CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: comics are important and we should think of them as a part of a balanced literary diet

The #StereoGeeks @louisskye77.bsky.social and @monitamohan.bsky.social were at the @mississaugalib Comic Expo, meeting local creatives, attending workshops, and checking out new games. We ended the day with a sketch duel, where Mon won Alicia Phen's sketch! An excellent 10th anniversary, #MCX.

Being forced to use AI at my job has immunized me against AI psychosis because the best defense to being impressed by AI is actually using it for things that are not fun since the piece of shit only works half the time

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

Oct 21st 2015 - Doc, Marty & Jennifer arrived in 2015 to prevent Marty McFly Jr. from getting arrested. 📽️📅 Back to the Future Part II (1989)

If you think you’ve seen #Hamlet, you haven’t seen anything yet. Aneil Karia’s new Hamlet, starring Riz Ahmed, is a new reimagining of Shakespeare’s play. I watched the film at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025. Full review at FlickSided. #TIFF25

This Disability Employment Awareness Month, I'm going to judge companies that are aggressively rolling back work from home.

Was Dead Man’s Wire entertaining? Absolutely. The crowd at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival hollered and applauded. But the crux of the story was lost in the humour and the ending didn’t land for me. Full review at FlickSided. #TIFF25

The job of a sesame bagel is to drop sesame seeds everywhere.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I thoroughly enjoyed James McAvoy’s directorial debut, California Schemin’, at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Wildly entertaining, with a message that resonated with me. Full review at FlickSided. #TIFF25

Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones on the set of "Battle at the Binary Stars", STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)

The new Cillian Murphy film at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival has an incredible first half. Realistic, relevant, and engaging. But the second half? Not so much. Full review at FlickSided. #TIFF25 flicksided.com/tiff-2025-st...

Almost forgot to post.

The first of my 2025 Toronto International Film Festival reviews is up. The Man in My Basement has a chilling concept, but ends up being a by-the-numbers horror film. Full review over at FlickSided. #TIFF25

I reviewed the Canadian drama Little Lorraine for our podcast, @stereogeekspodcast.bluesky.com. The Nova Scotia-based film debuted at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Fascinating true story, but the film was a bit too long. Listen to the review.

In this #StereoGeeks special, @louisskye77.bsky.social reviews the animated film Scarlet at Toronto International Film Festival 2025. Listen now. buff.ly/P6twVC4

On one hand this is obviously a perfect job for her, and I genuinely think it's a good idea. On the other hand, I can't imagine us doing this for Palestine, or anyone outside of Europe.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival is underway! The Stereo Geeks have a slew of films to review. Special review episodes coming soon! #TIFF25

Sep 1st 1885 - Doc Brown, trapped in the past, wrote a letter to Marty explaining what had happened when the DeLorean was struck by lightning and where he had hidden the car. 📽️📅 Back to the Future Part III (1990)

The #StereoGeeks were back at @fanexpocanada.bsky.social, spending time with fellow geeks, catching celebrity panels, and buying more art than we have wall space for. Join @louisskye77.bsky.social and @monitamohan.bsky.social as they recap their experiences. Listen now buff.ly/P6twVC4

From the prequels to the sequels. Got to see #JohnBoyega at @fanexpocanada.bsky.social 2025, where he talked about #StarWars, starting his production company, and how he uses his voice and platform to make change. Read the recap at FlickSided. flicksided.com/fan-expo-can...

It's been over 20 years since #EwanMcGregor stepped into the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in #StarWars. I got to hear the Jedi Master himself share tales from the prequel saga, and what keeps him coming back for more lightsaber battles at @FanExpoCanada.bsky.social 2025. flicksided.com/fan-expo-can...

No, you're not seeing things — that really does seem to be #DoctorWho's TARDIS in the background of this week's #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds, parked on the ship's port nacelle while inside the scavenger ship (seen in multiple shots)

The #StereoGeeks couldn’t be happier about the return of #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds. Join @louisskye77.bsky.social and @monitamohan.bsky.social as they boldly go into a spoiler-filled review of the first 5 episodes of season 3. Listen at: buff.ly/bUKORaj

We really can't congratulate ourselves until the people we're helping feel helped. Like, this is a *start*, but it is IMPERATIVE that Israel be forced to open Gaza to real, legitimate aid.

Israel has killed a lot more than 60,000 Palestinians.

The line has never been clearer regarding JK Rowling imo. No more “I don’t agree with her views, but…” She is explicitly wielding her cultural capital AND her actual capital to dehumanize and take rights away from trans people. Giving her IP any air means contributing to this goal.

Despite now having the benefit of hindsight on the climate crisis (so far), we're still just letting this happen. Insane. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/t...

The long-awaited #TheFantasticFour First Steps is in cinemas right now and the #StereoGeeks have thoughts! While @louisskye77.bsky.social and @monitamohan.bsky.social enjoyed the film, they did have differing opinions. Listen to our latest episode for the full review. buff.ly/lKCzT1M

"Just get a Patreon" they said Look, I don't even have time to write the books and stories I would need to have out in the world to garner the sort of readership/following that might translate to anything resembling a viable Patreon. You think I have time to "generate content" for another platform?

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, it's an excellent film, and some journalism nerdery as well.

The #StereoGeeks have been waiting five years for @netflix.com's #TheOldGuard2. Now its finally here. What did @louisskye77.bsky.social and @monitamohan.bsky.social think about returning to the story and these characters? Listen to find out. buff.ly/nKXgIIz
