Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Venger & Dungeon Master
“You shall see who has the greater power.” As I continue revisiting my youth, I’ve collected all of the Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon Classics figures. The last figures that I picked up were Venger and Dungeon Master, who come in a two figure set. Even though they are the last figures that I’ve acquired inContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Venger & Dungeon Master”
Throwback Thursday: Legend (1985)
“What is light without dark?” Ridley Scott has directed some of the biggest feature films of all time including Alien, Gladiator, The Martian, Blade Runner, and Thelma & Louise. Most of his films have been financially successful, including those that failed to impress critics. One of the few films that Scott directed (and developed theContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Legend (1985)”
Cult Classic: Troll (1986)
“That’s my job, kiddo.” June Lockhart and Noah Hathaway team up to battle the evil Torok in 1986’s Troll. Opinions on the film range from it being one of the worst films ever made to being a cult classic. It’s a cult classic in my opinion, and there are plenty of reasons to watch it.Continue reading “Cult Classic: Troll (1986)”
Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)
“Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets.” Entirely over the top and insanely fun to boot, 1980’s Flash Gordon is loud, brightly colored, and completely bonkers. It features a stellar cast loaded with actors who are well known in the science fiction and fantasy genres and boasts a soundtrack written and performed by none other thanContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Flash Gordon (1980)”
Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)
“You’re not warriors. You’re pigs! You’re all pigs!” While the work of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg commanded most of my attention as a child, a third person who doesn’t get enough recognition from fandom in my opinion also took up a lot of my time. Ron Howard may not be one of the firstContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Willow (1988)”
Addictive Apples
Storybrooke, ME I’ve been all over the place with my nerd viewing in recent months. I’ve bounced around from The IT Crowd (which I love and recommend) to multiple rewatchings of Star Trek, Star Trek Voyager, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, to shows like Luke Cage and Robotech. My wife, who rarely becomes passionateContinue reading “Addictive Apples”
Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)
Lafayette, LA For a city that has been growing rapidly over the past few years, Lafayette has yet to attract a solid pop culture convention. Sure, there have been a few fan-run conventions, but they seem to be primarily focused on anime (LouisiAnime is a prime example). While there’s nothing wrong with having an anime-centricContinue reading “Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)”
Late To The Game
The Wonderful World Of Pop Culture Next year will be my fortieth spin around that big ball of flaming gas at the center of our solar system. That means that I’ve been a nerd for almost forty years. My passion for and dedication to certain imaginary universes throughout my life have burned bright for aContinue reading “Late To The Game”
