Screw your Blew-Ray Player, VHS is alive and well… but should I really be hipping you to this, or should I be hording all the info in fear of increased competition? Of course I’ll let you in on it (not like anyone reads this anyway) and what better way to see the medium strive than [...]

Wooo Captain! That is one sweet jacket!
Early on Mother’s Day this kid comes in and tells me he found this jacket at a thrift store for 15 bucks… with The Enterprise already painted on the back! What luck.
Concrete is back baby!
Fact: Paul Chadwick’s Concrete is one of my favorite comics. Fiction: Buying Dark Horse Presents #1 (which features an all new COLOR Concrete story) will make you as cool as me. O.K. so it may not make you as cool as me, but it is packed from cover to cover with amazing comicy stuff by [...]

Godzilla vs Caligula
What a week for insanely violent comic madness. It’s as if Satan himself came up from hell and packed our shelves with his favorite stuff. Avatar publishing has been at the top of their gruesome game with releases like Crossed, Garth Ennis’ take on the zombie genre, and Alan Moore’s Cthulhu-rape masterpiece, Neonomicon. If that’s [...]
Matt D on Junk Food Dinner
This past Sunday I had the pleasure of being a guest on my favorite cult movie podcast, Junk Food Dinner! I know I’ve been talking about them a lot lately, but they’re great guys and I really support their cause. I brought Psychos In Love (which I also recently talked about, get used to it) [...]

Outpost 31
Last Halloween, I sewed an Outpost 31 patch on my wintercoat and made believe that I was R.J. MacReady from John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror masterpiece The Thing. The other guy is my buddy, James, dressed as ol’ Jack Burton from Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China. We’re Big Kurt Russell fans! This winter I [...]
Mosquito
Millions of years of evolution have just become mankind’s worst nightmare. While on a trip to a video store that has decided to close its doors after nearly 25 years in the business, I finally found a VHS copy of the 1994 Gary Jones‘ giant killer insect flick Mosquito, and about 80 other tapes for that matter. [...]

Have ya heard the one about Bill Murray at a Bears playoff game? A Song of Ice and Fire comics coming from Dynamite and Bantam. Man this is gonna suck, OR, All [...]
