My wife doesn’t understand ranking things that you like. She will say silly, absurd things to me like “I don’t know; I just like things. I don’t care if I like it 5th much or 6th much. I just like it if I like it”. Pfft. What a foreign philosophy. Obviously you have to rank the things you like! Otherwise… how will you know where… … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best Movie Sequels
I don’t watch a lot of TV. There’s no real reason for it. I used to watch a lot of the ol’ boob tube. But I just never have the nerve to sit down and consume television these days. I think the advent of streaming content has had a negative effect on me. My wife watches approximately every show that airs on every channel, but … Continue reading TV Review: Recent Comic Book Properties on TV
I am a bit late on this, what with it being January 13th and all, but I’ll let you in on a secret: this isn’t really MY idea. You see, these annual awards are the brainchild of 411mania.com, where each of the contributors makes a list, then each day one new category is unveiled to see who voted for what. I actually wrote this WEEKS … Continue reading The 2020 SWO Wrestling Awards!
WWE out here just setting everything on fire these days. One of the last times we got together to discuss Bret Hart ranking, we talked a bit about Randy Orton maybe/maybe not burning Alexa Bliss to death in the wake of his setting her mentor, The Fiend, ablaze at TLC 2020. Well on last night’s Raw, an encounter between Randy and Triple-H–a confrontation that had … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories – Macho Man, Sting, More
HAVING BARELY SCRAPED THE FROSTED SURFACE, YOUR BREAKFAST WARRIOR AND HIS INSATIABLE APPETITE RETURNS! THIS… IS POP-TART QUEST! Deep in the heart of the Amazonian wilderness, entrenched so far into the darkest rain forests that society is less than a distant rumor, there lives many creatures that few mortal men have ever seen. These animals know not natural light nor vehicles nor the Internet nor … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Wildlicious Wild Cherry
I haven’t done enough “older” comics on these reviews, and I recognize that. There’s a perfectly good reason for it, though, and it’s that, uh, I don’t tend to love them. And I judge them more harshly because of that. It’s not an across-the-board thing, obviously—what is?—but it’s there. A lot of 60’s and 70’s era titles have similar conventions running through them that just … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Ms. Marvel
This week is a little out of left field, perhaps, but is it really any more so than, say, The Life And Times of Scrooge McDuck, which was also initially printed in a foreign language and whose characters are a bit more famous as cartoons than comics? So I hope you hang with me here and haven’t already made your way down to the comments to … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Dragon Ball
WITH THE NIGHTMARES WROUGHT OF CHOCOLATE CHIP GOODNESS BEHIND HIM, YOUR HERO RETURNS WITH ANOTHER STEP INTO THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS JOURNEY OF DELICOUSNESS! THIS… IS POP-TART QUEST! Sometimes in life–just sometimes–one thinks “I could really go for a Popped Tart-like Treat. But which way to go? There are fruit tarts, and there are also brown tarts. Whichever could I be in the mood for…?” And … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Chocolatey Strawberry
You may have noticed recently that we have been reviewing classic wrestlers based on the idea that there are three categories by which you can break down a talent (Bret Hart said so!). But were you aware that wrestling didn’t end at, say, 2009?! It turns out it didn’t, so we thought we’d do a separate column on the Bret Hart categories for the modern … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories: Modern
I will buy books that feature characters I like. For example: I will buy anything Jubilee appears in. I have one solitary volume of X-23 on my bookshelf just because Jubes was featured in the primary story. Haven’t bothered to buy any other trades of that series, but by gum, I have the one with Jubilee on the cover. But yeah, I will do my … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: New Guardians
I have never kept track of these things, but I’m pretty sure I saw more individual movies in 2020 than in any other year. It certainly feels like it! The closest I have ever come before was in 2008 when I kept track of my New Year’s Resolution that year to see twenty-six unique movies in theater (I wanted to average one every two weeks). … Continue reading The 2020 Movie Experience
Nobody liked 2020. I mean, it’s even kind of boring as a meme at this point, but yeah, we all know it… 2020 was kind of a dogshit year. That’s brutal, but honest. My 2020 more-or-less started with appendicitis (and that, having happened in January, genuinely feels like an eternity ago), and really… everything just went downhill from there. But don’t worry! It’s all over … Continue reading The Top Fifteen Jubilee Comics
Sometimes celebrities pass away, and there is a large sense of personal loss for people like you or me. People mourn. The whole world might mourn. Folks who have never met the recently deceased will take the loss harder than if it had been a relative of theirs. I’ll be honest… I’ve never been the person who feels much of anything when a famous person … Continue reading Hope, Me, and Brodie Lee
Soooo… did anyone else catch WWE Raw last night? Specifically the ending? Because here’s how I figure a conversation must have gone down: USA Executive: Your ratings suck these days. We want more intelligent adult content. VKM: Got it! We’ll have a cliffhanger ending where Randy Orton may or may not have set a small woman on fire! And the camera will, for some reason, … Continue reading The Bret Hart Categories Classic, vol 2
Welcome back, chums! So I thought I had a really good idea this week. One of the weirdest fads of the modern internet age is reaction videos. You watching someone else watch or play something (and depending on the video, you may or may not even get to watch what they are actually watching; sometimes, it’s JUST the people you get to see). I’m not … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck
