Nerds with Words: Spider-Man Themes

This should be a fun one, I hope. But what Nerd discussions aren’t? This one is simple enough, Spider-man has a storied career in comics, but an even more storied one in animation (and one really weird live action show) with something like half a dozen shows span more than 40 years. Unlike Superman and …

Bar Banter: Metropolis Police Department

This is a response of sorts to Edietel’s Article on the same topic. As a huge fan of Gotham Central, I would LOVE to see the story/universe return, but barring that I would like to see DC examine the concept for one of its other big characters. On a personal level, I would love to …

Manvice: Installment 2

Nobody cares about how much time you spent gelling your hair, chief. Nobody cares how many Tapout shirts you own, or how many times you pop your collar in a week. The correct number is 0, unless you’re putting on a tie. Nobody cares what band you support, or what era you endorse via your …

Nostalgia with a Twist: TaleSpin

I won’t try and make up any excuses here, life happens and the project got sidelined just a tad. As you can probably guess, it is no longer a Disney Afternoon week so let’s call it Disney Afternoon August! A positive spin is always good for the soul. Pretending there wasn’t a few weeks long …

Bar Banter: Fast Food

Watch out, World. Here comes your thighs, ass, lovehandles and fourth chin. It all started one greasy morning when one fat guy said to another “You know what would be great on top of this piece of chicken, and below another piece of chicken? Some bacon and cheese.” And someone looked him square in the …
