Banana Bread is a myth. Here is my proof: Every so often, my wife and I will buy bananas. And, as bananas do, sometimes they go REAL brown before we eat them all. At that point, my wife will say, “Oh! I’ll freeze them, and then eventually, I will make some banana bread!” You know what my wife has never ever made? Banana Bread. So … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Banana Bread
FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We open up with Buffy Hunting! Ah, back to the comforts of home. Faith, Buffy, Giles, and Willow combine to kill three blue demons. Giles is worried and desperately wants to know what these monsters are. Oh, it turns out Xander is there, too. He was batted away by the beasts and left lying under some rubble. The scene … Continue reading Seriously? A Xander Episode?: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E13
NOTE: SPOILERS WITHIN FOR BARBIE One-hundred and fifty-plus million dollars. With that figure, Barbie–BARBIE!–has secured the best opening weekend of 2023, something that I doubt any honest person can say they saw coming when the year started. I mean, I sure can’t. I was part of a Guess The Box Office movie draft for the Best Film Ever podcast back at the beginning of the … Continue reading Barbie Review
NOTE: SPOILERS WITHIN FOR OPPENHEIMER Man, Barbenheimer is as real deal. Every Dolby or IMAX screening of both Barbie and Oppenheimer has either sold out or come insanely close to having done so at my local AMC. I just got out of Oppenheimer, where I was lucky to get one solo seat in the IMAX theater (I went by myself because I am charming and … Continue reading Oppenheimer Review

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! In two and a half seasons, I have learned something. This show has two different beginnings: “Buffy Is Hunting”, or “At School”. This one is “Buffy Is Hunting”! So Buffy is out hunting, and mom shows up out of nowhere with a snack. How did she know where Buffy was? I’ve never seen Buffy tell her “I’m going out … Continue reading Parents Just Don’t Understand: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E11-12
For the first time since we have started this Our Favorite Artists series, we are looking at a TEAM. And it’s the team that arguably has had more great artists than any other. Arguably! I mean… I would argue it. Anyway, let’s talk X-Men! Stew’s Picks -Marc Silvestri Silvestri is a guy who really grew over time, and while I think he hit his best … Continue reading Our Favorite X-Men Artists
NOTE: SPOILERS WITHIN FOR JOY RIDE! NOT the 2001 Paul Walker, Steve Zahn, and Leelee Sobieski horror movie about a maniac trucker that I have seen just… an irresponsible number of times in my life. (Also, has anyone checked in on Leelee Sobieski in a while? Did she grow up to look exactly like 1990’s Helen Hunt after all?) This 2023 outing of the same … Continue reading Joy Ride Review
FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Season 3 episode 9 starts off with some Davey-Jones-From-Pirates-Of-The-Caribbean-ass monster choking Buffy out and just… letting Willow and Xander run around to assist her until she can kill it. The three of them talk for a second about Cordelia and Oz, but then pivot to Faith. They agree they need to invite her out more often, for her sake. … Continue reading “I WANT YOU SO BADLY!”: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E9-10
Raye of the Being Bookish podcast joins the order this week to talk about a movie she has seen way too many times! It’s the second Fox Fantastic Four movie, Rise Of The Silver Surfer! For more from Being Bookish, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 70: Fantastic 4 Rise Of The Silver Surfer
NOTE: SPOILERS WITHIN FOR NIMONA! It has been a phenomenal year for animated movies, and that is without my having seen Super Mario Brothers or Elemental yet! As of this writing, the aforementioned Super Mario Brothers is the highest grossing movie of the year. Elemental came out the same weekend as The Flash, came in second place at the box office to it, then proved … Continue reading Nimona Review
FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We don’t really OPEN with Buffy, Faith, and Giles out hunting–there is an opening sequence of no import with the gang at The Bronze–but it is the first relevant thing that happens. Giles just chills out while his two slayers go to town, and… why do the vampires always leave him alone when he is out with them? Isn’t he … Continue reading NFL Films Presents: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E7-8
NOTE: SPOILERS HEREIN FOR PAST LIVES! It took me a while to warm up to A24. I remember prior to Everything Everywhere All At Once, I had not yet knowingly been wow’ed by anything the studio distributed. I mostly just thought of A24 as the company that valued style over substance. Their movies generally looked good, but I tended to think the stories were often … Continue reading Past Lives Review
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Wait, is that… this isn’t that holiday, is it? Well, whatever; I found a store that was recently selling this flavor of Pop-Tarts, and while they feel like a holdover from the holiday season several months ago at this point, they are the Tarts I have for this holiday! (Yes, these were definitely held onto for a while; this box expires THIS MONTH … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Gingerbread
I have had a cold for 14 days. It’s not great! Five days ago, I had completely lost my voice, but luckily I regained enough of it to be able to semi-successfully podcast last night. But we recorded essentially two whole shows, and the end of the night, I was done. Can’t wait to listen to those segments and see how abominable I sounded. Especially … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Child Within
