I am one half of the Rochester NY radio show The Fix, where I give my thoughts, opinions and judgements on nerd culture and new and old pop media.

Prepare for a new generation of digital bootlegging On today’s show we got a bit into the topic of digital piracy. Without going into the morality and legality of it, the plain truth is that people have always bootlegged media and they always will. I had some more thoughts on what my picture of the…

How Cyberpunk 2077 broke the Returnal spell I wouldn’t call myself a “hardcore” gamer, but I’m no noob either. I’ve been playing since the early 90s, but have generally missed the competitive FPS scene entirely. I’ve always been drawn to slower-paced strategy games, where I can take my time between moves. It’s no surprise that…

The more I think about NFTs, the more annoyed I get I’ve been ranting about NFTs for 2 weeks now, and while this revelation may not surprise everyone (I have always said I can be slow to a conclusion), the more I think about the state of NFTs now, the clearer it becomes: NFTs are…

A tale of two Ghostbusters movies So, the more I thought about the similarities between 1984 Ghostbusters and the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife the more annoyed I got by it. So annoyed I decided to start a list of how similar they are. STOP NOW IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE MOVIE YET AND CARE ABOUT SPOILERS…

Where can Cage even go from here? When you have as long and as storied of a career as Nicolas Cage and you end up starring as yourself in your latest big-picture project, where do you even go after that? Somewhere to pay your bills, is my guess. When your financial history includes two castles,…

What CAN’T you do with a multiverse? Where do you think Eternals falls, MCU theme-wise? Is it a Guardians-style “cosmic” movie, or will it be a more Captain Marvel “empowered terrestrial” form? Or maybe more magic-leaning “Loki”, or even something completely new? Only time will tell. Naturally Disney had to make me look bad yet…

How bad could it be? On today’s show we were inspired by the movie-that-never-was, Superman Lives. Spurred by the thought of Nicholas Cage playing Clark Kent, we went on to come up with the most cursed late-90s Justice League movie we could think of. Our lineup includes: Superman – Nicholas Cage Batman – Michael Keaton…

Enough about me, what do YOU want? This week we ran off a big list of upcoming shows we are excited about, but I wanted to turn things around and see what the people are thinking. You know I have my fingers crossed for Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop, which of the shows coming out before the…

How many brooding, expansive shots is one too many? Arrakis. Dune. This is the largest “scale” movie I have seen in a long, long time that doesn’t have giant monsters in it. I just hope that people who aren’t familiar with the story going in will be able to hang on the 2 years it…
