Time for Terror

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Nathan

Here’s a rundown of all the movies we watched this October (well, except for Halloween Kills), all horror-adjacent, but not necessarily all horror films per se. A lot of them turned out to be horror comedies, which wasn’t really intentional. … Continue reading →

Drag Out the Dickens

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Nathan

Koopas Behind the Curtain

Posted on November 22, 2018 by Nathan

This article I read this week discusses the idea of Mario and company being essentially actors in different scenarios, as per a comment from Shigeru Miyamoto comparing them to the cast of Popeye cartoons. It obviously addresses Super Mario Bros. … Continue reading →

Douglas Fir Give Me Heartburn

Posted on December 23, 2017 by Nathan

It’s just a few more days until Christmas, so I might as well do a run-down of some of the holiday media I’ve consumed. I’d seen all of these previously, but not that recently, and I don’t think I’d written … Continue reading →

The World’s Most Dangerous Frog

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Nathan

Muppets Most Wanted – Beth and I have been watching The Muppet Show recently. She says she doesn’t like it, yet she’ll still watch every episode. She’s like Statler and Waldorf, I guess. No, she says she likes seeing the … Continue reading →
