Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE (2000): Written by: Scott Gorden This movie’s an odd fit- it’s basically a sequel to A Goofy Movie, and uses the same general “Father & Son Have An Argument Then An Understanding” plotline, but involves the then-trendy X-Games as an overall theme, ISN’T a musical, and it’s missing one of the major characters of the first film. Max, P.J. & Bobby (playing a … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: An Extremely Goofy Movie

Comics’ Best Alternate Looks: X-Men Edition

The last time we came together to discuss some of the better non-standard appearances of our favorite comic book characters, I mentioned that the X-Men alone could be at least one article. Never let it be said that I don’t sometimes fulfill my promises, because here we are with an X-Men Special Edition of Comics’ Best Alternate Looks! I may have done Wolverine and Jean Grey in … Continue reading Comics’ Best Alternate Looks: X-Men Edition

Jab’s Reviews: Jem & The Holograms

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

“The Power of the Dog” review

Phew, what a heavy ride this film is! This is not by any means a “feel good” film. It’s a rough, take no prisoners, assault on the emotions. Not just for one character either. Basically every lead character has a defining arc of pain and loss throughout the entire film. Speaking of characters, what an incredible cast Jane Campion has assembled! Benedict Cumberbatch (Phil) and … Continue reading “The Power of the Dog” review

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 2

Welcome back to my retrospective. We are now entering what I like to call “Phase Two” of the Marvel shows on Netflix. It’s basically the final seasons of all the shows. This phase also didn’t quite have the critical acclaim as the others, sadly. The hype was gone, there had been quite a few bumps in the road, and some of the later seasons didn’t … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 2

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (153-155)

Welcome back! We just saw Sailor Mercury & Sailor Mars get their new “Super Sailor” powers, so that leaves only two left! And SURELY they won’t screw them over by making them share, right? So the Amazoness Quartet are still searching for what we now know is a GOLDEN Dream Mirror, and they’re showing pretty same-y personalities, minus one… EPISODE #153: We take a break … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (153-155)

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Savage Dragon’s Rogues Gallery And Others!

Overlord exists as the first “Big Bad” in The Savage Dragon , though he’s very clearly drawn from the “List of Generic Super-Villain Cliches”- a big armored dude with a cape and a metal mask. I mean, it’s a big “Doctor Doom” thing and that’s it. He turned out to be a Mafiosi in his secret identity who realized that the “Freaks” of Chicago were soon becoming … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Savage Dragon’s Rogues Gallery And Others!

Stew’s Reviews: Flash – Blitz

Devotees of my podcast will know I have something of a reputation on our show of being “The DC Guy”, and specifically as “The Flash Guy”. That mostly came about as when I was in college, my Marvel reading had all but fallen off the face of the Earth, while I started getting seriously into DC for the first time ever. I was entering DC … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Flash – Blitz

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 Aja Hawkeye series and while I hadn’t read it, I … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – Hawkeye

MCU Disney+ Year In Review – What If…?

As a young lad, there were comics I would buy on a regular basis and comics I would get on a whim or if something caught my eye. The one comic I would get on a semi-regular basis was What If. As the name implies, it presented familiar comic stories and explored the possibility of things turning out in a completely different way. Often, it … Continue reading MCU Disney+ Year In Review – What If…?

Jab’s Disney Reviews: A Goofy Movie (Character Retrospective)

Since my review of “A Goofy Movie” was getting a little long last week, I decided to split it up into two. Today’s article just deals with the characters in the movie. Again, you haven’t read my thoughts on the actual movie, I urge you to check out that previous entry! GOOFY Goofy (the last name is implied to be Goofey on the intergenerational map, but … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: A Goofy Movie (Character Retrospective)
