Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 3

At this point in Netflix Marvel’s history, both Iron Fist and Luke Cage had been cancelled and the remaining seasons of Daredevil, Punisher, and Jessica Jones were being released almost a month from one another. I recall the build-up to Daredevil’s third season having almost no promotion from Netflix, which made me think the whole franchise was on the chopping block. After all, Daredevil was … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 3

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Hercules

HERCULES (1997) Written by: Ron Clements, John Musker & Barry Johnson Ahhhhh HERCULES. This one’s a funny one for me, because at the time I HATED IT, largely due to the bastardization of Greek Mythology (it’s easier to define what they got RIGHT than what they got WRONG, and basically it’s that Hercules was the son of Zeus, killed some of the same monsters, hooked up with … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Hercules

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 2

We’re winding down to the last few entries in this series. At this point in history, it seemed the Marvel Netflix showrunners were certain there would be future seasons, as evident by the number of cliffhangers in Phase Two. In reality, Marvel was removing itself from Netflix so it could stream more MCU-centric shows on Disney+ in the future. During this time, Netflix was trying … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 2

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (159-162)

Sailor Moon: Saving the world and interfering in the love-life of a child, all in the same episode! Welcome back! When last we left off, Pegasus revealed that he’s actually Helios, the guardian of the Dream World, where all of mankind’s dreams reside. And he resembles a young-ish boy, making his relationship with Chibi-Usa slightly less weird! Meanwhile, Queen Nehalennia still wants control over his … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (159-162)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

1 THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1996): Written by: Victor Hugo (original novel), Tab Murphy, Irene Mecchi, Bob Tzudiker, Noni White, Jonathan Roberts This one’s a bit funny, because it was kind of forgotten as a disappointment when it first came out, and Disney isn’t really crazy about it. Coming on the heels of the crappy Pocahontas didn’t help, as people were already “WELP THAT’S THE END OF … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (156-158)

Hey all! Welcome back! Time to get even more into the series, with a pretty famous episode (one based off of the manga, too). So this far in, we have the Amazoness Quartet as largely-interchangeable villainesses, hunting down Dream Mirrors hoping to find the one hiding Pegasus (which, remember, we know is Chibi-Usa). Zirconia leads them, but is herself led by the impatient Queen Nehalennia. … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (156-158)

Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE (2000): Written by: Scott Gorden This movie’s an odd fit- it’s basically a sequel to A Goofy Movie, and uses the same general “Father & Son Have An Argument Then An Understanding” plotline, but involves the then-trendy X-Games as an overall theme, ISN’T a musical, and it’s missing one of the major characters of the first film. Max, P.J. & Bobby (playing a … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: Behold, the embodiment of the entire 1980s. The Transformers is the mightiest toy-selling cartoon of all time, and G.I. Joe is probably the best overall, but Jem will always have my heart. See, where alot of these shows come from the epitome of animation that was the ’80s, very few of them actually LOOK “’80s”. Sure, there’s Ghetto Blasters (better known as Boom-Boxes these days…. or … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

“The Power of the Dog” review

Phew, what a heavy ride this film is! This is not by any means a “feel good” film. It’s a rough, take no prisoners, assault on the emotions. Not just for one character either. Basically every lead character has a defining arc of pain and loss throughout the entire film. Speaking of characters, what an incredible cast Jane Campion has assembled! Benedict Cumberbatch (Phil) and … Continue reading “The Power of the Dog” review
