Entertainment Rex: December 2021

Hey, my movie diary screenshot fits in one image for the first half of this month! I hit my 200th movie for the year, and suddenly watching movies started feeling just a LITTLE BIT less imperative. I have found my laurels; I have rested on them. The weird thing is… I haven’t done much else this month, either, so this is going to be a … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: December 2021

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #50-41

For earlier entries, click HERE! Let’s not kid ourselves: the first half of this list was underwhelming. Back in 2006, Wizard put together the list of the Top 100 single comic book issues of the previous two and a half decades–basically the best single issues of the 80’s, 90’s, and first half of the 2000’s. A lot of it… frankly didn’t hold up. There were … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #50-41

Pop-Tart Quest: Splitz

I REALLY FEEL LIKE KELLOGGS AND POP-TARTS ARE JUST IGNORING ME AT THIS POINT. I’M NEVER GOING TO GET MY DISCONTINUED FLAVORS! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! As conceivably the laziest person alive–someone who will stop at nothing to do as little work as possible and circumvent any methods by which I will have to do so–I absolutely love that there was 100% a conversation in … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Splitz

Top Ten: Supporting Characters in Comics

Where did this article come from? Not me! So let’s give credit where it is due. This was the suggestion of commenter PROWRITER from way back when I did my Favorite Comic Book Characters Of All-Time list! He threw out the base idea, I changed it just a touch, and here we are. Additionally, this is actually something we specifically covered on the podcast many … Continue reading Top Ten: Supporting Characters in Comics

Stew’s Reviews: Old Man Logan

Sometimes… sometimes I have such big feelings about a book that I could talk about it forever and not get across everything I need to. This is what brings us to today’s book… TITLE: Old Man Logan Writer and Artist: Mark Millar, Steve McNiven Publisher: Marvel Protagonists: Logan, Hawkeye Antagonists: Red Skull, Hulk This was the second time in my life that I read Old … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Old Man Logan

Episode 17: Sin City

The night is dark like a… really dark thing.

Okay, I’m not good at the Sin City thing.

But Stew and Ken from the ODPH have a good time looking back at this mid-2000’s hit!

Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I’d definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought… could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about a movie per day, so let’s get the heck into … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51

We have hit the halfway mark of this list as of this entry, having gotten through the bottom 50 comics on Wizard’s list of the Greatest Comics Single Issues From 1979-2006. Which, back in 2006, was considered a comic fan’s lifetime. We were all a lot younger then, folks. I was TWENTY-SIX. God! Was my lifetime supposed to be twenty-six years. Wizard did not have … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51

Top Ten: Generation Five Pokemon

After years and years of playing Pokemon, Generation 5 is the time when things finally started to change. With Generation 5 came improved Wi-Fi capabilities and a better device, the Nintendo 3DS (to be clear, Black and White were not 3DS games, but the 3DS’ backwards compatibility meant they could be played on it). And with those, came more efficient online play. That’s right, Geeration … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation Five Pokemon

Top Ten: Favorite Comic Villains

In a lot of forms of media, the antagonists are every bit as gripping–if not more so!–than the heroes themselves. Look no further than professional wrestling. A lot of wrestling stories are centered around a babyface’s trials and tribulations against the heels that seek to destroy him. But so often, it’s the heels who really shine. Whether that’s because they get to let a bit … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Villains

Stew’s Reviews: Superboy by Geoff Johns

Several weeks I ago I was critical of the Lex Luthor Unauthorized Biography comic, and ever since I reviewed it, I was hoping to swing back around and review another book I read once that also touches a bit on Lex Luthor’s home life and childhood. You know what? This seems like as good of a time as any! TITLE: Superboy: The Boy of Steel … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superboy by Geoff Johns
