Head Games part 5 (finale) Ryan Bennings lay prone on the floor of his lab, a mysterious, empty syringe next to him. In the Ice Box, Miles Cady searched his mind, but only found darkness. Even when Ryan was asleep and thousands of miles away, he could reach him, but now, there was nothing. His final thoughts concerned the syringe in his lab and whatever … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #20
I recently went on a binge–though an unplanned and unexpected one–where I watched a trio of sequels to classic movies from the 1980’s in the span of less than a month. And while this review in particular is going to be primarily about the most recent one I watched (Lethal Weapon 2), I’m going to be touching on all three in bits since it was … Continue reading Lethal Weapon 2 Review (And The 80’s Sequels Edition!)
Chapter 9: Present Day Chispa whimpered unhappily. Sam thought that letting her out of her Friend Ball so that she could stretch her eager little legs would make her happy, but it quickly became obvious that all she wanted was to run about the deck of the cargo ship. Sam considered that this was not a great idea given that he had no way of … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 9
It actually just dawned on me the reason John Cena and Idris Elba have such good chemistry in this new straight-to-Amazon-Prime offering is that they have worked in tandem before in the amazing The Suicide Squad. This isn’t their first outing together! No wonder! Heads Of State sees the duo team up yet again, with Cena playing a movie star turned President Of The United … Continue reading Heads Of State Review
Head Games part 4 Ryan held Labrat’s hand as he lay in the hospital bed. With Labrat’s unique genetic makeup, his bones and tissue were humanoid enough to require normal doctors. The wounds were consistent with blunt trauma – severe bruising, one broken ulna, one laceration across the face, and one cracked rib. Ryan told the doctors an enemy had attacked but opted not to … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #19
PRIMAL RAGE: This has gotta go down as one of the biggest video game disappointments ever- I mean, it’s a digitized game in the vein of Mortal Kombat, but with Harryhausen-esque GIANT DINOSAURS doing the fighting. How is that NOT the greatest idea of all time? A Dinosaur FIGHTING GAME? With Fatalities, consumption of human beings, and a Life Bar that ends in a heart that … Continue reading Jab’s Builds: Primal Rage
Mint and chocolate, man. They deserve each other. I mean, let’s face it: chocolate goes great with a lot of things. Peanut butter. Caramel. Lemonade (don’t knock it!). But I always think that mint is one of the best flavors you can mix with the delicious dark stuff. I remember ages ago I was at Bath And Bodyworks, and they had a chocolate mint candle … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Thin Mints
Writer and movie critic Jay Rohr joins The Order this episode to discuss the movie that was SO CLOSE to being called “New World Order”: Captain America Brave New World. Oh well. I guess that’s a good title, too. For more from Jay Rohr, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 150: Captain America – Brave New World
Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually done this list before. I’m not even going to link to it because it was years and years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve watched and re-watched a lot more movies. And new movies have come out, affecting some franchises’ positioning on the list… for better or worse. Also, the previous list had one glaring omission… … Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises
Head Games part 3 “You seem to be putting some… lighter memories at the forefront of your mind, Bennings. Even while you’re unconscious.” “A little mental trick Rex taught me years ago. That’s what you get for bouncing around in my head while I sleep.” Ryan was younger and on stage with Adam Sandler in front of a Saturday Night Live audience. Sandler was wearing … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #18
With having now watched Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, I am now up to seven Hayao Miyazaki films in my mental catalogue. Which is to say: a fair amount, but not nearly enough! Nausicaa is a strange one. It technically pre-dates Studio Ghibli, but it is often shown at Ghibli based viewings and festivals. It’s the pre-cursor to the studio, and the film … Continue reading NausicaA Of The Valley Of The Wind Review
One of those things I guess I just don’t “get” as an adult is how often I am supposed to change my bed’s mattress. Society would lead me to believe it is more often than I think it is, because how else would you explain how there are mattress stores, like, EVERYWHERE. Given that I assume my bed’s mattress is going to last until I … Continue reading California King Review
Chapter 8: Six Years Ago… “Most kids can’t wait to get as far away from home as possible for college, and you want to stay here? You’re crazy, Sammy.” Sam and Tommy stood outside Ilex Hall, the largest educational building on the University of Goldenrod City’s campus, hosting most of the math and business courses that the school offered. Seeing as how Tommy had attended … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 8
Comic writer D.G. Chichester is with The Order today to discuss the neon-soaked (or is it?) 1980’s-set sequel to Wonder Woman. Have either of their feelings changed on it, as this was a rewatch for both Stew and D.G.? For more of Mr. Chichester’s works, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 149: Wonder Woman 1984
Head Games part 2 The Ice Box was a cylindrical structure residing within a mountain in the Himalayans; most of the building was buried inside the mountain itself while an entrance, tower, defensive weapons, and a landing pad protruded from the peak. It was officially named the International Metahuman Correctional Facility but its snowy surroundings and the fact that it was a prison resulted in … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #17
