A Guide to Pet Safety During the Holiday Season

New DVD release, , , ,
When you think about it, the holiday season is an unusually dangerous time. Christmas and the subsequent year-end festivities typically involve large quantities of humans gathering together. And wherever large human gatherings go, disaster statistically usually follows. Even during this very strange Christmas season, in which families will (hopefully) forego mass gathering due to the coronavirus pandemic, plenty of dangers linger. What are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, if not massive fire hazards? As the human animal has demonstrated time and time again, there’s probably not much we can do to mitigate the dangers of the winter holidays. Brittle,…

Rick and Morty Character Guide Delves Into the Multiverse

New DVD release, , , ,
The open nature of animation as a genre and the seeming limitlessness of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s imaginations means that their Adult Swim creation Rick and Morty occupies a big universe … or universes more accurately  This creates for an undeniably exciting viewing experience.

Best Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Gifts: A Star Wars Holiday Buying Guide

New DVD release, , , ,
Presented by: On Nov. 12, 2019, pop culture was forever changed when Disney+ launched The Mandalorian. Although the Star Wars saga had already established a presence on TV thanks to cartoons like The Clone Wars and Rebels, there had never been a well, good, live-action attempt to bring a galaxy far, far away to the small screen. (And no, The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Ewok Adventure, and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor don’t count, but at least the latter had Wilford Brimley). The Mandalorian changed all this. The series is packed with motion picture-level production values, A-List talent on…

A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting: How to Craft a Scary Story For Children

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In the U.K., the pop culture phrase “behind the sofa” is used to refer to media that is scary enough to prompt kids to hide behind the nearest piece of furniture, but engaging enough to keep them from out-right fleeing the room. Strongly associated with Doctor Who, “behind the sofa” is a concept that can be applied far beyond the long-running science fiction series to speculative fiction (in particular horror) media targeted toward children and families. It’s perhaps a phrase British-American director Rachel Talalay, known for her work on some of NuWho’s most visually-ambitious installments, had in mind when directed…
