Jump City I know that a lot of people (or at least a vocal minority) dislike the Teen Titans Go! animated series on Cartoon Network. They blame it for destroying the extremely exceptional Teen Titans cartoon and even Young Justice even though I believe that Cartoon Network itself should be blamed for the cancellation ofContinue reading “Teen Titans Go!

Throwback Thursday: Degrassi High
Toronto, Ontario, 1980 Something Growing up in rural Louisiana in the 80’s/90’s meant that cable television was a wild dream and the local ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS affiliates were my primary viewing options. As a teenager, most of the characters that I was given to identify with came packaged in comedies like Saved ByContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Degrassi High”
Outpost: San Antonio, TX
Remember The Alamo! My family and I took a quick trip to San Antonio, TX a few weeks ago and, as always, the place didn’t disappoint us at all. We arrived late in the afternoon but had enough time to venture to the Alamo, where Texian and Tejano soldiers and numerous volunteers from the UnitedContinue reading “Outpost: San Antonio, TX”
Throwback Thursday: Godzilla (1998)
Twenty Years Ago Today’s edition of Throwback Thursday may not necessarily be a good memory for some of my readers. It features an infamous version of a beloved kaiju that was meant to be a tentpole franchise for TriStar Pictures.

DC Impresses At SDCC
Positive Positive is a word that hasn’t been used very much when talking about the DCEU. With Justice League failing to attract large audiences last year (despite actually being a decent film) and BvS and Suicide Squad underwhelming critics, DC’s lone shining star in recent years at the movies was Wonder Woman. But news outContinue reading “DC Impresses At SDCC”
Throwback Thursday: Blade
The Daywalker Before Black Panther‘s rise as a significant film in Marvel and cinematic history for its success and cultural impact and before Deadpool was erroneously declared the first R-rated superhero film, 1998’s Blade gave us an African American lead based on a superhero and a strong R-rating (But even Blade wasn’t the first R-ratedContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Blade”

Despite a solid track list that included How Much Love and Love is a Killer, the album failedContinue reading “Tunes: Vixen Is Back!”
