Let's Movie - Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom
We're back! The holiday's wrecked us and let's be honest the movies stuck like a fish out of water. Speaking of stinky movies, we're going to talk about Aquaman 2: Birth of Aqualad or whatever the fuck this movie is called. It's the end of the old DCEU or the DCU... DC Comics really shitty movie line because they let Zack Snyder make too many music videos and pissed away all their potential. Attach your snorkel tightly and get ready for the golden showers that is Aquaman 2: The Deuce is Loose!
Let's Movie: Godzilla - Minus One
Welcome, welcome! On this episode we're talking about the Toho release Godzilla Minus One, but there will be plenty of talk about the American Godzilla movies and Kaiju films in general. If you haven't seen the movie, there are lots of spoilers so make sure you see it during its limited release.
Let's Movie 135 - The Portable Door
135 - Welcome back to Let's Movie. This week we've found a movie flying under the radar in the form of The Portable Door! A movie based on a book that was bought up by Sky and MGM+. One of us loved it, one of us, not so much! And don't forget to vote in the poll.
Let's Movie 134 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
134 - Welcome, welcome! Join Dustin and Justin as they run through the new TMNT movie from Seth Rogan and Nickelodeon Films. You'll want to watch the film first or if you have zero interest in ever seeing it, we might just convince you to give it a shot because much like the other TMNT movies this one is all about family... no wait, ninjas... no, it's about living with a suffocating parent that's disconnected from reality. Just kidding, it's an hour and a half origin story for Splinter!
Let's Movie 133 - Bullet Train
133 - Welcome, welcome to the return of Let's Movie! Join hosts Justin and Dustin as they put too much "ustin" into the movie Bullet Train! Is it new? No, did you already watch it on your Red Eye flight? Probably. But did you read the 500-page book right before watching the movie like Justin did? I doubt it. Let's set off some fireworks and howl like a wolf for the newest episode of Let's Movie!
The Place That's Farthest From: 'Andor' and the Star Wars Legacy
The key component to longevity and the near-universal appeal of the Star Wars franchise has always been its simplicity. A student of international artistic influence, George Lucas distilled richer, headier works down to a pastiche of oblique references and mythological constants and a critical focusing by undersung contributors Brian De Palma and Marcia Lucas resulted in a tight, perfectly-accessible adventure film that seismically redefined how popular media was packaged and presented. Beyond simply being a defining achievement in special effects, the polished gleam of binary morality at its core stood in as a radical contrast to the storytelling environment of the 1970s with its grim post-Vietnam ambiguity and despair. 'Star Wars' was the Happy Meal waiting to happen. Its hero plucky and apolitical, motivated by primal narrative impulses of thirst for adventure and romance beyond his station, his opposition unsubtlely dressed by John Mollo by way of Hugo Boss in Gestapo uniforms, pop narrative shorthand later reused by Lucas and Spielberg in their Indiana Jones films. Only a few decades removed from the very real Third Reich, Lucas needed little world building to immediately communicate the partisan lines the audience would be asked to sympathize on. Some distant conception of a Galactic Senate is mentioned to be finally dismantled. An instantaneous Holocaust is bloodlessly committed.
Review: My Monster Boyfriend
By Justin Wood
As a select few of you may remember, I haven't had the best of luck with anthologies as a critic on this site. Often produced cheaply with freely obtained content from enthusiastic artists who see the unpaid labor as simply being 'part of the hustle.' Frequently your indie anthology is a disposably printed black and white magazine packed in with not-quite-there art and cliché choked flashbang stories by writers not yet sophisticated enough to be compelling in a compressed storytelling space.
Review: Little Tulip
By Justin Wood
Earlier this year, I took to opportunity to see Martin Scorsese's Silence before it hit its wide release. The film, about a priest secretly infiltrating the Christian-persecuting country of Tokugawa-era Japan and enduring unfathomable torment and hardship for his choice, is, to say the least, an endurance test of misery, a beautiful film but a grueling experience. Dover Comic's new release Little Tulip, is similarly a grueling experience.
Review: NPCs #1: The Inventor
By Dustin Cabeal
Full disclosure I know Justin Wood quite well. We’ve never meet in person, but we converse, and he’s the creator of our logo, the review banners and writer of reviews on many occasions. That said, you’re probably wondering how the fuck I can objectively review NPCs if that’s the case.
Review: Kimot Ren #1
By Justin Wood
Cowboys and Aliens. Where have I heard that one before? Snidery aside, there is obviously room for more than one take on such an idea, especially one so rife with potential beyond the obvious. Kinot Ren has a clunky name, a likable cover, and what looks like a decent artist behind the wheel, but exactly how well does this series develop the concept of Out West meets Outer Space?
