I’ve read a lot of comics in my day, everything from light-hearted romance manga to the ultra-gore that is Garth Ennis’s Crossed, but there have been only handful of times when I closed the work and audibly said “now THAT was a good comic!” Most of them were handed out cautiously and most certainly after […]
Terminator is one of those movies that if you tell someone you haven’t seen it, it’s like telling them they just got fired from their jobs. A series of complex emotions cross their face like a robot learning how to feel before an inevitable tidal wave of “what?” and “how?” begin pouring out their exasperated […]
Some say that you haven’t lived until you’ve dropped a hit of acid on some Pink Floyd. They say that everything tastes better, looks better, and man oh man, does that bass guitar swim like a golden dragon in the plump, pink clouds of the early morning sun. Sometimes though, sometimes it’s not enough and […]
You know what’s great about the X-Files? Everything! Everything is great about the X-Files! It’s a goddamn national treasure right up there with the White House and that soup painting by Andy Warhol. The political intrigue of a secret FBI unit, the moral intricacies of discovering a world beyond our understanding, ALIENS! It’s got everything […]
Do you remember that brief time in the nineties when Melissa Joan Hart was the Queen of teen? With her fashion forward outfits and sharp take on teen/tween issues, she became an unofficial icon of young girls in ugly overalls everywhere, taking her unique brand of YOU-nique across the after-school TV plateau spanning from Clarissa […]
We all carry around our own personal tragedies. Things we did, things we saw, things we regretted. But, much like taxes and death, you just can’t avoid it and in the end, it all comes down to how you manage the damage. But hey, it’s not like there’s something out there feeding on your fear […]
Best friends are like pickles. They live in a jar, you eat them when salty, and they complement the hell out of a sandwich. Alright, that was a terrible comparison, but you get the idea. Best friends are fun. So what happens when best friends drift apart? When there are words unspoken and the gap […]
You know what’s cool? Vikings. You know what else is cool? Samurai. You know what’s the coolest thing ever then? Yup, Vikings fighting Samurai. And no, I’m not talking about that Cowboy Ninja Viking comic from nine years ago about a dude with a split personality (which will be a movie in 2019), but a […]
Babam! Welcome to Flavor Town where the currency is flavor and everyone is rich! And no, I’m not talking about some crappy vape town where the air is thick with cotton candy flavored clouds and backwards hats, but a REAL flavor town, you know, like with food. Well, unfortunately, this isn’t a real place, but […]
Can you believe zombies are still a thing? Walking Dead is currently on its eighth season, Fear of the Walking Dead just wrapped up its third, and while the theaters are finally free from the zombie apocalypse, plenty of small companies are still pumping out movies and games and god knows what else. So what […]
As mentioned in my previous article about the cult hit anime Perfect Blue, there was once a strange and dark time where most anime fans didn’t seek a particular film or series; they merely stumbled upon them like a moth flying into a flame. And, much like Perfect Blue, some of the movies were less […]
