Sitting on my living room floor, playing Atari and listening to my brother's Oh No, It's DEVO! LP is probably my most explosively joyous childhood memory. To this day that album beams me right back to 1982.

Yeah, I've never loved the "lead character"-ification of Wolverine. You need a Cyclops to make Wolverine seem cool by comparison!
We all love Spike, for example, but they never killed off Buffy and made him the star. He wasn't built for that, and neither is Wolverine.

Wait — let me put on the helmet. How 'bout now?

So now it's OK to use "as per usual" right in a headline? It's the "irregardless" of the 2010s.

And all those things you said about the beautiful title track are true, Todd, but you neglected to mention that it's also a reference to the bitchin' old DC Comics team of adventurers.

While I'd say that Challengers is only their second-best album (twincinemaforthewinalwaysandforever), I appreciate the recognition that it got an oddly unfair dismissal on its release. I really love it, and I just had to shrug when I would see people seeming to reject it at the time. I chalked it up to just being one…

Yeah, that's what I'm always saying too. If a contestant is immune to elimination no matter how inedible their dish might be, how can we arrive at the end of the season still pretending that the "meritocracy" angle is worth a damn?

Back To School: Marked For Death
Rover Dangerfield: Out For Justice
Meet Wally Sparks: The Glimmer Man

The remarkable thing is that it's both a hilarious grindhouse gore-fest and at the same time one of the highest-quality fan-film remakes I've ever seen. Until things go totally absurd, they really managed to re-create the original shockingly well.

Kimberly McArthur! One of the all-time greats. See also (perhaps especially) Young Doctors In Love.

Yeah, the "lucky bastard" guy, and his delivery in particular, always struck me as much funnier than the alien interlude itself. And then the chase immediately resumes, which provides another big laugh. The spaceship scene was necessary to get to these laughs, of course.

Coming Soon:

Easy Money: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

So wait — they made a movie called Easy Money, which is already the name of a Rodney Dangerfield movie, and then they made a sequel, Easy Money: Hard To Kill, which slaps on the title of a Steven Seagal movie?
Is this just pure balls? Are they trolling us?

Those ARE pretty good choices… but that's aiming a little high for TV. I realize we're living in the True Detective age, but that's a LOT more "gritty" than any adaptation of Anansi Boys would be.

Yeah, Shadow is a real blank. I get that he's written that way on purpose, but ultimately I thought it was to the book's detriment that the main character is only there to observe more interesting characters, and never becomes interesting himself. That can work, but this is a story that winds up asking you to believe…

I think the awesomeness of that little window from 89 to 91, when "college rock" was indescribably awesome but hadn't yet exploded into "alternative" (a term nobody ever used before 91) gets overlooked. So many of my all-time favs are from that era.

When describing Odyssey, it's tempting to focus on the caveman-Batman, or the dinosaurs, or Bruce the Naked Narrator. But those things are actually its virtues. What makes Odyssey so crazy, as you've begun to see, is that it makes no sense at all on a panel-by-panel basis. There are so many sequences where you can…

What is it about these acclaimed icons of comicdom that turns so many of them into cranky crackpots?

He should be GLAD Smith didn't read Odyssey.
