There is 100% something to be said for a movie that tells you right in the title exactly what it is going to do. Freddy Vs Jason, for instance! It’s not a great movie by any stretch, but it delivers on everything it promises. What more could you ask for? It literally has multiple extended sequences of Freddy Kreuger dueling with Jason Voorhees. There is … Continue reading Godzilla vs Kong Review
I mentioned back on the Ides of March that I had a very slow cinematic start to the month. Boy did I rectify that in the back half of the month! I went on an absolute spree to finish out March (like a… lion? Is that right yet?), catching thirteen movies in a fourteen day span, with a few different days of two flicks alone! … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: March 2021, part 2
THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963): Written by: T.H. White (original story), Bill Peet This is arguably one of the most forgotten Disney Animated Canon films, at least among those that were entirely one story and not collections of shorts. I remember it vaguely as a kid, because I saw something where an old wizard was shapechanging into animals along with a young kid. this seemed … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Sword in the Stone
I am wholly convinced we have been living in the one true Golden Age of television. Think about what’s come out since the turn of the century. Gone are the days of the boob tube; TV now presents some of the most engaging, thoughtful, and poignant forms of entertainment across all media. There are also a lot of Look At These Sexy People Be Sexy … Continue reading Draft: Best TV Shows To Debut After 2010
Well, it turns out I was wrong. When the long-awaited Snyder Cut was finally announced, but we were also told it would take months to release and cost almost an additional one hundred million dollars, I was convinced that this movie was essentially going to be a do-over. I thought for sure the Snyder “cut” never existed; they were just going to release an almost … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review
The most famous lesbian couple in the history of cartoons. Like, who’s even #2? And we’re back! When last I left off Sailor Moon S (for Super!), we were introduced to Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune, a pair of… VERY close young women, both of whom were on a mission to collect the mystical Talismans, same as the other Sailors. But instead of being close … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (94-96)
It’s the Ides of March! I don’t… I don’t know what that means. Something to do with Julius Caesar being assassinated, but it isn’t called that BECAUSE of it. The Ides were a thing before he died. It’s like… if I was assassinated on Christmas, Christmas wouldn’t be famous for THAT. (That got dark fast this article…) Wasn’t he warned, “beware the Ides of March”? … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: March 2021
I had given up on Terminator flicks a long time ago. The last Terminator movie I saw was the third entry in the series. I never bothered with Salvation or Genisys because they both looked pretty terrible, and it seemed as though the franchise was just churning out properties to cash in on a nostalgia market. The magic of the original and its first sequel … Continue reading Movie Review: Terminator Dark Fate
ONE-HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS (1961): Written by: Dodie Smith (novel), Bill Peet (solo) This one’s one of the most well-remembered “Middle Period” Disney movies (and the first to be set in the modern day, actually!), owing primarily to its singularly-memorable villain; one so legendary that she’s become completely iconic. Cruella de Vil is probably in the Top Five most-remembered Disney Villains these days, which is saying … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: 101 Dalmations
New goddamn Sailors- that’s right. And we’re back!! Sailor Moon S, possibly/probably the most beloved season of the massive series, started off with a bang last episode, as Usagi desperately watched her best friend (Rei/Sailor Mars) almost die. They were saved… by two MYSTERIOUS SAILORS!! Just what’s going on?!? EPISODE #91: Usagi’s Silver Crystal has stopped glowing after the last battle, and she fears she’ll … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (91-93)
It’s draft time yet again, where the SWO partners with some other fantastic independent talent to see who can make the subjectively best list of a random pop culture topic! This week, I pulled in our friends Liz from the Nerdy Bitches podcast, Ken from the Ocho Duro Parley Hour, and Marquee Mark from So Wizard podcast. We spitballed some idea before finally settling on … Continue reading Draft: Best Comedies Post-2000
Hey, it’s Snyder Month! Regardless of how you or I feel about the upcoming Snyder Cut, it’s well on its way, and it will be hitting HBO Max on 3/18/21. And there has been a segment of fans who have been rabidly awaiting this moment in pop culture history. Between those fans and the morbid curiosity of others who want to see what the big … Continue reading Top Ten: DC Comics Films
February sure is a short month. It feels like I just did part one of this. Nevertheless, we are moving full-bore into MARCH, the month that has something to do with lions and lambs; I could never keep it straight. Does it come in like a lion (fierce) and out like a lamb (soft?), or does it come in like a lamb (white and fluffy) … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: February Part 2
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
