Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (148-150)

Welcome back to more Sailor Moon reviews! So our three hapless horn-dog villains are still chasing after whichever Dream Mirror has Pegasus in it, but now… THINGS finally start to happen! Yeah, so Naoko Takeuchi probably added more information in the manga, so the poor writers finally had more stuff to go on and didn’t need so much filler. And so in this set of … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (148-150)

Pop-Tart Quest: Frosted Crisp Apple

THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! UH, THAT IS ALL THIS WEEK. Fruit pies are the worst kind of pies. There are probably people out there that prefer fruit-based pies to, say, cream-centric pies, but I pity them as human beings, I feel sorry for their descendants, and they can not eat lunch at my table. They make questionable choices, and I worry about what effect their … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Frosted Crisp Apple

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Freak Force

Savage Dragon being based around the notion of the main hero fighting the “Suprefreaks” that make up Chicago’s supervillain community, it made sense to slowly gather good-aligned superfreaks to help out. The Chicago PD recruited various characters- the Detroit vigilante Dart, the abuse victim Horridus, and Ricochet & Barbaric were recruited by the Dragon. The elder heroes SuperPatriot & Mighty Man also join, as does Dragon’s … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Freak Force

2021 New Releases [I Saw], Ranked! Part 2!

I, uh… I already broke my own system. See, I’m writing this on December 30th, and I’ve had the article and the Letterboxd images up for a day or so thinking “Well, surely I won’t watch any more 2021 new releases by the first!”. And then I watched Encanto today. Whoops! But no matter; it would be on this end of the list anyway (as … Continue reading 2021 New Releases [I Saw], Ranked! Part 2!

2021 New Releases [I Saw], Ranked! (Part 1)

I watched over 200 movies in the year 2021, easily and happily meeting the goal I had set for myself. I am… not going to rank every movie I saw this year. That would be really hard. And by that I mean, I might get bored and do it eventually because I am lame and have literally NO NEW YEAR’S EVE PLANS. So what else … Continue reading 2021 New Releases [I Saw], Ranked! (Part 1)

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, but…I really like movies, man. Like I should… write 12,000 … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: December 2021 Part 2

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Pocahontas

POCAHONTAS (1995): Written by: Carl Binder, Susannah Grant & Philip LaZebnik And NOW WE COME… to the END of the Renaissance. The most hilarious thing about this is that Disney thought this was going to be their MAGNUM OPUS. Like, after Beauty and the Beast got some Oscar Cred, they were like “THIS TIME FOR SURE!” and put everything into pushing this as some kind of dramatic spectacle. The … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Pocahontas

Jab’s Reviews: The Ninja Turtles (Leonardo & Raphael!)

LEONARDO:-Leonardo is always the leader, in each continuity. Generally, this makes him the most serious member, the least emotional, and the least likely to joke around. Only in the 1987 Toon and Rise of the TMNT toon is he sillier and more of a jokester, but even then he is the leader. Leo thus adopts most of the “Generic Leader Tropes” that were becoming super-entrenched by the … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Ninja Turtles (Leonardo & Raphael!)

Pop-Tart Quest: Peanut Butter

IN A WORLD WHERE KELLOGG’S PUTS OUT FAR FEWER NEW POP-TARTS FLAVORS THAN THEY USED TO, SOMETIMES THERE ARE HUGE GAPS IN THESE ARTICLES! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY POP-TART SLUMBER?! Oh, hey there! It’s been… several weeks since our last journey together down Sludge Road. But yeah, I’m STILL not seeing nearly the new amount of Pop-Tart flavors that … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Peanut Butter

Stew’s Reviews: Fables – The Last Castle

I am a big fan of the TellTale Games Walking Dead series, even though the last season got canned unfinished when TellTale went out of business. I have heard that another company was going to pick up the ball and finish the season out so that the games could have a proper conclusion, but if that has already happened (and it may have), I totally … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Fables – The Last Castle

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Punisher Season 1

With the four major Marvel shows having a season or two under their belts and the Defenders miniseries event premiering, Netflix and Marvel TV took a detour. The Punisher wasn’t initially meant to have a show. Marvel had just gotten the live action rights for Frank Castle back and since Daredevil had his own gritty, ultra-violent show, it made sense to bring in the Punisher. … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Punisher Season 1

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (146-147)

And we’re back with more! The girls have just gained “Super” transformations into more powerful Sailors, but are a ways away from actually showing new powers. “Filler Episodes” are thus still the name of the game. The villains are still searching for Pegasus in a Dream Mirror (we know that it’s in Chibi-Usa’s), it’s revealed that he and Chibi-Usa have feelings for each other, and … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (146-147)

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Erik Larsen / Savage Dragon

Erik Larsen is a study in contrasts- he bailed on Marvel with the rest of the Image creators, yet retained working at Marvel for the longest out of all of them. He seems like the member with the least grievances with other creators and writers, yet has by far the most public grievance of anyone, with his feud with Peter David. And despite all of … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Erik Larsen / Savage Dragon
