Wrestlemania’s gonna run wild on you, brother! Twists, turns, and RE-turns kept us slack-jawed. Congress demands to know when you touch yourself and what you're listening to while you do it. Flight Fam Entertainment bring a round of sound. And Ghost in the Shell brings us poorly shot amazing visuals, legendary actors in sub-par roles, and unanimously derided questionable casting — there’s something for EVERYBODY!

It was a special event loaded with emotion topped off with the final match and retirement of one of the greatest of the greats. Thirteen matches were contested at the event, including three on the pre-show. Among the highlights: Brock Lesnar's rampage over Goldberg, The Hardys' triumphant return to WWE, John Cena & Nikki Bella's engagement, and the aforementioned legend himself - The Undertaker's last-ever WrestleMania match.

The music group Flight Fam Entertainment came by to speak a few words and talk tunes with us. These guys are from our own home town of Boston, Massachusetts. We were happy to shout them out and they were cool enough to give us a track. Check them out.

This one hurt a bit. ...Okay, a LOT. Much controversy has plagued the 2017 live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. Anime fans and critics alike condemned the production for casting Caucasian actors in historically Asian roles. Pat chose to view the film from a purely objective point of view, hoping that behind all the yelling about social injustice, whitewashing, and appropriation stood a decent scifi motion picture that would do right by it's original media. So many other adaptations have sucked with a royal fervor... How did this one measure up?

Schooltree is in the house and Heterotopia’s in full effect! Power Rangers brings together teenagers with attitude for REAL this time. There were memories unearthed and guilty pleasures exposed left and right! With rampant kaiju battles and domestic violence (not necessarily unrelated), Colossal talks big, but can it deliver? And GameStop is going the way of the dodo… maybe NOW we’ll get a fair price for that damn N-Gage!

There were memories unearthed and guilty pleasures exposed as Pat reveals how much he knew about the original Power Rangers without realizing it. There was nearly a full-fledged nerd-out here. in the midst of which came (eventually) a fair assessment of 2017's Power Rangers, and how it compares to the television show it's based on. Five ordinary teens must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove - and the world - is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it's too late, band together as the Power Rangers. Is the adaptation faithful? Was it deserving of the claims of white-washing? Could we have a new film franchise in the works? Hmm...
