As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned more and more about how much I actually really like the character of Superman. For the vast majority of my comic book reading life, I have viewed the big blue boy scout as the apotheosis of boring comic characters. Too powerful, too plain, too unrelatable, and too predictable. I would occasionally read some Superman titles, but if you asked … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Secret Identity
EPISODE 21 Nearing the end of Season One, and we open this episode with The League coming to the cave to watch a video Batman has caught. It shows Conner training with Black Canary. After she takes him down, she pulls him up and they start kissing. Dinah is aghast and demands it never happened, but the video then shows Miss Martian turn from Canary … Continue reading Garfield Minus Young Justice: A YJ Retrospective, S1 E21-22
Ever since I absolutely fell in love with RRR earlier this year, I’ve been on a quest to ingest more Bollywood and Tollywood to see if it is a genre I can really get into, or if RRR was a one-off cultural phenomenon that the rest of what I watch from the world of Indian cinema won’t measure up to. I mean, RRR went right … Continue reading Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Review
It’s the fourth entry in our series on the contributors’ of SWO Productions’ favorite artists for certain characters, and can you believe we are at number FOUR in the series before we get to The Bat? Arguably the mot popular comic book character of all time–he’s had NINE solo starring movies, another movie in which his name was in the title, two versions of one … Continue reading Our Favorite Batman Artists
John Wick changed everything. When Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves came together in the mid-2010’s to film the slick revenge-action flick John Wick, do you think they had even an inkling of an idea what they were about to accomplish? A hit? Sure, maybe they banked on that. They had between twenty and thirty million dollars to throw at a bankable, if scattershot in his … Continue reading Ballerina Review

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 16 I’ve been hanging from this cliff all week, so it’e time to see what happens on the next episode of BTVS! We start off with the cops outside Buffy’s house. Buffy-In-Faith (here-on-out just Buffy because I ain’t typing that all review) is getting gurneyed out of the house. Faith-in-Buffy (here-on-out just Faith) is with Mom. Mom thinks Faith … Continue reading Have A Little Faith: A BTVS Retrospective, S4 E16-17
EPISODE 19 We open up on Roanoke Island because this show actually does subtlety a little better than Buffy does. Klarion (BUM BUM BUM) The Witch Boy has started a spell. As he casts it, he summons four other DC villainous mystics to assist him, like Wotan and Felix Faust. And two others whose names I didn’t quite catch, but I’m pretty sure one was … Continue reading Have A Little Heart: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E19-20
All right, no time for much preamble here because I was recording a Christmas podcast until right when this started. Let’s cover Survivor Series! 8:10pm: Kicking us off, we have the Women’s War Games match. Michael Cole notes that Becky Lynch and Bayley are starting the EVENT, but not the MATCH, because “the match doesn’t start until all women are in the ring”. That’s ticky … Continue reading Survivor Series 2023 Review
NOTE: Big spoilers within for Thanksgiving. Like “who the killer is” level spoilers! It’s midway through November, and I’ve accomplished my January goal: I’ve seen 100 movies that came out this year. I’d say it was hard, but… I did it with a month and a half to spare, so I guess it wasn’t that bad at all. It was less hard and more… trying, … Continue reading Thanksgiving Review
Marv and Louise from Pods Like Us are heading into the west with Stew to discuss the maligned Jonah Hex movie!

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes has a very long title. It’s almost as long as the movie’s runtime, but… we’ll get to that in a bit. The newest Hunger Games movie is a prequel to the last four, all starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, and takes place about 65 years before Katniss’ adventure ever starts. If you’ve seen those movies … Continue reading THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES REVIEW
We kick things off at Mount Justice, and with a very melancholy Young Justice team struggling with the effects of last episode when they all believed they died in that weird-ass training exercise. The League has brought in Black Canary to act as a therapist for the team, and… is she trained for that? That’s a weird choice! I feel like they used her just … Continue reading Finally Harm Has Come Back To Young Justice: A YJ Retrospective, S1 E17-18
CHAPTER 9: Three Years Ago… The press corps that had gathered outside Amherst College was unlike anything the school’s President had ever seen up close and in person before. Victoria Werther had done some speeches in her day while in charge of the school, but she mostly spoke before a sparse arrangement of local C-team crews. Four cameras, bored reporters—if they were even sent with … Continue reading The Chosen: Chapter 9
What is this, my…third consecutive DC book? And the two before this stretch were both independent books? I know how the internet works! Accusation of anti-Marvel bias is going to kick in any minute now! Actually, throughout my history here, I have taken pride in maintaining something close to a one-to-one ratio of Marvel-to-DC books (with the odd indie books sprinkled in and my whole … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Power Girl
