Don't ask me why I decided to pin a bunch of ghost stories to my Kanopy watch list, but it seems like I've got horror on my mind. Maybe it's because of the way the world is going to complete shit this year and I need to see something that feeds my current pain or …

Into the Forest
Sometime in the near future, society is devastated by a cataclysmic event, one that causes a massive power outage throughout the country. Living in this society are Nell, Eva, and their father, who prior to the event moved to a house in the middle of a secluded forest. Eva (played by Evan Rachel Wood) is …
Arak, Son of Thunder #11-20, 29, 32-34, 37-39, 43
So in the interest of "zeroing out" my unread comics (because that "longbox of the unread" could be moved to a shortbox ... if I had the shortbox), I've decided to continue with reading the incomplete runs of series that I own, then deciding if I want to finish collecting the entire thing. Which, yes, …

Podcasts About Cults
So in my entry yesterday, I mentioned that I have a fascination with stories about cults, but didn't find the documentary The End of the World Cult to be that fascinating. Sure, it was interesting, but it was very "by the numbers." I don't think that I needed Jonestown-type footage to make it interesting; I think what …
The End of the World Cult
I've always been fascinated by cults. No, I'm not joining one. Calm down. So I've always been fascinated by cults and recently fell down a rabbit hole of podcasts about them (a review to come later, but I will tell you that Generation Cult, IndoctriNation, and the Waco season of American Scandal are really great), …
The Essential X-Men Vol. 3 and Vol. 4
With John Byrne off the title after the "Days of Future Past" storyline, Chris Claremont begins what will be a long continuous run of writing the X-Men with a rotating lineup of artists with these two volumes featuring the return of Dave Cockrum as well as Paul Smith's short tenure as artist and the first …
V: The Comic Book #1-4, 7, 8, 10, 17
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, …
