When it comes to consuming literature, I tend to go either e-book or paper. This time I went the audiobook route for Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece. Why? Because the story unfolds by the people involved in the story of Megadeth’s mega album, Rust in Peace.
The Snowpiercer franchise is starting to remind me of the Little Golden Book, The Little Engine That Could. It’s full steam ahead as the Snowpiercer universe keeps charging round and round. If you have not read the original graphic novel or seen the movie, this is a perfect way to binge-watch an amazing series that chugs along with a great cast.
The Doom Patrol dubbed “World’s Strangest Heroes” is enjoying success on the small screen. There are great parallels between the X-Men and the Doom Patrol. DC’s heroes debuted a full three months prior to X-Men #1 in 1963. Both their leaders in wheelchairs lead a band of misfits. History was kinder to the X-Men as they exploded in popularity in the late 70s
July promises to be hotter this year with the release of Fourth World Omnibus by John Byrne by DC Comics. The giant omnibus collects all the Fourth stories by fan favourite writer/artist John Byrne. True to the Jack Kirby creation, this series is sure to entertain.
CAKE is back with a new single. They are no strangers doing cover versions. Their unique spin on classics such as Gloria Gaynor’s song “I Will Survive” and Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” take the songs to new levels of musical interpretation. “Age of Aquarius” is no different, we certainly need an upbeat tune.

Here is a double feature of Mexican movies taking liberty in ripping American comic book related characters. Bikini-clad Batwoman is released in English for the first time by VCI Entertainment. As Robin used to say, “Holy contributing to the delinquency of minors!”
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Tammy and the T-Rex was released a year after Jurassic Park. The movie is so bad that it is good. You could say it is the only movie featuring a love story between a teenage girl and a robot dinosaur.
And you thought the life of a pumpkin was easy. Now we know why the Great Pumpkin never made an appearance
It started with a surveillance video uploaded on YouTube in 2014. The video’s description claims that the clown’s name is Wrinkles, that he lives in Florida, and that he is hired by children’s parents to punish kids who misbehave. After the video went viral, other mysterious videos popped up online…Wrinkles pushing a cart through a parking lot. Waving alongside a busy highway. Holding balloons in front of a suburban home. The unsettling clips launched WRINKLES THE CLOWN to internet infamy. Cryptic stickers with a phone number were plastered on telephone poles and in bathrooms across the state, promising to terrify misbehaving children. Over 1 million voicemails were left. Wrinkles the Clown follows this eerie real-life character and explores the unpredictable spread of imagination in the internet age.
With its droll humor and bittersweet emotional heft, the feature debut of writer-director Greg Mottola announced the arrival of an unassumingly sharp-witted new talent on the 1990s indie scene. When she discovers a love letter written to her husband (Stanley Tucci) by an unknown paramour, the distraught Eliza (Hope Davis) turns to her tight-knit Long Island family for advice. Soon the entire clan—strong-willed mom (Anne Meara), taciturn dad (Pat McNamara), and jaded sister (Parker Posey) with pretentious boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) in tow—has squeezed into a station wagon and headed into Manhattan to find out the truth, kicking off a one-crazy-day odyssey full of unexpected detours and life-changing revelations.
