I like to believe I’m someone with a healthy dose of nostalgia and by healthy, I mean even the slightest thing can set me off down a nostalgia wormhole. The X-Files is coming back you say? Well, I should look for my old VHS box sets and not watch them because who owns a VCR anymore. Oh man, this song makes me think of college. … Continue reading The Issue With Unsolved Mysteries
The Matrix 4 has puzzled me ever since it was announced a few months ago. I was content living in a world where there were only had three Matrix films. One that was superb, another that was ambitious, and a third that saw the neutering of Morpheus and… well, it was an ending. It’s funny, when I was in college I loved the Matrix films. … Continue reading Do We Need A Fourth Matrix?
Why is it so difficult to write about the new Star Wars films?! In a perfect world, I would come here and start breaking down my thoughts of the movie discussing what worked, what didn’t work, and what has me excited for the future of the franchise. Yet, life within the Star Wars fandom is less than perfect. In fact, the levels of toxicity are … Continue reading Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker- Your Feelings Are the Only Ones That Matter
Geeklings, I know that this is the part where I swoop in all full of energy and wish you a happy Monday. You know the intro, it borderlines almost over-enthusiastic that might bring a response like “yeah, I guess I’m hyped too but take it down a notch, will ya”. But instead of that intro I just wanted to take a moment and say thank … Continue reading Week In Geek- Trailer Extravaganza
There was a time, only a few short months ago, where I came here pondering if my Star Wars fandom was broken. Like Luke watching the two suns of Tatooine set, I pondered what would come next for me within this fandom. Was I just tired of a franchise that has meant such a great deal to me? Was I even excited for Episode IX … Continue reading Star Wars Episode IX- Taking One Last Look At My Friends
When I was a kid there were few things that mattered more than He-Man. If I’m speaking honestly it was probably superheroes, Spider-Man (a class all of his own), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and He-Man. I think He-Man might be the first action figure I can remember playing with… that and Star Wars. But man, I was obsessed. I had all of them from Prince … Continue reading I Have the Power… Of Nostalgia
That’s not just the heat that has you short of breath, sweating in weird areas, and thinking that you were a victim of The Snap when you walk outside (sorry, I’m not calling it The Blip). No, a lot of that fire that you’re feeling is coming from San Diego as Day Three of SDCC brought the fire, the heat, and any other hot analogies … Continue reading SDCC Day 3- The Watchmen, Picard Returns, & Marvel’s Big Night
Geeklings, as alluded to on Monday’s Week In Geek, the most wonderful time of the year has arrived. San Diego Comic-Con is here and with it comes an avalanche of pop culture news. Prepare to be crushed under the weight of new trailers, announcements, surprise guests, and so much more.

Recently I was talking with a friend and we were discussing our favorite television shows and did what most people do in discussions like that… we created a list. A top five if you will. At the time I was moderately happy with my selections even though something about it kind of rankled me. You know the feeling, like when something is out of place … Continue reading Stranger Things Season 3 Review- Just Like Coming Home
