Enchantress teleports by wrapping her cloud of bodily funk around her. Her…
The Agony Booth’s Bizarre Silver Age Comics series has been going on for ten years now (with some admittedly long gaps in there), and you may have noticed one thing every installment so far has in common: They’re all about…
Let’s take a closer look at the Twilight Zone movie itself before tackling the elephant in the room regarding this topic.
The prologue, directed by John Landis, sets the tone perfectly and would truly do Rod Serling proud. Burgess Meredith’s…
Previously on Suicide Squad: Government stooge (and three-time Detective Wyms Cosplay Contest runner-up) Amanda Waller wanted to protect America from a hypothetical terrorist threat by a Superman-type figure. To that end, she assembled a team of lame-o supervillains with…
If you’ve been following my recent Voyager recaps, you may have noticed I’ve been trying to spread the snark around a bit. So far, I’ve recapped a Neelix episode, a Tom Paris episode, a Janeway episode, and a Harry Kim…
Even before this day and age of seemingly endless reboots and reimaginings, the idea of remaking something for the big screen wasn’t (if you’ll pardon this) new. After all, classic series such as Batman, The Munsters, and Star …
Last time on Suicide Squad: The Wall got an idea.

The DC Expanded Universe: four cursed words if ever there were any.
The twelve hours that comprise the DCEU represent such a pathetically inept wall-to-wall pooch-screw that dunking on the franchise at this point seems almost mean, like laughing at…

Buckle your seatbelts, everyone! It’s the season finale of Riverdale and hopefully, we’ll gets answers to the real Archie’s Weird Mysteries that I want solved. At the very least, we should find out if Jughead is really dead after that…
