When I want a comic book, I want Spider-Man. Or Jubilee. Mostly Jubilee. Not to say I am direly … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Street Fighter X GI Joe

American Werewolves 2: The Skinwalkers Review

I am admittedly not much of a believer in things that require faith or in things that are supernatural or extraterrestrial. My personal thoughts on the matter are that I don’t have superpowers, so why should it be fair if, like, Bigfoot or aliens visiting earth exist! Someday, though, I’m sure my latent heat vision or something will kick in, and we can revisit this … Continue reading American Werewolves 2: The Skinwalkers Review

Stew’s Reviews: Daredevil Yellow

As I write this, I am in the middle of “social distancing”. Even though I’m not that far ahead on articles—only about two or three weeks nowadays, whoof—I’m curious where we as a society will be by the time this is published. Coronavirusmania is currently running wild. All public schools are closed for the next two weeks in my state. The NBA and NHL seasons … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Daredevil Yellow

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 17 With the best episode of the series in our rear-view mirror, it’s time to see if we get back to business or what. While I appreciate a well-crafted episode about the death of one of the show’s worst characters, I also recognize there is precious little time left this season to deal with Glory, who has been … Continue reading Mombie: A BTVS Retrospective, S5 E17-18
