It’s very weird that in a very aimless miniseries there’s this incredibly strong two issue subplot about Jason Todd as Robin.

As ever, Jason Todd did nothing wrong. @newt5996.bsky.social and I continue our coverage of Trinity: Daughter of #WonderWoman on the latest Fresh-Faced One Shot! youtu.be/OtxIjze5I_0

The Green Mile (1999) - Is it a fantastic film? Yes. Is it one of King's most problematic stories? Very probably. Does it understand the problems inherent in the prison system like The Shawshank Redemption did? Kind of. I think. Did I love it? Yes. boxd.it/bUXMbL

Christmas: Unholy Night by: Noga Flaishon: Big Finish’s Christmas anthology opens with a parody of Hallmark Christmas movies and it’s a shallow parody. Flaishon doesn’t have really anything to say about the genre, even having one character pay lip service to the true meaning of Christmas but that

Other Lives by: Gary Hopkins: Not perfect but I really do love this one. It’s a pure historical through and through basically taking the premise of Black Orchid (a story I hate) and ramping it up to 11 with doubles for the Doctor, Charley, and C’rizz, plus the Duke of Wellington, C’rizz being sold

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

I’m glad that DC and Marvel are continuing these crossovers and the DC half of this year’s boasts Grant Morrison being Grant Morrison.

Morrison is Morrisoning again. @newt5996.bsky.social and I continue our coverage of the DC/Marvel crossovers with #Batman #Deadpool on the latest Fresh-Faced One Shot! youtu.be/tFWva08wnu4

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) - There’s a power imbalance and it feels like it’s coming from a man’s perspective more than it is. boxd.it/bUpyGx

Singularity by: James Swallow: There’s a reason this one isn’t talked about much and that’s because it’s one of those stories that suffers from just being fine and a little bit too long. Swallow is playing around with some interesting ideas, the singularity as a concept is great though not really

it's advent you know what that means

The latest episode of Fresh-Faced Comics is out where @jomoblooddonut.bsky.social, myself, and guests @thegd256.bsky.social and @chelsseashells.bsky.social continue our look at Alias, this time with how Brian Michael Bendis tackles American small town bigotry.

And I thought I loved Daredevil... The latest episode of Fresh-Faced Comics is here, in which @newt5996.bsky.social, @thegd256.bsky.social, @chelsseashells.bsky.social, and I discuss them second volume of #JessicaJones Alias! Available anywhere you listen to podcasts! :) linktr.ee/jomoblooddon...

Fight Club (1999) - Oh so there's the bedrock of the alt-right misinterpreting a farce. boxd.it/bTFh9z

Every issue I read of Jason Aaron’s Thor run just makes me hate Taika Waititi’s interpretation more and more.

One day #StarTrek The Next Generation won't be sexist towards Troi and its other female characters. This is The Price: jacoblickliderreviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Worf gotta be the realest hater in all of Star Trek. @hezoriszid.bsky.social and I continue our #StarTrek journey today with 'The Enemy'! youtu.be/3AyweY3HO7M

About Time (2013) - A romcom that revels in the ordinary and the human. boxd.it/bSdZJ7

Top Gun: Maverick (2022) - Blows the original out of the water but does not play as well at home. boxd.it/bRyFqx

Top Gun (1986) - Not anything amazing but it’s shot gorgeously and Tom Cruise is fantastic. boxd.it/bRtVWJ

A Knight’s Tale (2001) - A goofy, anachronistic film I guess adapted from Chaucer. boxd.it/bQxpQX

ICYMI: I read the #DoctorWho book with the bald Doctor and Jo on the cover.

Tom King is back in a lull for me with the current arc of #WonderWoman having things to say about conformity but also stretching itself thin.

The final showdown! (I think) @newt5996.bsky.social and I continue our coverage of #WonderWoman on the latest Fresh-Faced One Shot! youtu.be/ys6pl23j8No

The Usual Suspects (1995) - Would be a masterpiece under a different director but it's still pretty good as it is (though without the twist as a surprise it doesn't work as well either) boxd.it/bPId5N

The Suns of Caresh despite writing the Doctor and Jo as a bit generic has a lot of really interesting ideas for a #DoctorWho novel: jacoblickliderreviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Scaredy Cat by: Will Shindler: 73 minutes somehow feels padded for whatever this story is and yet there isn’t actually anything here. The most interesting idea is the genetic memory of a planet, but also the villain here is a stereotype and several ableist tropes rolled into one. Everyone sounds

