Wait… is it Premier? Or Premiere? Spell check says they are both right. I think one is, like, the ruler of a country, and the other is a debut of something. I honestly didn’t know those words were not both spelled the same way! Damn, Raw is teaching me English tonight. One of them means Soccer or something, too, right? Anyway, tonight was the season … Continue reading Raw 2020 Season Premiere
Jojo Rabbit looked so damn risky when I first started seeing trailers for it. I mean, let’s be honest: World War II was eighty years ago. EIGHTY YEARS! That is by no mean insubstantial. World War II was as close to the Civil War as it is to the current day. Many of us won’t live to see an eightieth birthday; World War II was … Continue reading Movie Review: Jojo Rabbit
I mentioned recently that I really wanted to see Parasite, but knew little about it going in. I thought it was for the best that I keep it that way and try to see the movie as soon as possible to see what all the buzz was about. I’m glad I did. Bong Joon-Ho’s 2019 movie about class and desperation is a lot of different things at … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Parasite
Back on 12/15/2019, I finally got around to seeing Rian Johnson’s modern update on the throwback whodunnit mystery genre, Knives Out. It’s not the kind of movie you see very often these days, and one whose heyday seems to have long-since passed. It stars Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, a world-renowned detective brought into a seemingly open-and-shut case of suicide and finding out that not everything … Continue reading Movie Review: Knives Out
Let’s preface this right away: I did not care for Hereditary much. I know a lot of folks did. I have seen that people really seemed to dig Ari Aster’s debut feature length horror film about Toni Collette acting bonkers and heralded it as their Film of 2018, and that’s absolutely fine. It clearly wasn’t for me, but I see what others could have enjoyed about … Continue reading Movie Review: Midsommar
First, a disclaimer: I am shit at video games (also, while we are disclaiming, this review will have some incredibly minor spoilery stuff). I enjoy them well enough, I guess, but modern games usually frustrate me to no end because there is just TOO MUCH to do, and my dexterity for the general forms of combat is super poor. Aiming guns is hard! Also, I have … Continue reading Spider-Man: PS4 Review
I have precious little patience for movies in my own home. I assume it’s my Millenial-adled mind that sees far too many distractions and can’t allow me to sit still long enough to pay that much attention, but I’m just really bad at it. Oddly, the more people that are involved, the better I get (by myself? I NEVER watch movies at home? Just me … Continue reading I Love The Cinema!
Written by—who else?—Chris “I’m Responsible For All Your Good X-Men Memories” Claremont and brought to life by Brent Eric Anderson, God Loves, Man Kills is an unflinching look at prejudice, religious fanaticism, and loyalty. This was the comic—more than any other—that really nailed the theme of how dangerous it could be to be born a mutant in the Marvel universe. Sure, the X-Men always had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: God Loves, Man Kills
Welcome back to Stew’s Reviews! I’m your host Rob “Yes Rob, Not Rod” Stewart. When last we met, I was reviewing one of my absolute favorite comic book stories of all time, Kingdom Come. Hopefully you’ve read and enjoyed KC as much as I always have, and you haven’t read it… rectify that quickly! Jeez, what do I have to do, hold your hand? This … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Viltrumite War
Back in my high school days, I went through an unfortunate “I’m too old to keep reading comic books” phase for two or three years. I’d try to keep up with some stuff in passing (which was much harder back in the formative days of The Internet), but I wasn’t reading or buying anything with any regularity. Kingdom Come was the book that put the … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Kingdom Come
So it has been revealed that, after quite a lot of speculation and hoping, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire will, in fact, appear in the third entry of the MCU Spider-Man flicks. Obviously take this with a teensy-tiny grain of salt because it’s not Official-With-A-Capital-O yet, but it’s being reported multiple places. As the link above states: A Sony source “closely involved” with the film, … Continue reading Spider-Men!
For my Night One coverage, check HERE! After having not seen any full, live episodes of Raw or Smackdown in several years, I found my first dive back in–the Smackdown Draft Night–to be highly entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of that episode. Could Raw keep up the momentum? And wow… Raw is REALLY three hours long these days, huh? I know … Continue reading The 2020 WWE Draft: Night two (Monday Night Raw)
Another week, another comic book storyline to review, fanboys. This time around, I’ll be discussing the classic Spider-Man tale that ran through all three primary Spider-Man titles (Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Web of Spider-Man) in 1987, Kraven’s Last Hunt. Now this story was published just two or three years before I was old enough to get into reading comics, so I had missed out … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Kraven’s Last Hunt
I really dug Wolverine as a kid. I can actually remember why that was even the case. At the first inkling that I was going to start getting into comics, my dad told me that Wolverine was a great character, and that I should follow his and the X-Men’s adventures. This is unusual to me because I don’t even recall my dad ever liking Wolverine … Continue reading The First Five
I’mma be straight with you right at the start: This was the first episode of WWE television I have watched live in literal years. As noted previously, I maintain my love of WWE with a steady diet of watching Pay-Per-Views and Network Specials ONLY. It’s better for everyone that way. I read the day-after Raw and Smackdown reviews and see how upsetting everything sounds. Who … Continue reading The 2020 WWE Draft: Smackdown Night One Coverage
