MOON KNIGHT SERIES REVIEW

In the latest Disney Plus/Marvel Cinematic Universe show, the action moves to first London and then Egypt. New York’s just got too damn many superheroes in it. Oscar Isaac plays Steven Grant, a man with sleep issues, lots of knowledge of Egyptian lore, but not much self-confidence. He works in the gift shop of a museum instead of what he’s actually qualified for. But he keeps having these strange blackouts. It becomes clear soon that he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. His other personality Marc Spector is a total badass who apparently can call upon powers from an Egyptian God and becomes a nigh invulnerable superhero who fights for justice. Unfortunately, there’s a pretty bad dude (Ethan Hawke) leading a cult worshipping this other Egyptian God who wants something Stephen has and doesn’t care who they have to kill to get it. This is understandably more than a little stressful for the quiet Steven to discover and his troubles are only beginning. Chris, Sarah, Marco, and Beau interpreted the hieroglyphs for this new six episode miniseries and give their translation here.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.
