Welcome to April! Showers and flowers and all that. Rain aside, it has been getting nicer out, and I’ve even had more chances to go for walks, which I direly need. We are going to Cancun this summer, and I am CREEPING UP on 200 lbs for the first time in my life. I was depressed when I was 180! I’m working on cutting sugar … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: April 2021
Hey, I am getting to watch WrestleMania live tonight. No more Secret Hitler or pizza with friends. I get to watch pro wrestling in my basement like a winner! After a night one that started weak (by me; I get it, though. You’re all all-in on Bobby Lashley) but finished incredibly strong (again, that Belair/Banks match was better than I had even hoped), night two … Continue reading WrestleMania Night Two Review
First of all, this review is going to be up a little bit later than I would prefer. I’m usually good to get my reviews on these shows up within thirty to forty-five minutes of said show’s conclusion. But for WrestleMania night one… I will have been hours behind. My apologies! My wife had the sheer audacity to bully me into having FUN with our … Continue reading WrestleMania Night One Review
So Night One of NXT’s WrestleMania week show, Stand & Deliver, was a bit of a mixed bag. Sure there were three definitively stellar matches, but the main event Women’s Title match was a touch of a letdown. And the Gauntlet Eliminator match had some really fun moments (most of them between Bronson Reed and Isiah “Swerve” Scott in the final moments), but felt too … Continue reading NXT Stand & Deliver Night 2 Review
NXTmania week starts now! A two-night NXT Takeover? Leading in to a two-night WrestleMania? I guess I’m just not going to expect anything for Christmas this year because this must be it. NXT has really been killing it with angles lately, though, so it definitely needed two nights for this Takeover. There’s just a lot going on, and the typical five match Takeover recipe just … Continue reading NXT Stand & Deliver Night One Review
DVD Box Set wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Welcome back! We now enter the set that includes the ONE-HUNDREDTH episode of Sailor Moon (and is thus the mid-point for the entire series). We’ve just learned that the Talismans both sides are searching for are apparently to be combined into the Holy Grail, which will be wielded by The Messiah. In short: Shit is now Biblical. This one features lots … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (97-100)
YOU KNOW WHAT NO ONE HAS EVER DONE? A TOASTER STRUDEL QUEST. BECAUSE TOASTER STRUDELS WEREN’T ACTUALLY THAT GOOD. REMEMBER TOASTER STRUDELS? YOU PROBABLY DON’T EVEN! THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Dear Internet, Bacon is pretty great, right? I think we all agree on that. There is just something about the greasy, salty, crispy properties of bacon that make it a nigh universally beloved food. It … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Maple Bacon
First of all: we lied. Jab wasn’t QUITE done with Rob Liefeld yet! Because he initially forgot about YET ANOTHER team book Rob created for Image… Yes, Rob Liefeld created ANOTHER friggin’ superhero team in his first couple of years at Image Comics, the NEW MEN. Here, they’re another band of X-Men knockoffs who are “Nu-Genes”, which is the Legally-Distinct-From-Mutants of Rob’s universe… even though … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Jim Valentino!
There is 100% something to be said for a movie that tells you right in the title exactly what it is going to do. Freddy Vs Jason, for instance! It’s not a great movie by any stretch, but it delivers on everything it promises. What more could you ask for? It literally has multiple extended sequences of Freddy Kreuger dueling with Jason Voorhees. There is … Continue reading Godzilla vs Kong Review
WrestleMania is rad. Whether you like professional wrestling or not, there’s still a national mystique around WrestleMania. It’s wrestling’s Superbowl, it’s Academy Awards. The biggest night of the wrestling calendar. And while the general wrestling viewing audience is comparatively small nowadays, there is still a curiosity about ‘Mania every year. Because so many of us grew up with it, either from the 80’s Rock N’ … Continue reading Top Ten: WrestleMania Matches Ever
My wife hates comics books. It’s really frustrating, but honestly, we have so little in common, and some of that so little is that she just has no interest in them whatsoever. Not just superheroes, either. The whole notion of “books with pictures in them” is anathema to her. What’s really weird is that she LOVES all the comic-based cartoon shows from our youth. Batman … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Long Halloween

I mentioned back on the Ides of March that I had a very slow cinematic start to the month. Boy did I rectify that in the back half of the month! I went on an absolute spree to finish out March (like a… lion? Is that right yet?), catching thirteen movies in a fourteen day span, with a few different days of two flicks alone! … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: March 2021, part 2

THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963): Written by: T.H. White (original story), Bill Peet This is arguably one of the most forgotten Disney Animated Canon films, at least among those that were entirely one story and not collections of shorts. I remember it vaguely as a kid, because I saw something where an old wizard was shapechanging into animals along with a young kid. this seemed … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Sword in the Stone
