Read MoreReview: Twende – Season 1
By Dustin Cabeal
To review Twende is to first admit that I did not watch Twende on the streaming service Showmax which produced the thirteen episodes that make up the first season. I have however become obsessed with Showmax’s programming and originals and hope that they soon find themselves stream outside of the forty-four African countries they currently stream in. This is all just a way for me to say the internet is a wonderful place in which you can find things from other countries and watch them, but I have no way of legal way of recommending Twende to you and there in lies the rub. Because I desperately want more of this show, my children want more of this show.
I will save you the marketing breakdown, a simple search of the show’s name will bring that up over and over and out of some form of giving back I will link to the show’s page here. Twende is the character’s name, his best friend and navigation bird’s name is Nuru, and they drive a motorbike taxi, but in reality, it breaks from that instantly. That is one of the best things about the show, while this is the first season, it is so polished and familiar that it comes across like a third or fourth.
The first episode barely establishes what the characters do as one of the drivers for the company is preparing for a stunt jump and our main character Twende must step in for them because their allergies are too much. No one is picked up by taxi… both company’s drivers are training for the stunt, and this is never annoying or disappointing.

Read MoreReview: Karate Prom
By Dustin Cabeal
Having been a fan of Kyle Stark since Sex Castle an original graphic novel published by Image Comics; I have loosely followed about anything Kyle Starks has made. Style and humor are something that resonates with me as a reader and the places Starks takes stories to be original, interesting, and always very humorous. It is hard to find consistent writers in comics that are funny and that produce consistently funny works. That is not to say that they can never do anything other than comedic writing, but finding someone who is willing and does produce consistently funny things is a creative catch. It is something that makes you want to follow that creator more.
Seeing the words “karate” and “prom,” by Kyle Starks instantly filled me with anticipation and joy for this new graphic novel, from First Second. At its core it is shooting for a younger audience. This is not a book that is necessarily reaching out and grabbing 40-year-olds and saying read me you will find infinite amount of humor and relatable references. Instead, it is more of a story/graphic novel for tweens and teenagers. Young readers. That is the prime demographic of First Second.
Read MoreReview: Gods’ Games We Play – Episode 2
By Dustin Cabeal
Usually, I save my reviews for the podcast, that's Let's Anime, but Gods’ Games We Play episode two frustrated and pissed me off so much that not only did I already vent to my co-host Lindsay for at least one-half an hour, but now here I am writing this goddamn review.
The second episode picks up where the first episode left off, which is at the beginning of God's Go hide and seek. In which a giant Titan is smashing a city. We have a group of players, and we are about to explain the rules, even though it seems like the game has already begun when they yelled, “Gods Go Hide and seek.” Instead, one asshole interrupts this little weird floating God turd thing and is like, “statistically this should be a versus God game.” To which the little floating God turd thing goes, “Yeah, no. We’re suddenly bored with doing that.” I mean, you just introduced the concept and the stats for that, but no, we're not going to do that. That's pointless. In fact, we don't even know why we talked about it. We hired someone to say that line just so we could say no. A character and their role on the team was introduced to the story, just for a floating God turd to say, “You’re wrong and now useless to the story.”