Causeway: One of the strongest recent Big Finish box sets. Both stories focus in on what makes Lady Audacity Montague tick as a character and pushes her specifically to a limit without making this feel like it should be an ending for the character. That doesn’t mean the other regulars are shafted

The Time You Never Had by: Tim Foley: This one was a lot. Often it’s quite melancholic, the first half building a plot around humanity trying to develop time travel after a time ship had crashed to Earth, knowing quite a bit about who the Doctor is, and trying to stop him, Audacity, and Charley all

Lost Amongst the Stars by: Rochana Patel: The latest Eighth Doctor set opens with a horror story that feels empty, and I mean that in a good way. This one nearly sees Audacity die and be pushed to her absolute limit and while the ending has her survive and a monologue about how she and Charley are

Lionesses in Winter by: Lisa McMullin: This one for me is the strongest Thirteenth Doctor audio so far. A lot of that is because Lisa McMullin really goes for a story about dysfunctional relationships, the inability to communicate, and how the Thirteenth Doctor really hates endings. She parallels

Doctor Who: The Ark in Space (1975) - Putting Hinchcliffe and Holmes in charge of Doctor Who immediately impacts with some of the wittiest dialogue and performances of the shows history. boxd.it/bOxC9z

Bernice Summerfield: The Dalek Eternity 3 by: Sophia McDougall and Tim Foley: This one is actually solid all the way through. Tim Foley’s second episode comes across as just a bit silly for me, it’s about the nephew of Mavic Chen in a parody of Doctor Who fans. It’s not a bad parody but it is just

The Enemy is an episode that sets up a new status quo for #StarTrek in so many ways and yet isn’t talked about as one of the best of The Next Generation: jacoblickliderreviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Of course Gail Simone brings back the Outliers and it is fantastic and implies some interesting things going forward. It also means Unbreakable X-Men is even better in its second issue than the already fantastic first.

The most recent taste in my mouth is a very specific type of bad anti-racism film, we really should just forget the Titans. #LastFourWatched

Remember the Titans (2000) - Better left forgotten among other we ended racism movies. boxd.it/bMGQc3

Tonight Fresh-Faced Comics (and guests @thegd256.bsky.social and @chelsseashells.bsky.social) will be recording our second episode covering Alias with the second volume Come Home! Get your comments/questions/opinions in below!

TONIGHT: @newt5996.bsky.social and I, with returning guests @thegd256.bsky.social and @chelsseashells.bsky.social, are recording the next episode of Fresh-Faced Comics, talking about volume 2 of #JessicaJones Alias! Send any questions or comments below and we'll discuss them on the podcast! :)

Dark Star (1974) - Even student filmmaker John Carpenter has a lot of his own class. boxd.it/bLrGNJ

Halloween: Sea Smoke and Other Stories: Not a bad story in the lot. Highlighting different writers and directors is a particular strength of the set. Each episode plays on a different type of horror story which is particularly nice and avoids the issues of 1 hour Doctor Who stories because of how

Halloween: Merlin’s Trap by: Hannah Kennedy: Disaster lesbians the sequel. Okay not really, but this is a horror tragedy of a group of friends going down into caves apparently belonging to Merlin. Things begin going oddly as their friendships unravel and they start being picked off one by one in a

Good Will Hunting (1997) - Robin Williams was one of the best to ever do it. boxd.it/bKT44D

The Sandlot (1993) - Stand By Me without any of the charm or bite and added baseball. boxd.it/bKMRtN

Halloween: Bramble King by: Noga Flaishon: I don’t know what exactly took me so long to get around to this one because it was pretty fun. Flaishon is trying to play around with what makes a person a person in something that reads like an alien ghost story mixed with a classic fairy tale which is

It’s nice to see a fairly hefty run in the Marvel universe not be a typical superhero book. On this week’s Fresh-Faced Comics @jomoblooddonut.bsky.social, guests @thegd256.bsky.social and @chelsseashells.bsky.social, and I discuss the first nine issues of Alias by Brian Michael Bendis.

A book about well-adjusted people. The latest episode of Fresh-Faced Comics is here, in which @newt5996.bsky.social, @thegd256.bsky.social, @chelsseashells.bsky.social, and I discuss #JessicaJones Alias Volume 1! Available anywhere you listen to podcasts! :) linktr.ee/jomoblooddon...

Doctor Who: Robot (1975) - Tom Baker immediately shines an elevates a story that’s otherwise just fine. boxd.it/bJKQKv

Once again I'm a day late on this but this week's #StarTrek is Booby Trap, an episode with a perfectly well done A-plot and a B-plot that is basically 1980s romance tropes which haven't aged great: jacoblickliderreviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/boob...
