Pulp Masterpieces, Part 6: The Mummy (1999)
One of the reasons pulps were so popular was how they could transport a reader to exotic lands without ever leaving their living room or subway train or wherever it was they were reading the magazine. People were inspired to…

Pulp Masterpieces, Part 5: The Rocketeer (1991)
Back in my Sky Captain article, I briefly spoke about the world of the ’30s and its fascination with aviation, how there were barnstormers and record breakers, and how there were pulp heroes that reflected America’s love affair with pilots.…
Pulp Masterpieces, Part 4: The Phantom (1996)
Quite often when a genre or medium dies out, it doesn’t die right away…
…usually. The pulps didn’t die out overnight; during the 1940s, they slowly lost their popularity, and by the ’50s, pulps were largely a memory. But as…
Pulp Masterpieces, Part 3: The Maltese Falcon (1941)
There was a pulp magazine published in the ’20s and ’30s called Black Mask. With a name like that, you might be thinking it was a “saucy pulp” delivering racy content, but in reality when it first got started,…
Pulp Masterpieces, Part 2: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
During the ’20s and ’30s there was a near worldwide fascination with aviation. In the United States, after the Great War, there was a phenomena known as “barnstorming”, where veteran pilots would tour the country selling rides in their aircraft…
Pulp Masterpieces, Part 1: The Shadow (1994)
I love the Pulp era. I’m talking about a hardboiled detective looking for a blackbird statue, or a husband/wife team sleuthing it with a precocious dog. I’m talking about a guy taking to the skies with a rocket strapped to…

Zero Effect (1998): a pre-Sherlockian masterpiece
I was left with the realization that beyond all the “clever” dialogue and manic pace, Sherlock simply is not as good as people think. In fact, Zero Effect did it better in every way.
Moon Zero Two (1969): a recap (part 10 of 10)
The movie does take place in 2021; it’s not too late to start making jump suits and boots a thing. And plastic plaid jackets. Can’t forget those.
Moon Zero Two (1969): a recap (part 9 of 10)
When we last left Bill and Clementine, Lithuania suffered a major setback in their plot to annex the Moon, but it left the Moon Bug shot to hell. Bill opted to use the “bugdozer” instead, but it only has enough charge for a 150-mile trip, and it’s 200 miles to Farside Five. Fortunately, the bugdozer is built to go over mountains, so it’s time to find a shortcut. The pair head out...
