‘American Horror Story’ and Me
I have a rocky relationship with American Horror Story. So, as the mysterious new story gears up for its debut, allow me to recount my generalized thoughts on the past five seasons. The good, the bad, the Jessica Lange.

Franchise Friday: ‘Porky’s’
The Franchise Friday tradition lives on! And the 2016 season opener begins with the 80s sex comedy “classics”: Porky’s, Porky’s II: The Next Day, and Porky’s Revenge. You’re excited, aren’t you? Each week, we’ll pose a different question pertaining to the movie. Simple question, short answer. Let’s get to it! May 6, 2016: Porky’s (1981) Is Porky’s just… Read More ›
Six Comics I Want Back!
SIX COMICS I WANT BACK! Last month saw the return of a comic character I never thought I’d see again: Grizzly Shark. Back in 2010, Image published a 48-page black-and-white one-shot called Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark (they got mixed up!). Ryan Ottley did Grizzly Shark and Jason Howard did Sea Bear. And a couple Wednesdays… Read More ›
‘Deathgasm’ and Me
When I was in seventh grade, circa 1990/1991, I was just a dude with long, scraggly hair, black stonewashed jeans, wire-framed glasses often held together by paperclips, Bart Simpson “Eat My Shorts” t-shirts and a love of what I referred to as metal. In retrospect, it’s easy to see why that year was not that… Read More ›
First Impressions: ‘Scream Queens’
Before diving into Scream Queens, let me just say that we have a spotty past with Ryan Murphy. The first few seasons of Glee were actually pretty delightful. And, as of right now, we’re 50/50 with American Horror Story — seasons one and three were good (although Coven‘s ending was incredibly disappointing); we watched only three episodes of Asylum before falling off; and then there’s Freakshow,… Read More ›
First Impressions: ‘Fear the Walking Dead’
We watched the Fear the Walking Dead premiere last night and — truth be told — it was exactly what I thought it would be. Maybe even a little better considering the mixed reactions the show’s been getting. For those complaining that there wasn’t enough “action,” I beg to differ. It was book-ended with your zombie… Read More ›
Franchise Friday: ‘Rocky’
It’s Franchise Friday featuring Rocky movies! Let’s get to it. June 19, 2015: Rocky (1976) Q. This was a first-watch for Johnny and a second-watch for Joanna (though, it’s been years). So, based on our fuzzy, limited knowledge/memory of Rocky, what was your primary takeaway from the movie? Joanna: Sylvester Stallone kind of owned my heart in Rocky. It’s been probably 10 or… Read More ›
