Well, here it is: the dreaded “Post-Endgame” Marvel Cinematic Universe that we all hear so much about. With the, admittedly exemplary, third phase of the MCU in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look at just how the cinematic juggernaut shook out in its wake. And let’s be very real about two things here before we start: First, Phase Three, as we examined, was top-to-bottom … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Four
After reviewing the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you almost get the feeling someone behind the scenes messed up when it came to Phase Three. Phase One and Phase Two, as you may recall from my recent reviews of them, were each six movies long. So when we dive into Phase Three, we find out that it is… almost twice as big?! … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase Three
When last we met to discuss my favorite movies of the opening half-decade of the 2020’s, I mostly bemoaned the passage of time and how old we are all getting and how we keep onward towards our inevitable demise. Also, I mused that COVID-19 was, like, five years ago! Wild! It was really fun stuff. When not doing those things, though, I was counting down … Continue reading Top Ten Movies Of The Half-Decade, #10-1

As I write this, I am about a week removed from having a surprise appendectomy. It’s weird how your body can just turn on you. I’m not here to say it’s a terrible thing compared to what a lot of people go through, but waking up at 3am because you are suddenly in a new pain you never felt before and being in surgery by … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Spider-Geddon
It’s all led up to this. We’re finally at the Top Ten Movies of 2023. According to me. Because these are my articles. You’ll have your chance to give me your top ten at the end here. So be patient.

Good fiction makes me cry, man. I’ve never hidden this fact. If something is well-made and has basically any amount of emotionality to it, I will likely shed a tear or two. Usually not much, but make no mistake… there are movies on this list that made me sob. Just full-on ugly cry. I think part of my brain appreciates writing that is able to … Continue reading Top Ten Movies That Made Me Cry
I have had a cold for 14 days. It’s not great! Five days ago, I had completely lost my voice, but luckily I regained enough of it to be able to semi-successfully podcast last night. But we recorded essentially two whole shows, and the end of the night, I was done. Can’t wait to listen to those segments and see how abominable I sounded. Especially … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: The Child Within

I don’t want to come across as one of Those People, but man… I miss comic books from my youth. When I had started reading comics, it was the very end of the 80’s. You could essentially say my first full year as a reader was 1990 to make it easy. So by the time I was into the hobby, the classic Marvel roster had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Stan Lee Presents The Amazing Spider-Man
Well, as of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, we are officially into Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the highly divisive Phase Four is finally and fully in our rear-view mirror. With the unprecedented success of, and overall affection for, the MCU’s efforts through its first three phases, a backslide in Phase Four was inevitable. Though exactly how far the slide regressed the … Continue reading MCU Phase 4: Ups And Downs
