FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We sees Cordelia and two of her friends walking through the halls of the school to open the penultimate episode of the first season. They quite literally bump into Buffy, causing the latter to spill her assortment of medieval weaponry to the floor. Buffy makes a lame excuse for why she has them, but Cordy just makes fun of … Continue reading Xander Is Less Awful: A BTVS Retrospective, Eps 11-12
FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! As we near the end of season one, we are in the throes of some very important goings-on… like the SunnyDale High School Talent Show! We start off with more picking on Cordelia as we see her trying to sing, but being abjectly terrible at it. For some reason, Giles is hosting the talent show, and does this school … Continue reading Xander Is The Worst: A BtVS Retrospective, Eps 9-10
FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Oh, episode 7 is called “Angel”, so I’m expecting some answers I already know (because I’m not oblivious to pop culture) to all the questions I have and don’t really care about. But you know what? The episode is not called “Xander”, so we’ll call it a win! Oh man, The Master is going to send The Three after … Continue reading Xander Is The Pits: A BTVS Retrospective, Episodes 7-8
Episode 5 This episode starts off and makes me angry right angry. Every time Buffy kills a vamp, they disintegrate, right? I mean, one the one hand, I get that, but it doesn’t ALWAYS make sense. Like… why would freshly turned vampires turn to dust? Their bodies are’t old and rotted. Whatever, that’s not the point. This vampire leaves behind a ring when he dies. … Continue reading I Hate Xander: A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, Episodes 5-6
I recently rewatched the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. It’s… not great. I mean, it is what it is, but the acting isn’t anything resembling outstanding and the story is dumb and nothing about it is particularly well made, but… hmm. Pee-Wee Herman is in it? And the entire third act just stars Kristy Swanson’s cleavage? So I mean… it tried. And Jungle Boy Jack … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes 1-2
A bit predictable, but maybe that’s from seeing a lot of Anime in my life. Beautifully (and frightfully) animated from top notch studio Project I. G. (They do most of the Ghost in the Shell stuff), “Housing Complex C” tells the tale of an apartment complex where several seniors and a few families reside. There’s a girl named Kimi, who lives with her mother. All … Continue reading Housing Complex C (from Adult Swim)
Chibi-Chibi, the somewhat controversial Pokemon-speaking little girl, and her actual form. Welcome back to more Sailor Stars reviews- we’re way deep in the series as the last enemy General reveals herself in this very review! Sailor Aluminum Siren is still largely in charge, but her increased failures are irking Sailor Galaxia, the ultimate Big Bad. And Chibi-Chibi is still running around in the background, and … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Stars (Episodes #187-188)
“Never Trust Anyone Whose Favorite Movie Came Out After They Turned 21”. I saw someone post this once on Twitter, and I was aghast. (I wasn’t. I just like the word “aghast” and need to work it into more things. “Rob, what did you think of your niece’s 2nd birthday party?” “I was aghast!” See? Always fun) Anyway, I started thinking, “Well how true can … Continue reading On Nostalgia And Biases
What’s up party people, this is ya boy Joey, the host of the So Wizard Podcast and here is my list of the best TV show theme songs! Right off the bat, let’s be honest here, I didn’t make this list to win the poll. In fact, this isn’t even really a list of the best theme songs, but it’s MY choices for the best. … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs (By SO WIZARD!)
When I was a young Jab, there was only ONE cartoon and toyline that I could have called my favourite, and that one is Dino-Riders. Dino-Riders is another Merch-Based 1980s cartoon, this one from TYCO Toys. What sets it apart from the pack is that if features ALIENS FIGHTING IN LASER WARS WHILE RIDING GIANT ARMOURED DINOSAURS. It’s like the grab-bag of every single sweet thing in … Continue reading Jab Looks At: Dino Riders!
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
We’re on our last entry. 2021 was a great ride in terms of the first batch of MCU shows on Disney+. Just before Christmas, we were given the appropriately holiday-themed show, Hawkeye. This was the show I was most looking forward to. First of all, the show was supposed to be following the Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye series and while I hadn’t read it, I … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye
I did it. Two-hundred movies across the year 2021. Individually, 215 movies and about 220 total viewings when you factor in the flicks I saw twice, one of which was Jason X because EVERYONE should watch Jason X twice a year. He just wanted his machete back. I should have a better goal for 2022, but…I really like movies, man. Like I should… write 12,000 … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: December 2021 Part 2
I could have seen sub-dividing this topic out even further after I had gotten started. With September being upon us, and the ninth month of the year typically being when new seasons of television start, I decided it would be a good time to do our long-awaited Top Ten Television Show Theme Songs list. (Now, granted, in the era of reality shows that all seem … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs
For part one in this series, click HERE! THE PLAYMATES TOY LINE:-Well crap, you want something every kid I knew was OBSESSED with, back in the day? Look no further. These toys were AWESOME- some were incredibly-detailed, some were HUGE, and plenty of them kicked ass. My brother and I had all kinds of these things- General Tragg, Muckman, Baxter Stockman, my beloved Casey Jones, … Continue reading Jab’s TMNT Review: Overview Part 2
