Finally, a new Sailor appears- the older, wiser Sailor Pluto! EPISODE #75: Another one I remember- Chibi-Usa is threatened by the Grim Man, while all of a sudden Prince Dimande brings up the “Malefic Black Crystal”, which seeks out targets. And of course Esmeraude is in love with Dimande. His brother, Prince Saphir, is also seen- he has one of the more interesting designs in … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon R (75-79)
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
So all right… I should have expected this. The records will show that I have been extremely excited for Wonder Woman 1984 since the very first trailer was unveiled way back in the Before Times. I was geared up for the Jenkins/Gadot follow up to their 2017 movie in a way that few movies in the last year have made me feel. I haven’t been … Continue reading Wonder Woman 1984 Review
CINDERELLA (1950) Written By: Charles Perrault (original), Ken Anderson, Perce Pearce, Homer Brightman, Winston Hibler, BilL Peet, Erdman Penner, Harry Reeves, Joe Rinaldi, Ted Sears & Maurice Rapf So in 1950, after YEARS of being forced to make cheap-ass “Compilations Of Shorts” films, Walt Disney FINALLY had enough money in the Baby Boom Era to make a REAL picture again. Cinderella, based off of a famous story … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Cinderella
More Sailor Moon reviews! When last I left off, the final episodes aired in the initial run in North America were posted here. As of this point… we reach the episodes I CAN’T quote off the top of my head! Villains I barely remember, turns that I have to actually read to recall, and more. Exciting times! So the Sailors all have their new attacks, … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon R (69-74)
Oh, the sad, strange tale of Fox’s New Mutants movie. The last of the studio’s X-Men related movies was delayed about two and a half years in total between the Disney buyout, planned reshoots, scheduling conflicts with other X-flicks, and COVID-19. It seemed destined for film purgatory–a film that was only ever going to be available in low quality online pirate copies, and which would … Continue reading Movie Review: New Mutants
Welcome back to more Sailor Moon reviews! Yay! We last left off with Sailor Mercury developing a new power, and we’re in the midst of another “Sailors Gain New Powers” set of episodes. Oddly enough, we just DID THAT not ten episodes earlier, but because that was a “Filler” season, the showrunners decided… to just ignore those powers forever. I mean… WHY? Why NOT shake … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon R (63-68)
THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD (1949) Written by: Kenneth Grahame (The Wind in the Willows), Washington Irving (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow), Howard Brightman, Winston Hibler, Erdman Penner, Harry Reeves, Joe Rinaldi & Ted Sears Here’s one I’d never even heard of until my family got a Disney Calendar- one of those small page-flipper ones where you got a different image & comment each … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Adventures of Ichad and Mr Toad
Supernatural ended this past week. I thought the series finale was about as good as the show was ever likely to have–and between this and the recent finale to The Good Place, I am happy to see shows I love getting proper send-offs. I wasn’t able to watch the ending as it aired, but I did watch it immediately after work on Friday with the … Continue reading Supernatural: A Retrospective
Big shout out to Masters Of The Nerdiverse, with whom I had an interaction on Twitter that spawned this article! Check them out at their site, linked in their name! There are phases I have gone through in my life, and I imagine a lot of people who have a fondness for pop culture have gone through something similar. When I was a child, I … Continue reading The Dangers Of Liking Things Ironically
The big breaking news in the world of entertainment is that the long-awaited (long, Long, LONG awaited) sequel to DC’s Wonder Woman will finally be released in theaters on Christmas Day… the present we deserve at the end of the long worldwide nightmare that has been 2020. But that’s not all! In addition to releasing in theaters, it will be simultaneously debuting on HBO Max. … Continue reading Wonder Woman To Be Released On HBO Max!
Here’s something a little bit different- these reviews will more or less sum up and review the “Collections of Shorts” era of Disney features. The Story: Falling fortunes and World War II put a lot of studios in dire financial straights, and Disney was no exception. Therefore, some cost-cutting measures were taken with the next handful of pictures, starting with Saludos Amigos. These are the World … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Disney’s Collection of Shorts
SAILOR MOON R- PART TWO Sailor Moon R is split into two separate bits, the first one a mini-arc I just reviewed, meant largely as “Filler” to move things along while they waited for Rumiko Takahashi to write more of the manga. The fact that the enemy used “Draining Energy” as their core concept was a big sign of that, as that’s the point of … Continue reading Jab Reviews: Sailor Moon R (60-62)
Top 10 Franchises: According to Paul from The Countdown: Movie and TV Reviews! (On Twitter!) I’m used to making lists. I do it every week on my show with my co-host Wayne, and we manage to talk for at least an hour about our choices. But I can’t imagine how long writing out an hour’s worth of talk would be, so I’m going to make this short and … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises (by THE COUNTDOWN!)

In all of Hollywood’s history, to get 3 or more quality films out of an idea/concept/story can be more of a challenge that you think.
