Greetings nerds! I know I keep praising the entity that is Netflix; but there is a very good reason why, considering they have taken entertainment to an entirely new level. From bringing to life some of Marvel’s best characters, to various outstanding original series and movies, Netflix has created its own popular niche in the…
We truly live in extraordinary times. We have went from the beginnings of comics as a form of entertainment in print form with the first Action Comics, to rivaling studios delivering characters that not only became household names, but entrenched itself into our very cultural landscape. As with comics, TV and Movies have always been…
If you’re like most people, you eeped with joy at the trailers of Stranger Things: Season Two. Especially if, like most people, you found yourself binge-watching season one when it was released on Netflix (or some other random, ‘totally legal’, site – that’s your business). And just for the record, you can check out our…
In the not too distant future from where it last left off, and somewhere called Netflix in time and space, Mystery Science Theater 3000 has officially returned! The snarky, movie-riffing, semi-serious (at best) series created by Joel Hodgson back in 1988 saw its original 10-season run from 1988-1999 across multiple networks, and had perhaps one of…
Science. It spurs the imagination when combined with fiction, its innovations have given humanity everything from microwave popcorn, microwave ovens that cook said popcorn, and cheese-in-a-can, to the smartphones we use, televisions we watch, and the rocketry that flies astronauts into space. At the forefront of modern science education is a mild-mannered, bowtie-laden scientist known…

The series stars Finn Jones (of Game of Thrones) as the titular character, Jessica Henwick (also of Game of Thrones) as Colleen Wing, Jessica Stroup (of The Following), Tom…
To begin with, I must say that it is very difficult to properly review A Series of Unfortunate Events. The latest addition to the already-impressive roster of Netflix Originals, which here in this moment means that, like all series on the world’s most popular streaming service, is currently available in its entirety, has made itself…
Marvel’s Luke Cage premiered on September 28th, 2016, the third in a series of shows that began with Jessica Jones (check out our latest review of that here) and Daredevil (and our latest review of that one here) and will conclude with Iron Fist prior to the Marvel’s Defenders miniseries. The show, created by Cheo…
E.T. meets Scanners/Altered States meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets Goonies meets Silent Hill, all with the John Carpenter soundtrack from Escape From New York or The Thing… In the simplest terms, this is how best I can find (which still doesn’t quite explain it) to define Netflix’s latest original series Stranger Things.…
This month we are going to look at Comixology’s brand new service: Comixology Unlimited. It was launch on May 24th and is the equivalent of a Netflix service (or I think possibly more of an Amazon Prime service) for digital comics. The service currently offers a free 30 day trial and after that it is…
