Top Ten: Non-Comic Book Movies of the 2010’s

Sure, maybe this isn’t thematic for November, BUT it dawned on me that we are nearing not just the end of the year, but the end of the DECADE! The 2010’s are rapidly leaving us, and who knows what the 2020’s have in mind? Depending on whether you say “Twenty-twenties” or “Two-thousand-twenties”, they may bring us 100% more Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs! Am… am … Continue reading Top Ten: Non-Comic Book Movies of the 2010’s

Stew’s Reviews: Death of Iris Allen

Even all this time later into Rebirth, I still can’t believe DC just ghosted Wally West for all those years that the New 52 was a thing. Are… are people still saying “ghosted”? If I know about it, then probably not. Wally will always be “my” Flash, no matter how hard they have been pushing the interesting-as-dry-toast Barry Allen back to the top. When I … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Death of Iris Allen

Entertainment Rex: June 2021 part 2

My wife wants us to paint our bathroom. I sometimes worry that she has forgotten who she married. There is nothing in the world I would rather do than nothing. Every so often she has grand designs on some project or another. She’ll ask “Do you want to [do a thing I don’t want to do] today?” as if she doesn’t know the answer. (The … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: June 2021 part 2

Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Fox & The Hound

THE FOX AND THE HOUND (1981): Written by: Daniel P. Mannix (original novel), Ted Berman, Larry Clemmons, David Michener, Peter Young & Burny Mattinson Another one based off of a forgotten novel (with many changes- initially Tod & Copper didn’t know each other; Chief also dies in the novel), this one wasn’t a major hit, but has a cult following, largely due to the bittersweet nature … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: The Fox & The Hound

Pop-Tart Quest: A&W Root Beer

NOT ALL POP-TARTS ARE GOOD, BUT THAT DOES NOT MATTER! ALL POP-TARTS MUST BE TRIED! NO MATTER HOW INTIMIDATING IT IS! THAT’S HOW WE FIND OUT WHAT WILL KILL US, RIGHT? THIS IS… POP-TART QUEST! Remember those blue Pop-Tarts? No one expected them to be good. I mean, I just LOOKED at those and thought “Well, I hate myself, so this is probably what I deserve”. … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: A&W Root Beer

Why the Best Comic Characters Just “Work”

Some of the most memorable and fascinating characters in all of fiction were first created for comic books. The last decade-plus of movie ticket sales can more than substantiate that. But even before cinematic effects caught up with the way these larger-than-life heroes deserved to be presented, you are still talking about characters that have moved millions of units and endured for decades across many … Continue reading Why the Best Comic Characters Just “Work”

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: Part 2

Welcome back to THE TOP 100 COMICS OF A LIFETIME (assuming you only lived to be, like, 27 or so and died 15 years ago)! In this series, we cover Wizard Magazine’s Top 100 Single Issues list that covered the timeframe of 1979 to 2006. Previously, we went over #100-96 to see what barely made the cut to round out the list. We’re still in … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: Part 2

Pokemon Generation Review: Sinnoh

As before, let’s recap if you’re just joining us. I’m reviewing each Pokemon generation and region one-by one and measuring them against each other in seven categories. I’ve ranked each gen in each category, and am sharing the scores with you to determine how they rate. A score of 6/6 in any category means that the region was the best out of all six generations in … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Sinnoh

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (112-116)

Look at how happy, harmless and innocent she is! She surely won’t cause the apocalypse! Welcome back! This time, we get the proper debuts of two important characters- our new “General”, Mimete, and the darkly mysterious Hotaru Tomoe. Who everyone familiar with the show knows by her later identity, but try to look surprised, because they run with it all season long, okay? The show … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon S (112-116)

SWO Draft: Best Cinematic Remake/Reboot!

I’m going to keep my rambling preamble (PRE-RAMBLE!) short this month because we had a great draft, and I’m excited for you to get to read it. This month’s draft was mutually agreed upon as BEST REMAKE/REBOOT MOVIES! I partnered with three others as usual, and we came up with our draft. Choosing first overall and denoted in the draft chat as RED, we have … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best Cinematic Remake/Reboot!

Jab’s Deep Dive: Image Comics (WildCATS pt 2)

For more on WildCATS as an overall review, click HERE. Spartan was pretty clearly the “Cyclops” of the WildC.A.T.s team when they first debuted- as most of the members could be traced either visually or character-wise to the X-Men, it made sense we’d have a “Cyclops”- a stoic, stable guy. Spartan even had the “hair-showing mask” with a very similar (though more flowing) haircut and … Continue reading Jab’s Deep Dive: Image Comics (WildCATS pt 2)

Top Ten: Sitcoms of All-Time

On the whole, I definitely like more sitcoms than any other genre of television. Sure, high-intensity dramas are great, and Breaking Bad might be the single greatest show ever made, but after a while, the perpetually high-stakes honestly all kind of blends together. And I run hot and cold on shows like these. For every Breaking Bad or Sopranos that I dig, there’s a Game of Thrones … Continue reading Top Ten: Sitcoms of All-Time
