Star Trek: Enterprise – An Oral History of Starfleet’s First Adventure

New DVD release, , , ,
Before Discovery or Strange New Worlds, the early days of the future as postulated by Star Trek were explored in the television series Star Trek: Enterprise. Celebrating its 20th anniversary at the end of the month, it was set roughly 75 years prior to The Original Series, during the fledgling days of Starfleet, when humanity was first venturing out into the cosmos.  Scott Bakula as Jonathan Archer captained the first starship given the name Enterprise, leading a team consisting of humans, a Vulcan, and a Denobulan. The voyage wasn’t always a smooth one, but certainly an important part of the…

Adventure Time: Distant Lands – Together Again Review

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Adventure Time: Distant Lands review contains no spoilers. Finn the Human (Jeremy Shada) and Jake the Dog (John DiMaggio) are back together! That is, if Finn can find his trusty stretchy shape-shifting dog pal in territory both familiar and uncharted. Set after the 2018 Adventure Time finale “Come Along with Me,” this is the first Distant Lands post-series special to shine the spotlight on our beloved adventurous boy-and-dog duo. It’s an answer to what happened after their happily-ever-after survival of the Gum War and defeat of GOLB. As the third and penultimate part of the Distant Lands miniseries on HBO…

Charlie Jane Anders’ Victories Greater Than Death Audiobook Gets Adventure Time Narrator

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A good audiobook narrator becomes a collaborator in the storytelling process, which is why which voice actor reads a novel can be so important. The stakes become even higher when it is a much-anticipated title, such as Victories Greater Than Death, the YA debut for Charlie Jane Anders, who is one of our favorite active writers of speculative fiction. (If you haven’t read her previous novels, All the Birds in the Sky or The City in the Middle of the Night, stop what you’re doing and check them out immediately… well, maybe wait until you finish reading this article.) Victories…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 22 Review: The Last Adventure!

New DVD release, , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. From the opening moments of DuckTales’ final episode it feels like the end. Almost everyone is here. There’s an extra care put into the scenes, a knowledge that we are in the last hour of their adventures. A last moment of uncomplicated joy before things get messy. And at the center of it all? Webby. In the beginning she seemed to be the POV character of DuckTales, the one everything seemed to focus around. Some of that was caused by the original air dates of the episodes accidentally putting all her focus episodes at the start but…

American Gods: Inside Shadow and Technical Boy’s Excellent Adventure

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for American Gods season 3. It seems that throughout the history of technology, there has been no greater driver of technological change than the most simple of human desires: sex.  From nickelodeon reels of women dancing in skimpy costumes to the home video format war of the ‘80s to the modern dating apps of today, sex sells, and sex has always been at the forefront of human invention. Someone makes a product, and someone else figures out how to use it to gratify humanity’s baser urges. To that end, it makes sense that the ancient Queen…

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 16 Review: The First Adventure!

New DVD release, , , , ,
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Kid Donald and Della are the best. The absolute freaking best. Donald’s grumpy grunge boy attitude, Della’s infectious adventuring spirit, they’re both wonderful contrasts to each other that make this episode a blast. Now normally I’m not a big fan of “what if character but they are kid/baby.” Oh sure it’s a license to print money for most franchises but it often lacks a soul. Not here though. DuckTales is too good for that. This isn’t just a MORE kid-fied version of the DuckTales you know, it’s a chance to see your favorite characters experience a huge…

Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna Spoiler-Free Review

New DVD release, , , , ,
Going into Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna I was apprehensive. The previous installment in the Digimon Adventure series, the six tri. movies, crashed and burned so badly it killed any enthusiasm I had for that original Adventure continuity. Starting off with so much potential they quickly devolved into awkward fan service (of all kinds), bad pacing, and character beats that just made no sense. There was no cohesion, little fun, and next to nothing of what made Digimon so special for a generation of fans. This movie is an apology for tri. It does everything right that tri. failed at. Last…

Adventure Time: The Final Seasons

New DVD release, ,
Highly Recommended It would be impossible to make an argument against the case of "Adventure Time" being a cultural phenomenon. Launched in 2010 from Cartoon Network, the series was the brainchild of Pendleton Ward who served as storyline writer for eight of the series' 10 seasons amongst other credits. Over nearly a decade since the Finn the Human (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and Jake the Dog (voiced by voice acting legend John DiMaggio) treated viewers to a whimsical, irreverent and wholly original adventure in the debut episode "Slumber Party Panic", the series has gone on to spawn countless off-shoots. Numerous…
