I am really struggling to get through my list of missed movies from the 2010’s. I shouldn’t be; the wife and I watch at least a little television together most nights. But the rub is that we have only recently started watching Community for the first time, and Amanda LOVES that. All of our free time now is “Hey, can we watch Community?”, “Put Community on”, “We have … Continue reading Movie Review: One Cut of the Dead
One of my absolute favorite things to do is speculate over who would “win” a completely hypothetical battle that could never actually happen. As someone who grew up reading comic books; it just makes sense. Larger than life heroes and villains throw down all the time there. And I’ve even argued that taking part in such silly debates over those brawls can make you a … Continue reading Today In Speculative Fighting
IT RETURNS TO YOUR BREAKFAST PLATE THIS WEEK–WAIT, HOLD ON… YEAH, IT’S BREAKFAST. WHAT? DESSERT? NO, IT’S… I’M TELLING YOU, IT’S NOT A DESSERT. THEY’RE MEANT TO BE EATEN FOR BREAKFAST. I DON’T KNOW WHY! HOLD ON, I’M BUSY, I’LL BE BACK–WHERE WAS I? THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Aw, guys. Guys! Did you know that it was my mouth’s birthday? It’s apparently my mouth’s birthday! … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Confetti Cupcake
It’s the Elimination Chamber! Or, as my Mac might prefer, the Slimination Chamber. It’s the most wonderful time of the [WWE] year, guys! We had the Rumble, WrestleMania is imminent, and in between, we get one of WWE’s best gimmick pay-per-views (with only Money In The Bank challenging its second-place-to-the-Rumble status), the Elimination Chamber! (And, uh, oh yeah. Next month we get Fastlane. So there’s … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2021 Thoughts
“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture… There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore — I’ll tell you why, because all the fucking funny guys are like, ‘Fuck this shit, because I don’t want to offend you.’” -Todd Phillips, an idiot, to Vanity Fair, 10/1/2019. Several months ago, I convinced my wife Amanda that she might as well sign … Continue reading Movie Review: Deep Murder
Welcome back once again to Stew’s Reviews, your weekly source of completely random comic book reviews. As always, I’m your host, Rob Stewart, bringing you my thoughts on another title you may or may not care about! That’s pretty generic. Huh. Well whatever, I don’t really have a particularly noteworthy intro this week; they aren’t all winners, and I don’t always have big goings-on. Sometimes … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Batgirl of Burnside
It’s probably me. I’m probably the sucker. I really just enjoy continuity in my funnybooks. I want things that happened before to MATTER. Elseworlds and What If’s are fun, but ultimately, I want there to be a big, long line of continuity that carries through the “main” books of a comics universe. If what happened before doesn’t make a difference to what matters now, then… … Continue reading Top Ten: Best Comics’ Alternate Universes
Who would win in a fight? Superman or Goku? How about the Flash or the Hulk? And who would come out on top if Dr. Doom pitted wits against Brainiac? (Sidenote: “Brainiac” is one of the those names that have existed in comics lore for decades that we all just accept when we really shouldn’t. Really? An interstellar, cunning alien/robot who uses his intellect to … Continue reading In Defense of Battle Boards
I feel like I start every NXT Takeover review the same way: by gushing over how much I love NXT. But you know what? I really love NXT. WWE just has way too many hours of programming, but still can’t come up with more than one or two compelling stories at a time. AEW is high quality wrestling, but I often am not on board … Continue reading NXT Takeover: Vengeance Day Review
My back is not yet 100%, but it’s miles ahead of where it was at this point in January. It turns out that I have a mutant healing factor! OR I was being a hypochondriac. But probably the healing factor. That seems more likely. Anyway: it’s Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s Day to lovers, young and old. I know, I know. Valentine’s Day is a commercial … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: February Part 1
IN A WORLD WHERE… HOLY CRAP, LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S POP-TART! WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE? THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! “Hmmm. What flavor of Pop-Tart should I get for the next P.T.Q.?” “I don’t know, but I’m sick of wanting your sweets. Get a flavor I won’t be enticed by”. “Done”. One of the Unholy Trinity of Pop-Tart Flavors I was dreading when I started … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Blue Raspberry
What the hell, right? I just did an X-Book last week! Where has the variety gone? Well, as of this writing (and I say the a lot knowing I’m writing batches of these at a time without really keeping track of when they will be posted), this has been the week from hell. Most notably, my cat died out of nowhere from a heart…thing (wait, … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: X-Tinction Agenda
Hey, there was no spoopy activity on Raw last night! No Alexa. No furthering of The Fiend’s absence. Just wrestling and a lot of memes about Nia Jax’s hole. Matt Riddle and Keith Lee had a swell little match to set up a Triple Threat at the next PPV for Lashley’s US Title, and GOD, someone needs to get that belt off of Lashley and … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic – Eddie Guerrero and More!
Welcome to the SWO Drafts, everyone! Where we–and some of the finest independent creative forces out there–fight to the death to see who can make the best line-up from a pop culture category. It’s been several weeks since our last draft, the Best Movie Sequels of All Time, and we had a lot of fun with that one! It was the first category chosen from … Continue reading Draft: Worst Movie Sequels
I’ve never felt personally inspired by The Bushwhackers before… and yet, here we are. While recently rating the cousins Luke and Butch as a unit, I mentioned how I would theoretically dig them if they were an act today. And I confessed how great I thought their finishing move, The Battering Ram, was. Inspiration was struck, and I was determined to make a list counting … Continue reading Top Ten: Wrestling Tag Team Finishers
