Masters of the Universe: Revelation is yet another attempt at remaking a popular 80s cartoon in an attempt to capture both today's children and their 40 something aged parents who grew up on it. Recently we've Voltron, She-Ra, and the most recent Transformers Netflix series (see what I thought about that here and here). And … Continue reading Review – Masters of the Universe: Revelation
RIP Ratings Talk
Our long national nightmare may finally be over. Ratings talk is on the run and may be over for good. Finally! What went from a weekly observation in 1996 to a justification for half baked takes in the 2000s to a toxic point scoring tool on Wednesday nights in 2020 may finally have breathed its … Continue reading RIP Ratings Talk
Review – Wandavision
WandaVision is the first foray into the streaming service world for Marvel Studios outside the purview of Netflix and under the leadership of Kevin Feige. And it could not have come a moment sooner given that COVID robbed us of an entire year of new material from the MCU. We were promised that this would … Continue reading Review – Wandavision
Transformers: War for Cybertron- Earthrise
After the first part of the Transformers: War for Cybertron series, Siege, I was chomping at the bit ready for the next installment. When we left off, Optimus Prime had taken a team of Autobots through the Space Bridge away from their home planet just as the bridge was being destroyed while another team led … Continue reading Transformers: War for Cybertron- Earthrise
The State of Star Wars
Us Star Wars fans find ourselves at a very interesting place at this point in time. Just a year ago it wasn't looking so great. The final film in the Skywalker saga landed with mixed reviews at best and the negative ones were way louder than all. The Rise of Skywalker, despite grossing over a … Continue reading The State of Star Wars
Review – Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
Am I seriously gonna review this?Well yes. That wasn't the original plan but then I saw some pretentious jerk on Twitter say it was awful and a sad attempt at salvaging public opinion for the sequel trilogy, etc. And I said to myself, what in the hell is wrong with these people? For real you're … Continue reading Review – Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
TV Review – Cobra Kai Season One
I'll admit that when Cobra Kai was announced I was beyond skeptical, I was downright opposed to it. It reeked of another cheap nostalgia trip being carried out by a couple of guys who weren't getting work anymore (Ralph Macchio and William Zabka) who were able to sucker some money guys into funding their project … Continue reading TV Review – Cobra Kai Season One
TV Review – Angel Season 1
This is out of left field considering what I normally cover here, but I took some time and checked out season 1 of Angel on Hulu. While I've seen pretty much every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer there is, I missed most of Angel and had been wanting to catch up for a while. … Continue reading TV Review – Angel Season 1
TV Series Review – The Punisher
The Punisher was postponed until November because of the Las Vegas shooting tragedy; the people in charge rightfully figured that releasing a show centered around a guy who shoots people at that time was a bad idea. So we got in November instead. I was reluctant to watch at first regardless because I've always found … Continue reading TV Series Review – The Punisher
TV Series Review – The Defenders
OK, I'm a few months late here but I finally got around to checking out The Defenders. I was going to watch it when it first dropped but then I started seeing all the mixed reviews/sentiments about it, and coming off of Iron Fist which a lot of people hated I figured it could wait. … Continue reading TV Series Review – The Defenders
