Sometimes, movie trailers just speak to you. Regardless of if you’re the demographic a film is going for, or if it’s even the sort of movie you don’t normally go for, a good trailer can tick all the right boxes to get you interested in a film. Such was the case with Nerve, a film … Continue reading
Look, let’s not mince words on this one: Ben-Hur is an atrocity of a video game, a garbage attempt to build hype for the upcoming movie by slapping together the quickest, dirtiest collection of assets into a barely playable chunk. There’s less content in this title than in most game demos; it’s generous to even … Continue reading
Well, Suicide Squad has finally been released upon the world, and while you can check out Kevin’s written review or our podcast roundtable for our thoughts, I think it goes without saying that the response is, at best, mixed. However, whatever else there is to say about the movie, there’s no denying that it goes … Continue reading
So, fun fact, this is one of the few Smallville episodes I can remember seeing, and may well be the first time I ever saw the series. Other than that? Well… “Cool” wasn’t the most thrilling hour of television. It’s an episode that continues the show’s trend towards the more generic freak-of-the-week focus that defines … Continue reading
Originally published on 6/20/14 As made clear by the full review posted a few weeks ago, I recently finished playing through Zero-Time Dilemma. Despite my mixed feelings on the game, I still found myself in a marathon, late-night play session, one that led me to the same thought I have every time I finish a … Continue reading
Expanding a short film into a full-length feature is a tricky proposition. What works over the course of a few minutes can just as easily fall apart when given an hour-and-a-half runtime. As such, I remained cautiously optimistic about David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out, despite how much I enjoyed his 2013 short film of the … Continue reading
So far, Smallville has done a good job of giving me something to latch on to in each episode, but the closest I found to compelling material in “X-Ray” was the appearance of an actress who would eventually have a career, Lizzy Caplan, in the role of antagonist Tina Greer. It’s not that this was … Continue reading
This article was originally published on 2/6/14 As longtime listeners of the podcast know well at this point, Kelsey and I have a lot of fun poking fun at Rich’s continued avoidance of Mass Effect 3. Really, though, any gamer worth their salt has played a sequel so disappointing that they find it hard to … Continue reading
In the fall of 2012, following the conclusion of the Avengers vs. X-Men event, Marvel took a new approach to their publishing line. Called Marvel Now, the new initiative saw the entire line-up at Marvel shift, with almost every book being headlined by a new creative team and relaunched with new first issues. It was … Continue reading
Back in 2014, Netflix premiered a very bizarre TV show: BoJack Horseman. Despite a mixed response to the early part of the first season, the show quickly won over many of the detractors who made it through to the season finale. What started out seeming like a goofy show set in an over-the-top Hollywood setting … Continue reading
