“Never Trust Anyone Whose Favorite Movie Came Out After They Turned 21”. I saw someone post this once on Twitter, and I was aghast. (I wasn’t. I just like the word “aghast” and need to work it into more things. “Rob, what did you think of your niece’s 2nd birthday party?” “I was aghast!” See? Always fun) Anyway, I started thinking, “Well how true can … Continue reading On Nostalgia And Biases
What’s up party people, this is ya boy Joey, the host of the So Wizard Podcast and here is my list of the best TV show theme songs! Right off the bat, let’s be honest here, I didn’t make this list to win the poll. In fact, this isn’t even really a list of the best theme songs, but it’s MY choices for the best. … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs (By SO WIZARD!)
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
I could have seen sub-dividing this topic out even further after I had gotten started. With September being upon us, and the ninth month of the year typically being when new seasons of television start, I decided it would be a good time to do our long-awaited Top Ten Television Show Theme Songs list. (Now, granted, in the era of reality shows that all seem … Continue reading Top Ten: TV Theme Songs

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.It was a time of darkness.

“OZ… that’s the name on the street for the Oswald State Maximum Security Correctional Facility- Level Four” This show stands out as one of my all-time favorites, despite a few hiccups. This was HBO’s very-first original series, before “The Sopranos”, “Sex and the City”, “The Wire” and others came THIS. The brainchild of series creator Tom Fontana, “Oz” takes place in the Oswald State Maximum … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: HBO’s Oz
I am wholly convinced we have been living in the one true Golden Age of television. Think about what’s come out since the turn of the century. Gone are the days of the boob tube; TV now presents some of the most engaging, thoughtful, and poignant forms of entertainment across all media. There are also a lot of Look At These Sexy People Be Sexy … Continue reading Draft: Best TV Shows To Debut After 2010
My back is not yet 100%, but it’s miles ahead of where it was at this point in January. It turns out that I have a mutant healing factor! OR I was being a hypochondriac. But probably the healing factor. That seems more likely. Anyway: it’s Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s Day to lovers, young and old. I know, I know. Valentine’s Day is a commercial … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: February Part 1
“The Head” is a short-lived series from MTV, created for their indie-animation showcase “Liquid Television” (where “Beavis & Butt-head” & “AEon Flux” also came from)- it’s the tale of a freakishly-deformed trade-school student who is charged with halting an alien invasion by the alien that lives in his head. It lasted a couple years in 1995 and 1996, and is primarily a set of shorts … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Head
Welcome to our newest feature here at SWO Productions: Entertainment Rex! Twice a month, I will look back on what I’ve read, watched, and experienced and let you know if it can be recommended or not (is that… semi-monthly? Bi-monthly is every other month, right? What means “twice a month”? Semi… Bi-sometimesly? Anyone have any help here?). I’ll be honest with you… mostly I am … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: January
