Lets get back to comics. If you didn’t check the Afterthoughts last week, I put together a monster list of scary movies to fill your October. We’ve been running spooky beats on the show already this month, so this week I’m going to put up some of my favorite comics that fit in with the…

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.

We have the Fix for your scary movie needs I love horror movies. The genre probably ties with sci-fi on my must-watch lists, and this week I am here to throw a huge list of my favorite Halloween flicks your way. Not every scary movie fits the Spooktober vibe for me, and this also isn’t…

I asked what could be worse than Thanos. What If… has answered. Around the time What If started, and possibly before that, I asked out loud where Marvel was going to go after the Infinity Saga. What could possibly top a threat like that!? The problem of escalation is one that Marvel is still going…

Short show, short afterthoughts! The Thursday pre-recording schedule strikes again! Nintendo Direct was huge after we had already made the show, so here is a link to the details if you haven’t seen them already. N64 games on the Switch, FINALLY! Sega games too! I’m still hoping they bring the Gameboy (Color) collection in as…

Sorry Shang-Chi, for pronouncing it Shang-Chi instead of Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi isn’t off to a great start. I wish that weren’t the case, but as I said on the show, it is what it is. There are no “great” options right now, and Disney is opting to go theater-only for the rest of 2021. I’m sure…

The future is coming. Will movie companies be ready when it arrives? If you missed last weeks post, I lamented how little the film industry seems to have learned and changed from the last 18-month long ass kicking that they have gotten. Things may not even be great this fall and winter, and 2 years…

The theatrical Worst Year Ever heads into month 19 Damn, we’re in September already? Time flies when not a whole lot of new movies are coming out, right? I missed that, along with the Top Gun delay, Mission Impossible 7 got pushed back with it. I can’t imagine it will be the last, as I’ve…

The theater industry may never be the same The way things are going with scheduled movies for the fall of 2021 already, I genuinely believe we are going to see another theater shakeup later this year. It may not come in the form of government mandates like in 2020, but with full authorization of the…

The pitfalls of prerecording So as any regular listener will probably have figured out by now, we have been prerecording the show since around March of 2020. I’m sure you can guess why. It’s been both a boon and a curse. It gives Vic and I the flexibility to record generally around our own schedules…

Keep those keys! While cybersecurity isn’t my day job, it is something that I have been interested in since I was old enough for the Internet to exist and if you couldn’t tell already from the last 10 minutes or so of today’s show it is also something I am pretty passionate about. It’s obviously…
