Stew’s Reviews: Azumanga Daoih

Hey, it’s a volume of Stew’s Reviews that ends in the number eight, so it must be time to review a manga series! It’s Manga Week! Ma… me… M8nga Week! No? No, I don’t think that works either. Actually, I think is just a happy accident. It was volume eight when I covered Dragon Ball, and I noticed after already picking this series for this … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Azumanga Daoih

Draft: Best TV Shows To Debut After 2010

I am wholly convinced we have been living in the one true Golden Age of television. Think about what’s come out since the turn of the century. Gone are the days of the boob tube; TV now presents some of the most engaging, thoughtful, and poignant forms of entertainment across all media. There are also a lot of Look At These Sexy People Be Sexy … Continue reading Draft: Best TV Shows To Debut After 2010

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review

Well, it turns out I was wrong. When the long-awaited Snyder Cut was finally announced, but we were also told it would take months to release and cost almost an additional one hundred million dollars, I was convinced that this movie was essentially going to be a do-over. I thought for sure the Snyder “cut” never existed; they were just going to release an almost … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review

Pop-Tarts: Pretzel Tarts Part 2, #BLM

IN A WORLD WHERE SOMETIMES THINGS REALLY, REALLY SUCK, THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! There’s a reason I am not a professional writer. I mean, I may have a degree in writing. I may have this fancy website and a contribution gig over at 411Mania, but I have never considered myself a “writer”. I’m not making a living off of it, so basically I’m just a schmuck … Continue reading Pop-Tarts: Pretzel Tarts Part 2, #BLM

Top Ten: Heroines of DC Comics

Am I alone in just not liking Jean Grey? I mean, apparently not, but in my recent Top Heroines of Marvel article, Jean Grey was the most divisive character in the comments. Some said my leaving her out was “tragic” or “outrageous”; others noted she is “meh” or “sucks”. She didn’t make my Top Ten, and honestly would not have made my Top Fifteen; I … Continue reading Top Ten: Heroines of DC Comics

Entertainment Rex: March 2021

It’s the Ides of March! I don’t… I don’t know what that means. Something to do with Julius Caesar being assassinated, but it isn’t called that BECAUSE of it. The Ides were a thing before he died. It’s like… if I was assassinated on Christmas, Christmas wouldn’t be famous for THAT. (That got dark fast this article…) Wasn’t he warned, “beware the Ides of March”? … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: March 2021

Top Ten: Heroines of Marvel Comics

I’ve got two of these lists coming by the time Women’s History Month ends. I bet you can guess what the second might be. (I bet you can also guess, if you’ve ever paid attention to anything I’ve ever written, who #1 will be here. I’m nothing if not consistent!) I’ve long been a big fan of powerful female characters in comics, and not just … Continue reading Top Ten: Heroines of Marvel Comics

Movie Review: Terminator Dark Fate

I had given up on Terminator flicks a long time ago. The last Terminator movie I saw was the third entry in the series. I never bothered with Salvation or Genisys because they both looked pretty terrible, and it seemed as though the franchise was just churning out properties to cash in on a nostalgia market. The magic of the original and its first sequel … Continue reading Movie Review: Terminator Dark Fate

Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolatey Caramel

WEEK 8! EIGHT! THAT’S AS MANY AS FOUR PACKETS OF POP-TARTS! AND THAT’S A LOT! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Yeah, that looks good, right? I mean… come on! Chocolatey Caramel? I like 100% of those flavors. This was a lay-up. A fastball over the middle. An empty-netter. A [sports euphemism to be added later]. I thought, “I want a delicious Pop-Tart for this week of … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolatey Caramel

Bret Hart Categories Classic: Steamboat, Batista, more

I didn’t watch Raw last night, so I don’t have much to say on it this week. Last week’s episode was ROUGH, and while I guess I’m happy for Lashley to “finally” get the big world title he always felt on the cusp of, I never really cared for the guy. He doesn’t do anything for me, and this feels like just a way to … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic: Steamboat, Batista, more
