I'm sure that I will have a lot more to say or write about V via Pop Culture Affidavit at some point in the future because while I didn't watch all of it when it first came on in 1983 (at six, I was definitely too young), I did watch parts of V: The Final Battle when it first …

Bettie Page Reveals All!
In my quest to find free entertainment via my public library, I discovered the movie streaming service called Kanopy, which seems to have its fair share of really great foreign and independent films as well as documentaries. Or at least that seems to be what I've been gravitating toward when I have added things to …
Timewalker #3, 4
Since I'm part of the "comic book circle of life", Professor Alan sent me these two Valiant books. And since it's Professor Alan, he sent them with the challenge of "Uncollect These!" Challenge accepted, sir. The publication date on these is 1994 (with an early 1995 cover date), so we are definitely in the "bust" …
Blood Sisters
So New Jersey has a pretty good track record when it comes to independent, low-budget movies and when I saw someone on social media link to this very random low budget horror flick from 1987 released by Cannon, I was intrigued. I mean, I love a good shitty horror movie and Cannon=boobs, so ... good, …
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Sitting somewhere in a mental queue and eventually knocked off of my Hulu list, We Need to Talk About Kevin is a movie that I was always interested in watching but at the same time didn't exactly want to see because of my job as a high school teacher. I guess that's why it took me four …
Starslayer #24-26
After leaving the city of Parallax that was at "the beginning of time," the Jolly Roger heads back to Cynosure, which they're now considering home even though it's still an incredibly dangerous place. When they return in issue #25, it seems like Ariosto, who was killed in the castle heist storyline a few issues ago, …
Starslayer #21-23
With Morrigan, the death goddess who kind of looks like someone the X-Men would have taken on around this time, shows up in issue #20, Torin wakes from his coma to tell everyone that she lives, one of those "THIS IS IMPORTANT!" moments that a show can throw your way. Is it? I'm not entirely …
Starslayer #19, 20
So I mentioned a few reviews ago that it's clear that John Ostrander was establishing a new status quo for Starslayer. But unlike the many times I have seen this done in comics and on television, there wasn't one issue where the supporting cast was jettisoned in favor of a new group of sidekicks and a …
Starslayer #18
You notice two things about Starslayer #18 right away: it's a full-length story that teams our heroes up with Grimjack (who is about to get his own book) and it's printed on better paper, which if it isn't Baxter paper is pretty close. The price hadn't changed, though. We open with Torin at the prison and going …
Grimjack: Buried Past
So this isn't a "keep, sell, donate, or trash" type of comic because a couple of issues into John Ostrander's run on Starslayer, First was publishing backup stories featuring his and Tim Truman's creation Grimjack. This isn't anything new to the comic--as I noted, issue #2 of the Pacific Comics series is going to prove to …
