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....

Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms
JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS: Warning: Any description with any combination of the words "Truly" or "Outrageous" will result in a savage beating with the "Obvious Joke Stick". Behold, the embodiment of the entire 1980s. https://youtu.be/YboGgXemzGc 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.... Continue Reading →
MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye
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... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: December 2021 Part 2
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,... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: TV Theme Songs
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,... Continue Reading →
Jab’s TMNT Review: Overview Part 2
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... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2
After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I'd definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought... could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: November 2021
This is... very quickly becoming my "Here's my recent movie reviews" post, and I am okay with that. When I started Entertainment Rex this year, the principle was that I'd discuss everything I watched, played, read, and otherwise enjoyed in the last half of a month. But I have been on an absolute movie TEAR... Continue Reading →

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:-And now, owing to the big turnout in votes for the Ninja Turtles, I'll be doing a big set of builds for the franchise! This will start off with the 1990s Movie series, then follow up with builds surrounding the trio of cartoons (leaving off Rise of the TMNT, which is too new... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: October 2021 Part 2
One hundred and sixty nine. That's how many movies I'm up to for 2021. That puts me needing 31 more between November and December to hit that lofty goal of 200 that I set for myself. Well... I say it's lofty, but then other folks tell me they are shooting for 300 or 400 or... Continue Reading →
Jab’s Disney Reviews: Gargoyles
One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear.It was the age of gargoyles.Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.Now, here in Manhattan,...

Entertainment Rex: September 2021, part 2
I feel like this will be a very short discussion this portion of the month, as I could probably just plug in "I played Fallout 4, like, A LOT" and be done with it. Why did I not play more of that game way back when I bought it? MOVIES After a movie-heavy start to... Continue Reading →
Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 1
Intro Like my Agents of SHIELD retrospective, I thought it was appropriate to talk about the other corner of Marvel TV: the Netflix shows. It's quite impressive that they seem to run the gamut between beloved and despised to the point that certain actors playing certain roles are considered definitive while others are considered the...

Top Ten: Fictional Mothers
Mothers and their children share a special something something. Hey, I don't know what to tell you; my own mom was the dirt fucking worst. All kinds of abusive and really just the absolute pits. She died a long time ago, though, so it's fine. I won. But what are you, my therapist? This isn't... Continue Reading →
