Thinking Outside The Long Box

There is a big shift in what is going on over in the DC world. With the end of a universe, and shifting to a new universe, a lot of things are new, and some things are old. We'll be talking about the old soon, but today we're talking about the new, in Blue Beetle! If this is any indication on what is to come then the new DC universe will be much more fun than what came before it! "Jaime Reyes sudd...

At the heart of our show, we are very much in love with comic books! That means that any time that we can speak with some awesome creators, we are definitely going to make it happen!

We have gone pretty far from where we started, when it comes to the Transformers, original film. Whether you've been along for the ride the whole time, or whether the 7th film is your starting point, which actually is possible, we hope that you'll stay! Transformers may not be for everyone, but with seven films, they're different enough for you to enjoy something from them! With that in mind, we'r...

Say what you will about whether or not you like any Guillermo Del Toro movie, but you can't take away from the fact that man is a genius at making a film look great. His films just have a different look and feel to them, and that usually means that above all else, they're at least going to be super artistic. You can see that shining through in today's episode, which happens to be Del Toro's first...

There have been many monster movies in the history of movies, but I do think that while there are many Vampire movies in existence, that Vampires are underrepresented. Yes, many of those Vampire movies are very popular, but I do believe that it's a genre of film that is lacking. Today's episode comes to you from the latest Vampire film, The Last Voyage of the Demeter! "The crew of the merchant shi...

October's spooky season continues with even more Insidious than the last episode!! BUT, because we are reviewing these episodes in order from their respective universe, and not chronological order, today's episode is all about the very first film in the series. It was aptly title, Insidious! "Parents (Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne) take drastic measures when it seems their new home is haunted and the...

Today's interview is exactly that! We had the chance to sit down and speak with Jason Lego, an artist, and his new project Sewer Boyz! "Ink & Drink Long Beach has plunged deep within the sewers of Southern Califor...

Sometimes we take a side step out of the "pop culture" world, and into a different world that we are interested in. Now, for all intents and purposes, this still might be pop culture, and like I said, is only a side step away from normality, but today's interview comes from the world of wrestling!! During San Diego Comic Con, you never know who is going to show up, and who you might run into! In t...

Much like anything, all things must come to an end! The end comes for books, tv shows, stories, movies, etc. No matter how good or bad something is, at some point in time it will end. Now, today especially, while we debate how good or bad this film/franchise is, we can't help but reflect on the franchise, as the next couple of movies mark the end of a franchise that has been on our screens for mor...

Our time at Fan Expo Denver wouldn't have been the same had we not met Maria the Wolf! She was an absolute pleasure to speak with, and her thoughts on the industry, and her career, were very refreshing! What is also refreshing is her art style. It's super different without being too far out of the bounds of the subject, and is crazy detail oriented! I liked it so much that I ended up having her do...

Not too many bigger celebrities, especially ones that have struck it big on the big screen, would take the risk on the smaller screen. Not only that, but take the risk on a TV show that happens to fall on the more silly side of the road. That doesn't mean that FUBAR is bad, at all, because silly, especially in this show, is good! Arnold attempted to take a fun swing, and it was definitely not a mi...

All the way from sunny California, our San Diego Comic Con adventure begins with an awesome interview about a pretty unique graphic novel.
