Thundercats RoarA while back...sometime during COVID, if I remember correctly. I started to watch it back then, but my original reaction to it was "WTF?!"  I admit that I was expecting more of a repetition or modern reimagining  of the original Thundercats (the 2011 version wasn't that bad), and what we got was...not that!The core idea is the same...their planet exploded, they crashland on

The Americans[spoilers] Last month I finally finished The Americans. I had started watching this back in 2017 (ish?) but after the first season I fell off. I've been meaning to return to finish it, and I finally binged it this past summer.  The series is spy thriller set during the Cold War. Our main characters are  Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, Russian spies who were trained in Western-style

A while back, I came across another forgotten 90s era TV series, Robocop! This was a one-season series, Canadian-made, which really felt a lot like the first Robocop movie. The small interludes and news commentary from OCP-sponsored television shows really captured the dystopian capitalistic and consumeristic culture portrayed by Verhoven's Robocop.The pilot episode runs two hours, and was adapted

I finished this a month or so ago, but decided to jot down a couple of thoughts before this totally escapes me.  As I am going through a wrestling phase again (what am I? I teenager? jeez...), I came across this show on Netflix.The story starts 1985 LA. Ruth Wilder is a struggling actress who auditions for a wrestling circuit called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). She and GLOW's director

 Recently I binged the first three seasons of What If, so I thought I'd write a few short thoughts on it. The premise of the story is that there are  Watchers who sit outside of space and time, and they are observers of the multiverse. So...what if Agent Carter took the Supersoldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers.  What if there were zombies? (this was interesting) What if the Avengers

 Last week Paramount released the Section 31 (made for TV) movie, set in the Star Trek Universe. As a fan of Trek I watched it, so here are a few thoughts, along with spoilers.  Don't claim you weren't forewarned ;-)There's a lot of hate about this film online, even before it dropped on Paramount+.  The familiar chorus of "It's not Star Trek" or "This isn't Star Trek, where's the optimism"

 2024 was a very Wrestling year.  I came across a few documentaries and docuseries on Netflix about the WWE (aka WWF when I was a kid), and this kind of kickstarted my interest in watching additional content with this kind of theme. Once I finished the various documentaries, I started watching Heels, which follows two brothers who have inherited a small-town wrestling circuit, the Duffy Wrestling

Another quick binge near the end of 2024. This one is Agatha All Along, on Disney+. The idea behind this series is that three years after being trapped under a magical spell in the town of Westview, New Jersey (at the end of WandaVision), the witch Agatha Harkness escapes with the help of a mysterious teenager who wishes to face the trials of the legendary Witches' Road. Without her magical powers,

Catching up on writring a little bit about TV and video games I watched (or played) this past year... To kick it off, I thought I'd write a little bit about Motherland: Fort Salem.  For October I meant to watch themed movies and shows (you know, horror and witchy stuff), but I only managed to binge this series 🙃. I finished it just before Halloween so I was within my self-imposed time frame

Well, it's that time of year! This is the time of year that many social media services use your data to create a Year In Review for the things you did on their platform. My cynical side is thinking that this is one of those "hey! pay attention to this, and not what else we do with your data" but I'll take it...I guess!I've been thinking about moving away from GoodReads over this past year, something
