The Movie Backlog
While I said in yesterday's post that I was going to start posting weekly updates instead of individual reviews (with some notable exceptions), I have noticed that my biggest backlog in reviews is in movies. I keep logging them into Letterboxd but have little to no opinions on them. Okay, I have opinions, but like …
When It’s Time to Change, You’ve Got to Rearrange
I was looking at the post-it note that I use to keep track of my monthly consumption (as it is) and realized that while things have slowed a little bit this month because I've gone back to work, I still have been steadily working my way through the piles and the lists. But I haven't …

Starslayer #1-3
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to find the remaining issues of Starslayer anywhere, and if I did, i was only expecting to find issue #10, which is the only First Comics issue I'm missing. Heck, I'd even resigned myself to having to go buy digital copies of the "remastered" original miniseries if …
Personal Archaeology 13: voices outside
So if you go listen to the latest episode of Pop Culture Affidavit, you'll get to hear me and Michael Bailey talk about Pump Up the Volume. It's a film that I consider to be one of the seminal films of my generation, and watching it for the first time in a number of years …

As always, let’s get started with the numbers … Media consumed # (remaining/total)Physical Comics Read: 14 (12/399)Digital Comics Read: 0 (500/538)Trade Paperbacks/Graphic Novels Read: 3 (17/91)Books Read: 0 (121/167)Movies Watched: 9 (107/137)TV Shows Completed: 0 (36/38)Podcast Episodes Remaining: 138 So I finally put a little bit of a dent in the podcasts, mainly because I binged a couple of limited series that I had been holding onto for a …
Otherworld #1-7
Just as she steps to the mic at a dingy L.A. club, Sibohan is suddenly in terrible pain and she and her friends find themselves being attacked by cybernetic creatures while also being given powers and potentially saved by a sorceress. Such is the inciting incident of Otherworld, the creator-owned Veritgo book written and penciled …
Demolition Man #3
The early 1990s were an odd time for Sylvester Stallone movies. The Rocky and Rambo franchises had ended but he was still in that "bankable action star" phase where he could thrown his weight around Hollywood, and even ventured into restaurant franchising (Planet Hollywood still exists but is not as huge as it used to …
OMAC by John Byrne #1-3
I have to admit that Jack Kirby's DC work is a bit of a blind spot for me. I've read a little bit here and there via one-off reprints or a story being collected in a trade paperback collection like The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told, but most of my encounters with Fourth World, Kamandi, …
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (DC Comics Adaptation)
If there's a movie that's at the bottom of my rankings for the original crew films, it's definitely Star Trek V. Directed by William Shatner and coming a few years after the mega success of The Voyage Home, it's a mess of a picture that leans a little too much into its jokeiness and doesn't …
