Look, Pop-Tarts, you have officially gone too far. I’ve stood by you through a lot of flavors. A LOT at this point. You’ve given us some divine treats and some absolutely putrid tarts. I see that you are willing to throw anything and everything at the wall in order to see what will drive sales. And I respect that! You are a creative force; I … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Snickerdoodles
NOTE: SPOILERS FOR THE FABELMANS! As of this writing, we are one month away from the 95th Academy Awards, and now that I have seen The Fabelmans, I have seen seven of the ten Best Picture nominees. For reference, I have decided to go back a few years and see how I’ve compared! For the 94th edition of the awards, I STILL have not seen … Continue reading The Fabelmans Review
I may have misnumbered my episodes. Last episode saw us go from #52 to #54. Whoops! Human error, folks! I could edit the episode titles, but I prefer to let my mistakes outlive me. ANYWAY, this episode, the guys from the Culture Shocked podcast join the order to discuss the notoriously bad X-Men Origins – Wolverine, and Stew has now covered all three movies in … Continue reading Episode 53(?): X-Men Origins – Wolverine
I recently rewatched the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. It’s… not great. I mean, it is what it is, but the acting isn’t anything resembling outstanding and the story is dumb and nothing about it is particularly well made, but… hmm. Pee-Wee Herman is in it? And the entire third act just stars Kristy Swanson’s cleavage? So I mean… it tried. And Jungle Boy Jack … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 1-2
NOTE: VERY LIGHT SPOILERS FOR SKINAMRINK BELOW! As maddeningly frustrating as it is genuinely creepy and unsettling, I feel pretty comfortable in saying you have seen little–if anything–like Skinamrink before. Skinamarink left me DYING to talk to someone, anyone, about it in its wake. I rushed upstairs to my wife to tell her what I just saw. I had to unprocess the film from my … Continue reading Skinamarink Review
Is Ollie’s a national chain, or is it somewhat local? Do you know what Ollie’s is? It’s terrific. They have the cheapest random assortment of stuff in the world. It’s an occasional boon for finding discontinued Pop-Tarts for the Pop-Tart Quest. But beyond that, they just have so much great stuff. Including discounted comic books sometimes! I went out to Ollie’s last night, and they had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: JSA – Mixed Signals
NOTE: SPOILER ALERT FOR BOTH OF THESE MOVIES! These are very different movies, linked only by the facts that I watched them both within 24 hours, they are relatively new, and both made me want to do a full-ish-length review. Finding holes in my website schedule are tough, so I’m smooshing these two into one. Let me know if this works for you or if … Continue reading Dual Movie Review: Tar and Shotgun Wedding
William from the A Hint Of Fiction podcast joins the order this episode to discuss the forgotten sequel to the hit comic book flick Kick-Ass: it’s Kick-Ass 2! For more from A Hint Of Fiction, click HERE! For more download options for this episode, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 54: Kick-Ass 2
I’ve been a fan of Leah Williams ever since her X-Tremists run a few years ago. That was a five issue mini-series during the X-Books’ “Age Of X-Man” storyline where Nate Grey had reshaped reality in his image. It saw a group of mutants working as a police force to arrest other mutants, and it gave us the love story I never knew I needed: … Continue reading X-Terminators 2022 Review
It’s Stew’s time to shine! Every year for the past… I dunno… many (?), I have watched the Royal Rumble match[es], reviewed the Royal Rumbles, and ranked them all in order of my own preference. And now it’s time for the 2023 editions. We’re going to be breaking down the matches, figuring out where the new editions fit in the all-time rankings, and then talking … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2023
Here we are! It took most of the first month of January to get here, but I am finally at the top ten movies I watched for the first time in 2022. Having met my goal of 300 movies in 12 months (I actually hit it in 11) for SWO Productions, I am WAY off that pace for the first few weeks of 2023! I … Continue reading The Top 50 First Time Watches Of 2022, #10-1
This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about Komi Can’t Communicate here at SWO Productions, but along the way, I just fell off reading the series. I’ve continued BUYING the books, but I haven’t been reading them. I’ve been letting them accrue space on my manga shelves as I waited for… the right time, I guess? Most of 2022 was NOT the right time. I … Continue reading Stew’s [Series] Reviews: Komi Can’t Communicate Volume 1
NOTE: SPOILERS FOR ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, WHICH, I MEAN…. GOD BLESS YOU IF YOU NEED THIS WARNING. Just to clarify up front: war movies are not typically my thing. I never like when someone says something akin to “All [X] movies are the same to me!” because that’s a lazy person’s way of writing something off. To say any franchise or genre … Continue reading All Quiet on the Western Front Review
NOTE: THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR RRR, A 10 MONTH OLD MOVIE! It’s January 19th. I’ve just watched the best movie I’m going to see in 2023. I don’t know if this makes me happy or sad. It’s a shame I didn’t watch RRR last year proper when it came out. It would have pushed basically EVERYTHING back one spot on my Top 30 … Continue reading RRR
This is definitely my top ten movies of 2022. I say that because last time there was some consternation about one of my picks in my #20-11 range. Someone was displeased I included Werewolf By Night. It seems enough like a movie to me, but maybe not to others. So you could argue my last “ten” only had nine “movies”. So I put it up … Continue reading Top Thirty 2022 New Release Movies, #10-1
