    This is such an incredibly good documentary, it’s an absolute must-see if you grew up watching Cannon films in the 80s. It’s an absolute blast from the past, and it’s quite fascinating to find out just who the people behind all these movies were. Can’t recommend this enough.

    I recently wrote about how much I enjoyed getting into Southern Bastards, and so as I impatiently wait for a new issue to come out, I decided to go back and read Jason Aaron’s Scalped, a crime series that takes place in and around a Native American Reservation. I remember reading it back when it…

    Finally got around to watching this, and yeah, it’s pretty good. I can see that the story would be better told in book form, as you could really get into the main character’s head, but what I saw was pretty entertaining, even if it felt a bit too over-the-top – the whole rescue bit at…

    When you get into this game, you GET into this game. I’m only 6 hours in, and am still feeling myself around the various (and admittedly expansive) systems, and learning to appreciate the depth that’s on display here. What I do already know is that I so love being in this world, and exploring the…

    A cyberpunk graphic text adventure game? Sounds good to me. I just started playing it, and I’m already digging the story and atmosphere. I’m still only about an hour in, but I like that I’m investigating a mystery, and I’m really curious to see where this is all going to go. You can grab it…

    As with everyone else on the planet, I was such a huge fan of the first season of Serial, and couldn’t wait for the second season to start. After listening to just the first two episodes though, I was already ready to step away. It just didn’t grab me at all the way the first…

    I watched the first two seasons of this a while back (when I was still in Japan), and recently decided to jump back in with season 3, and I gotta say that I’m really enjoying it, much more than I remembered. I’m sure it’s in part because of my current enthusiasm for all things Star…

    I used to really like this show, but then stopped following it by the end of season 5 for no special reason. This past year I’ve been watching season 6 on Netflix, episodes here and there, and then last night finished off the season by watching the last 4-5 in a row. I gotta say…

    I’m aware of Bill Burr, having seen him on talk shows and the like, but I’m not really familiar with his style of comedy, so didn’t know what to expect from this new animated series that he created for Netflix. It debuted the other day, and I watched the first episode, and I liked it.…

    I mentioned earlier this year how I keep checking in on new sci-fi shows, hoping to finally get something that I really want to watch, and so far I keep getting disappointed after a couple of episodes. My latest attempt at watching a new sci-fi series is The Expanse, which at least has the pedigree…
