And now for something completely expected. Robert Iger's contract as the CEO of the Walt Disney Company has been extended through 2026. For those of you asking, "What the fuck?" I understand well your consternation but I saw this one coming a mile off. Yes, I understand. Bob Iger is the one that has put Disney in the disastrous position it's in today. He overpaid drastically for Fox Entertainment by a factor of 100%, he let Kevin Fiege dismantle the...
Yeah, Gunn is doing something weird. Fillion recently appeared in a walk-on cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol III. The Canadian actor is well known to genre fans starting with Firefly as Captain Mal Reynolds. He is best known to the normies as the mystery writer Castle. He has had one other role as a superhero, the cowardly, bullying, Alpha male Captain Hammer. I had noticed that Fillion had lost some of the pounds he'd gradually put on...
No, I did spell the title correctly. This game should be in a museum. It is a nearly perfect time capsule of turn-of-the-century teenage angst for a very specific kind of teenager. Slayers X is an attempt and apparently successful one for a 35-year-old Millennial to finish writing a game mod he started back when he was fifteen. Something Generation X doesn’t really get at a bone-deep level is that at one time we were the cool big brother. The Gen Xer was the guy with a...
Sound of Freedom is a great film that tackles an absolutely brutal subject. And let’s be clear I don’t mean it’s a great film by the standards of “Christian films,” It’s a great film period. Certainly, the best I’ve seen this year. Sound of Freedom starts with a Hispanic father taking his kids a boy and a girl to an audition. It looks legitimate enough. He’s instructed to leave and come back in a few hours, when he comes back, the apartment is empty...
Every word of that title is accurate. This is by the same team that brought you Netflix's She-Ra. They learned NOTHING. https://twitter.com/DCOfficial/status/1677029743005245440 Well, his wearing the red power panties again. I guess that's something? Discuss on Social Galactic
One of the biggest reasons that Manga has completely buried the American comic book industry is that American comics are extremely limited in its audience. The comic book guys are pretty much it. If you like superheroes or to be more accurate diverse and inclusive superheroes then the big two has got your back fam. However, in Japan if you like superheroes there's a manga for you. If you're a toddler there's a manga for you....
This piece has been on a backburner for a while. However, the OceanGate Incident has forced me to turn up the gas on it. At the tail end of the 1980s, right before the world would “wake up from history” and then roll over and go right back to sleep again, there was a flood (sorry) of deep-water horror movies. At the time we didn’t know why we were being drenched (I’ll try to control myself) with these things. Although now we know that...

This is it. This is all you are getting from me today.

Now go...
I was a very reluctant convert to the Church of Indy. I hadn’t seen Raiders of the Lost Ark for most of its original theatrical run. Sure, I knew that Lucas had written it, Spielberg had directed and neither of them had ever failed me… Yet. But it just didn’t interest me either. I saw the commercials and they looked something like the old Crash Corrigan serials that Channel 38 had strung together into an incredibly cheap Saturday morning movie. It didn’t look like the...
