Thursday WHO’S WHO: Quislet

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

TWENTY REASONS WHY QUISLET IS AWESOME 1.) He is a tiny alien in a tiny spaceship 2.) Who talks like Yoda if Yoda had gotten himself totally buzzed on like seven dozen espressos beforehand 3.) Or possibly like Spongebob Squarepants, again with the seven dozen espressos 4.) Or most accurately, a combination of Spongebob Squarepants […]

As usual, your hosts are Nigel, Mary, Shankman, and the empty chair labeled “Paula Abdul.” (Nigel continues to be the only person in the world who thinks Paula Abdul would add anything to this show.) New stage: still sucks. Russell and Noelle: hip-hop. Obviously a difficult routine (fast hip-hop, plus using props in unison? Ow), […]

Take standard fantasy tropes, add green minotaurs, shake

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write Dr. Strange

Rintrah’s death was a bad one – both in the actual nature of the death (it looked rather unpleasant) and in the writing of it. Those unfamiliar with Strange’s most recent disciple (who was a friendly big green minotaur from another dimension, which is par for the course when it comes to the life of […]

Hollywood ruins everything

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

Exhibit A: the poster for Pirate Radio. First, consider the original poster for The Boat That Rocked, when it was released in Britain with its original (superior) title. This is a pretty clever poster. Obviously, it’s a reference to the cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road, but smartly combined with the walking-off-a-plank motif which both […]

Friday the 13th: What’s it all about, Jason?

Posted by Justin Zyduck Published in Film/TV

Every year around Halloween, I rent a bunch of horror movies from the 70s and 80s and watch them over a couple of days. Typically, this includes at least one Friday the 13th movie, and this year was no exception. It’s my favorite horror series, and I’m not always sure why. Largely nostalgia, I suppose; […]

Hola, amigos! It is once again that time of the week where I, El Tyrano Magnifico, the greatest of all luchador lawyers, will read and examine your pleas and questions with the detail demanded of a true champion. Much as the time I fought El Hijo del Santo in a Five-Way Mexican Dance of Death, […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Major Force

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Serious question: does anybody actually like Major Force? I mean, yes, I get he’s a villain, but everybody has their favorite villains. Mine is Lex Luthor. Lots of people love the Joker or Dr. Doom. And there’s always going to be one or two holdouts for the lesser lights, somebody who really loves the Gambler […]

People talk about Golden Age Wonder Woman panels being disturbing, but really, those are nothing. This just makes me feel unclean. (from Dixie Dugan #2)

Your guest judge is an empty chair with “Paula Abdul” on it. The new stage sucks. There’s no voting this week. HOW MANY MORE WAYS CAN THEY FIND TO BE WRONG? Channing and Philip: jive. This was mediocre leaning towards bad, particularly in the case of Philip, who frankly should be better at jive: he […]
