I return to you now at the turn of the tide.I'll just be updating this post over the next couple of days as I suspect there is going to be minimal interest in a comics and pop culture blog before Wednesday. Just check in now and then.FIRSTOh, dear. It appears that as friends go the Powell Group is definitely of the fair-weather variety. Powell has deleted any and all references to Sweet Baby Inc. from their website and...
Apparently so. I can’t really do a proper review of Agatha All Along because I didn’t watch the whole thing. Having learned more than I ever wanted to about Marvel TV’s storytelling I figured, (rightfully so as it turned out) that I could just skip everything between the premiere episode and the series finale because any and all in the middle would be utterly pointless filler. I was right by the way but it does mean I can not in all...
“Bowser is Bondage Daddy Sexy!”-Kim Belair: CEO and Co-founder of Sweet Baby Inc.That quote is from Kim Belair’s long-defunct (and as of today mostly erased) podcast, The Sexiest Podcast. It was one of several podcasts Belair was doing at the time. She was clearly throwing content at the wall to see what would stick. Sexiest Podcast completely failed to live up to its name.It was a podcast where Kim Belair and a friend discussed various things they wanted to have...

Paraphrase Conversation TruncationEldest Darkspawn: No, Dad they're being smart.Dark Herald: Putting Alien: Romulus out on something as completely obsolete as VHS is smart?Eldest Darkspawn: Analog Horror! You know, it's like analog energy. It's like giving horror. It slaps!Dark Herald: How does it... uh... slap?Eldest Dark: VHS is like our Gen Z thing.Dark Herald: I'm kind of sure it was a Gen X thing. I was there, at Blockbuster, most every Friday night.Eldest Dark Spawn: That is so...
Back in Doctor Who's heyday, the weekly numbers in Britain and America were huge. Big enough to lift BBC America into Tier 1 cable status, Tennant had emo girls throwing their panties at the TV, and the best episode of the year, the one everyone looked forward to, was the one that would be written by Steven Moffat.When Russel Davies decided that five years was enough, fans were worried about who was going to run the series. And then they...
She was on the set of It Takes a Thief when she got the bad news. Her backdoor pilot hadn’t been picked up. It wasn’t really a surprise. Laugh-in always buried that show in the ratings. It would have been her big break but, ah well, that’s show biz, she thought to herself. Teri Garr had no way to know that Star Trek had delivered her big break after all. Sad but expected bad news. The final curtain has fallen on...
We are currently living in a golden age of indie horror games. The last five years have seen an explosion in a genre that used to get one game a year back in the 1990s and one every three years during the double Os. Those AAA titles were good games, certainly better than what we get now from major studios but good horror? Well... Not so much really. They all had their moments to be sure. Clive Barker’s Undying was...
"[Undying]'s a dark fantasy with lots of levels, lots of realities in it. It's not horror in the sense of Hellraiser. It's horror which is very bloody, very graphic, with plenty of monsters, no question; but also a big adventure level in it. There is the sense, as you are visiting different dimensions and alien cities, that a monster in an alien city is a different thing than a monster sitting in your kitchen sink!” – Clive BarkerClive Barker started...
Well, it is the best of the Venom movies. I do have to give it that. Even if that is about the same as being the finest hockey player in Zimbabwe. It did have a few things going for it that the others didn’t. I can actually remember what happened during this movie. That’s new for Venom.Due to some arcane filmmaking technique known only to Sony Marvel. The previous Venom films stubbornly refuse to move from short-term memory register to...
