THE WEATHER IS GETTING COLDER, BUT IN YOUR MIND’S EYE, YOU CAN STILL PICTURE A WARM, SUNNY DAY. CHILDREN GATHER ON THE SIDEWALK TO SELL YOU CUPS OF BEVERAGE FOR 50 CENTS. 50 CENTS! AND YOU YOU DON’T EVEN GET REFILLS! WHAT KIND OF SCAM IS THAT? MONEY-GRUBBING BRATS! ANYWAY, THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! On an oppresively hot summer day, after the sun has been … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Pink Lemonade
Welcome back to our Bret Hart ratings! This week it is just me for a go-around of some of the modern talent in the wrestling world in the post-WrestleMania landscape of spring 2021. Also, uh, only one of the superstars rated today was on WrestleMania. Oops! I’m not good at synergy. Let’s get right into it! BRIAN CAGE STEW’S THOUGHTS LOOK: 9.5/10 – Cage is … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Modern: Brian Cage, Shayna Baszler, more
FOR MORE GENERATION REVIEWS, CLICK: –JOHTO –HOENN –SINNOH –UNOVA –KALOS And for more Pokemon content, click HERE! Now, on with the review! I have never played Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon. That is really weird to consider because for about a period of about FIFTEEN YEARS, I was perpetually playing Pokemon in some form or another. Generations came and went, and I kept playing. At my most involved … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Kanto
Marvel gifted us with a trailer for Shang-Chi this week in what appears to have been a surprise release given the lead actor, Simu Liu’s, frankly adorable reaction on Twitter. It’s admittedly a pretty rad trailer. I had not been too stoked for a Shang Chi movie for a few reasons. First of all, he’s a character I have barely any comics experience with. Secondly, … Continue reading Classic Review: The Big Sick
This month’s draft was… NOT my forte. But I gave it the old college try anyway! When I got together with this month’s guests–Pint O Comics, So Wizard, and Flicks X-Rayed–to discuss our next draft, we ultimately settled on Best Movie Soundtracks. Music remains not really my best genre. But I do like movies, and I know which ones kind of make me bop along, … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best Movie Soundtracks!
I didn’t come up with this one all on my own! This was the brainchild of our good buddy John over at Pint O’ Comics. They are doing an episode around the same time as this list wherein they are naming their Top 5 uses of pre-existing pop songs in movie scenes, and he thought it would be a rad idea if we at SWO Productions coincided with their show. … Continue reading Top Ten: Uses of Pop Songs in Movies
What happens when two movies love each other very much? Well, when the movie’s father is John Wick (with all of its carefully crafted backstory universe doled out through the story of a pet loving family man who wants to leave his past behind), and its mother is the tragically forgotten Clive Owen vehicle Shoot ‘Em Up (bringing its absurdist parody send-up of the action … Continue reading NOBODY Review
So back in… 2006 or so, Wizard (GOD! Remember Wizard? Wizard Magazine, the comic magazine that was such a BFD in the 1990’s? Unless you have gone to a Wizard Con in the last few years, how long has it been since you’ve thought of that?) made a list of the top 100 issues of… some span of time. Maybe the 25 years leading up … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Unauthorized Biography of Lex Luthor

Welcome to April! Showers and flowers and all that. Rain aside, it has been getting nicer out, and I’ve even had more chances to go for walks, which I direly need. We are going to Cancun this summer, and I am CREEPING UP on 200 lbs for the first time in my life. I was depressed when I was 180! I’m working on cutting sugar … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: April 2021
Hey, I am getting to watch WrestleMania live tonight. No more Secret Hitler or pizza with friends. I get to watch pro wrestling in my basement like a winner! After a night one that started weak (by me; I get it, though. You’re all all-in on Bobby Lashley) but finished incredibly strong (again, that Belair/Banks match was better than I had even hoped), night two … Continue reading WrestleMania Night Two Review
First of all, this review is going to be up a little bit later than I would prefer. I’m usually good to get my reviews on these shows up within thirty to forty-five minutes of said show’s conclusion. But for WrestleMania night one… I will have been hours behind. My apologies! My wife had the sheer audacity to bully me into having FUN with our … Continue reading WrestleMania Night One Review
So Night One of NXT’s WrestleMania week show, Stand & Deliver, was a bit of a mixed bag. Sure there were three definitively stellar matches, but the main event Women’s Title match was a touch of a letdown. And the Gauntlet Eliminator match had some really fun moments (most of them between Bronson Reed and Isiah “Swerve” Scott in the final moments), but felt too … Continue reading NXT Stand & Deliver Night 2 Review
NXTmania week starts now! A two-night NXT Takeover? Leading in to a two-night WrestleMania? I guess I’m just not going to expect anything for Christmas this year because this must be it. NXT has really been killing it with angles lately, though, so it definitely needed two nights for this Takeover. There’s just a lot going on, and the typical five match Takeover recipe just … Continue reading NXT Stand & Deliver Night One Review
YOU KNOW WHAT NO ONE HAS EVER DONE? A TOASTER STRUDEL QUEST. BECAUSE TOASTER STRUDELS WEREN’T ACTUALLY THAT GOOD. REMEMBER TOASTER STRUDELS? YOU PROBABLY DON’T EVEN! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Dear Internet, Bacon is pretty great, right? I think we all agree on that. There is just something about the greasy, salty, crispy properties of bacon that make it a nigh universally beloved food. It … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Maple Bacon
