“I’m an idiot. I don’t deserve these powers.” As a fan of Captain Marvel/Shazam from way back, I really enjoyed 2019’s Shazam! film.

Just Say The Word Some superheroes are instantly recognized by most members of society.

Marvel At This?
1995 When Iron Man got the MCU ball rolling over ten years ago, it was the first and last big risk that Marvel took on the big screen. Since that time, the films have been released at calculated times with specific intent and they’ve all been financially profitable. While characters such as Captain America andContinue reading “Marvel At This?”

Calcasieu Serial Fest: Chapter Four!
The 1940’s I’ve been a fan of classic serials for pretty much my entire life. I remember watching classic movies from the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s on Sunday afternoons after going to the Calcasieu River with my family. We would get home in time to watch a series on our local PBS affiliate. I believeContinue reading “Calcasieu Serial Fest: Chapter Four!”
