Parents Just Don’t Understand: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! In two and a half seasons, I have learned something. This show has two different beginnings: “Buffy Is Hunting”, or “At School”. This one is “Buffy Is Hunting”! So Buffy is out hunting, and mom shows up out of nowhere with a snack. How did she know where Buffy was? I’ve never seen Buffy tell her “I’m going out … Continue reading Parents Just Don’t Understand: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E11-12

Jab’s Reviews: TMNT (Lotus Blossom, Mona Lisa & Ninjara)

Yes, that’s right- it’s time to talk about WEIRD NINJA TURTLE GIRLFRIENDS!! I mean, it’s hard to imagine a piece of fiction about teenage boys without adding their crushes into things, but the various TMNT series have always been rather sparse with that. The young age of the fans (meaning you have to take “EW- GIRLS!” into effect) and the fact that they’re half-human terrapins … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: TMNT (Lotus Blossom, Mona Lisa & Ninjara)

“I WANT YOU SO BADLY!”: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E9-10

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Season 3 episode 9 starts off with some Davey-Jones-From-Pirates-Of-The-Caribbean-ass monster choking Buffy out and just… letting Willow and Xander run around to assist her until she can kill it. The three of them talk for a second about Cordelia and Oz, but then pivot to Faith.

AP Productions: Winghaven #14

Dan was admitted to the ER immediately and rushed into emergency surgery. It was likely what was left of his arm would have to be amputated. His girlfriend Ashley, meanwhile, sat in the waiting room in a near comatose state. Alysa sat next to her and attempted to console her by holding her hand and talking her through the ordeal. Creed, meanwhile, paced around the … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #14

AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #7

Ryan sat in a lab located in the Catskill Mountains, happily pouring over mathematical formulas. He was rarely happy despite being a child. He had just gotten accepted to Harvard despite his youth, his cartoon was the most popular kids’ show in America and he was potentially the wealthiest child in the world but he wasn’t usually happy. Visits to Rex Robinson’s Catskills lab were … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #7

NFL Films Presents: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E7-8

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! We don’t really OPEN with Buffy, Faith, and Giles out hunting–there is an opening sequence of no import with the gang at The Bronze–but it is the first relevant thing that happens. Giles just chills out while his two slayers go to town, and… why do the vampires always leave him alone when he is out with them? Isn’t he … Continue reading NFL Films Presents: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E7-8

Pop-Tart Quest: Gingerbread

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Wait, is that… this isn’t that holiday, is it? Well, whatever; I found a store that was recently selling this flavor of Pop-Tarts, and while they feel like a holdover from the holiday season several months ago at this point, they are the Tarts I have for this holiday! (Yes, these were definitely held onto for a while; this box expires THIS MONTH … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Gingerbread

Stew’s Reviews: The Child Within

I have had a cold for 14 days. It’s not great! Five days ago, I had completely lost my voice, but luckily I regained enough of it to be able to semi-successfully podcast last night. But we recorded essentially two whole shows, and the end of the night, I was done. Can’t wait to listen to those segments and see how abominable I sounded. Especially … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Child Within
