I want to say that waking up every morning with an erection and never being able to do anything about it is the worst part, but… that’s fucking stupid. I guess when I think about it, every part is the worst part. When I open my eyes and everything is pitch black, that’s the worst part, too. When I’m not sure if I can get … Continue reading The Basement (Part 1): A Short Story
I love when you can watch a new movie and directly trace its influences back to other films that you have always loved. But more on that in the Ups and Downs segment of this review for reasons I will get into soon… Coming out on 9/23/2025 to Screambox, we have the new horror flick The Draft!–and yes, the exclamation point is part of the … Continue reading The Draft! Review
The Conglomerate part 2 A forest in Switzerland… A deer wondered through a grove of trees, its ears twitching in various directions in a constant state of alertness. Letting its guard down for just a moment, it stopped at a stream to get some nourishment. As it craned its neck down to drink, a tendril of energy came from the branches above and wrapped around … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #14
After my defense of Phase Four, we still find ourselves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Post-Endgame world.

After two straight [at least somewhat] extended phases, the MCU returned here to … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Five
Chapter 20 Most people, when confronted with a sound they could only recognize as explosions, run as far away as possible. Explosions imply destruction, damage, injury, and death; to the layperson, those are four things that are to be avoided at all costs. A person with a semblance of sanity and reason would hear explosions from over a dozen miles away and do everything in … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 20

Well, here it is: the dreaded “Post-Endgame” Marvel Cinematic Universe that we all hear so much about. With the, admittedly exemplary, third phase of the MCU in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look at just how the cinematic juggernaut shook out in its wake. And let’s be very real about two things here before we start: First, Phase Three, as we examined, was top-to-bottom … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Four
The Conglomerate part 1 The Ice Box metahuman prison rested within a snowy mountain, far from civilization. Its top floor was exposed to the elements. The remaining five levels were in descending order underground. If any of the super-powered criminals inside managed to escape five levels of heavily armed guards, they would meet many challenges. They would encounter drones as well. Surviving the frozen terrain … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #13
Is the 1980’s the best decade for cinema? I’m not saying it is, or that I agree with the sentiment. But I know a lot of folks that would support the notion. It’s a decade full of beloved classics and tons of nostalgic gems. And I’m not going to lie; there’s a lot of comfort food there for me as someone who was born in … Continue reading The Breakfast Club Review
Chapter 19 Chispa waited in silence on the other side of the sitrus bush. She stretched out her front paws and lowered her head and shoulders to the ground as she surveyed her prey, who was helplessly unaware of where she had vanished to. The lowering of her front end was countered by the raising of her hindquarters and tail, both of which wiggled with … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 19

After reviewing the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you almost get the feeling someone behind the scenes messed up when it came to Phase Three. Phase One and Phase Two, as you may recall from my recent reviews of them, were each six movies long. So when we dive into Phase Three, we find out that it is… almost twice as big?! … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Three

Chapter 18 Floaroma Town was barely an outskirt of a suburb, a small stopover village nestled in the woods at the bottom of Mount Coronet. In comparison, Celestic Town may well have been a bustling center of trade. But where Celestic was surrounded by perpetual mountain haze, looming pine trees, and a jagged, knife-like terrain that combined to cause Sam to fear for his life … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 18
