X-Men ‘97 continues to be great, especially if you have the brain bugs necessary to hoot and holler at accurate references to comics from over three decades ago, some of which aren’t even from X books. They are laying down the tracks for some even crazier ‘90s X-stories to be adapted

Mamdani wants to make it easier for consumers to cancel gym memberships and magazine subscriptions…so, just like Trump’s authoritarian overreach.

Maddie’s Secret is excellent, a campy indie comedy that has so much more beneath the surface. John Early did an incredible job, worth seeing his post-screening Q&A at SIFF Uptown

A lovely afternoon in Seattle, time to stay indoors with a movie (Maddie’s Secret with Director Q&A)

Lmao sick, I just got laid off from GameSpot while on paid medical leave recovering from a gunshot wound.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

If you haven't yet bought my critically-acclaimed smash hit book Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA, the good folks at @orbooks.bsky.social are currently selling it (and all their books) for 30% off orbooks.com/catalog/ed-w...

She joins Jim Steinman in operatic rock heaven. Even when so many movies/TV shows/commercials overuse “Holding Out for a Hero,” its perfection as a song never diminishes

probably my favorite Retronauts i’ve put together this year? and somehow this was uncharted territory for our podcast!

Missing my brilliant friend and mad comedic genius Trevor Moore all the time. Four years gone - I still remember his wily voice, his wild laugh, his loping gait. And so many cosmic laughs.

Could be us

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

Caught up with the first three episodes of X-Men ‘97 season 2. Continually impressed with the deep comics lore they keep putting in, so many bits of ‘90s history added for us sickos. And, no spoilers, two guest voices in the third episode were excellent casting choices for ‘90s nerds

Game Pass will go down as one of the most destructive programs in gaming history. “Netflix for video games” bought up dozens of huge studios that are now screwed, the value of an individual game heavily damaged, countless unseen negative effects to come. And no consequences for the execs who ran it

We explore the grandaddies of video game novelty music, Buckner & Garcia. I think their best song is the Wreck-It Ralph one, while “Do The Donkey Kong” overwhelms you with too many dance instructions

At the end of the new trailer for a third Angry Birds movie, there’s a massive list of celebrity voices that fly by. It’s meant to quickly overwhelm you so you don’t even perceive separate names or identities. It’s a shotgun blast of fame that will surely give you someone recognizable

This looks neat and gives me hope for a continuation of my favorite from Visions, the Aardman short “I Am Your Mother.” A touching story of a racer that also had Denis Lawson back to voice Wedge Antilles. The Scottish actor arguably has the most Aardman-style voice in the entire Star Wars series

1,000 days of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. 1,000 days of genocidal complicity. 1,000 days of escalating BDS pressure. Boycott, divest and sanction. Until Israel’s genocide ends. Until Palestine is free.

Hell yeah!

Countdown to VP Harris start campaigning on “Actually, it *is* currently a genocide in Gaza and it became one at some point after January 2025.” Anyway, sounds about two years too late to listen to the Palestinian voices the DNC silenced on the way to the loss protesters warned Harris about

A lot of people (accurately) point out that premium video games are cheaper today than they were 30 years ago thanks to inflation, but discussed less often is how much bigger the margins are for game companies now that sales are 80-90% (soon to be 100%) digital. No more retail or packaging costs!

So the $1200 PlayStation 6 won’t even play discs, huh?
