As I prepare to watch the last episode of Mandalorian of course!

I just gotta say, the Star Wars article might be the first one of these I’m not looking forward to. I find Tom and this column absolutely brilliant, and he may even surprise me with what he has to say. But I’ve just seen SO many Star Wars think pieces over the years - and a lot more recently due to Rise of…

I’m surprised nobody’s brought up Inhumanoids. Cthulu stand-ins, skeletal undead nightmares capable of creating instant zombies, and a bizarre sense of satire and parody, mixed with typical Sunbow G.I. Joe style cliffhanging heroics. There really was nothing else like it on at the time, animated OR live-action.…

I would really love to see a Walking Dead version of this, but, I think it would just be like a regular episode of Walking Dead.

“There’s No Place Like Springfield”. A masterpiece of 80s animated television if ever there were one. And don’t forget “Worlds Without End”, when a group of Joes stuck in a parallel universe stumble across THEIR OWN ROTTED CORPSES! Amazing some of this stuff got past the era’s notoriously conservative censors.

“I’m done with you. Back to your cats.” is definitely going into my regular vernacular.

Dustin bringing up the original 1984 My Little Pony special as a perfect example of nerddom was dead-on. As a 6 year old boy I was not the intended audience for this brand but damned if I didn’t find this surprisingly well-animated (thank you, Toei) “girls’ cartoon featuring cute little ponies turned into…

Honestly, I’ve been going through the deep cut tracks from Erotica in my head, and you could just put that whole album as some sort of bonus choice. There’s not a single song on there that isn't either catchy, hypnotic, or unusually risk-taking. Very underrated in my book. (Rain might be the only one I'm iffy about,…

There was NEVER an episode of Ninja Turtles where Raph abandoned Leo in the Technodrome! Not in ANY of the 10 seasons’ worth of 193 episodes! (At least not in the classic ‘87 series. Which I’m sure had to be Jake’s main point of reference, considering his age.)

I find it highly interesting that an episode about everyday people being hurt during titanic battles between super beings is called "Man of Steel".

I’m actually not one of those “X-Men movies suck” people (tbh, I find that attitude quite tiresome), but this just does not look great. It looks like they’re making the same mistakes here that eventually ended up sinking The Last Stand. (And almost the whole franchise!) Oh well. I guess the best adaptation of this…

What about Beverly Crusher sleeping with her dead grandma’s ghost lover in Next Generation episode "Sub Rosa"? Or does that not count because it was explained away with scientific gobbledygook? (Something about an alien parasite that lives on plasma, I think.)

In terms of the comment about there not being personal attempts at superhero movies from directors, I’d argue that Josh Frank’s Fantastic Four film was the epitome of that, and the less said about that mess, the better. It’s great to put one's stamp on these movies, sure, but you cant just use beloved characters to…

Go on this very thread about Solo. The highest rated comments are everybody but you, "Pimp".

I wrote this months ago on Facebook, but I think it bears repeating here:

Yeah but what this article fails to mention is that THAT scene is only the mid-credits stinger and the ACTUAL post-credits stinger, with the ant playing the drums, IS your typical inconsequential “Captain America PSA/schwarma/Howard the Duck” end gag. Which I was fully expecting. Apparently the audience I saw it with…

Between Don’t Look Now, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Day of the Locust, I’ve realized it’s best not to get too attached to Donald Sutherland in any 70s movie.

Does the death of Antie in Honey I Shrunk the Kids count as manipulative and unearned? Cause that freaking ruined 11 year old me. I don’t know. I feel like you could go either way on that one.

Pretty sure that poster was drawn by Ghost Rider legend Mark Texeira. And yes it is great.

Ive always considered this one an underrated gem. The non-stop action that almost fills up the whole last hour was basically a pre-cursour to the big action spectacles that have dominated the 80s on up, and the romance was genuinely touching. In fact, this movie raises that action bar so high that the it kinda sours…
