Thinking Outside The Long Box

Not too many shows that we watch catch me off guard with how well they’re done, compared to what my expectations were. When we started watching this show that was suggested by Doyle, I had no idea how good I was going to think it was. It does not disappoint at all in season 2, and we are of course talking about the MGM show, From!

“FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the forest including the terrifying creatures that come out at night.”

I thought this was going to be a straight vampire show, and it turned into so much more!! Coming from the creators of the show Lost, you know that there is going to be so many twists and turns. The ending of season 2, is exactly that. A turn that we should have probably seen coming, but happened in a way that seemed completely out of nowhere. If you haven’t seen this, man you need to make sure you go take a look, and binge it!

Every once in a while we have to slow the show down, in order to try something new, and something that we think would be fun. This is one of those shows!! Don’t get me wrong, slow for us, doesn’t mean boring, it just means something different. I recently signed up for the CLZ comic book app, and we wouldn’t to go through some of my Spider-Man comic books!

“The Amazing Spider-Man is an ongoing American superhero comic book series featuring the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man as its title character and main protagonist. Being in the mainstream continuity of the franchise, it was the character’s first title, launching seven months after his introduction in the final issue of Amazing Fantasy. The series began publication with a March 1963 cover date and has been published nearly continuously to date over six volumes with only one significant interruption. Issues of the title currently feature an issue number within its sixth volume, as well as a “legacy” number reflecting the issue’s overall number across all Amazing Spider-Man volumes. The title reached 900 issues in 2022.”

We go through and add every Spider-Man comic book that I have between 0-199. We get to talk about some of the covers, and some of the plot lines! Next time we’ll go through less books, but this was such a fun and different episode!

Did you know that there was a Trailer Park Boys comic book? We for sure didn’t until Fan Expo Denver!! We had the chance to sit down and speak with creator extraordinaire Travis Hymel!

“Travis Hymel is an artist and illustrator living in Colorado. He has worked for clients such as Devil’s Due comics, Action Lab Entertainment, Boom Studios, Full Moon Comix, and UNICEF.”

Travis was such a chill dude, and his art is super cool!! His Trailer Park Boys work is damn near life like, which lends itself to those goofy stories! I think if the art was just like the stories it might take away from the book itself, but man is the art really freaking good!! We also were able to take home a version that was an homage to older horror books!! Travis is a local creator, and you definitely need not skip out on his work!!

If you’ve been listening to the show for any amount of time, you know that we are pretty big fans of anything that has to do with exorcism! It generally makes for a good time, even in low budget projects! With that in mind, when we first saw the trailer for The Pope’s Exorcist, featuring Russell Crowe as the lead, we were generally very excited!!

“Father Gabriele Amorth, chief exorcist for the Vatican, battles Satan and innocent-possessing demons. A detailed portrait of a priest who performed more than 100,000 exorcisms in his lifetime.”

If there was any fear that Russell Crowe might not treat this genre with respect, they were quelled pretty quickly. Not only does he treat the genre with the utmost respect, he absolutely nails this performance! This is worth every bit of time time spent on the movie, not just if you’re into the horror genre, but definitely especially if you’re into the horror genre!

It’s the end of an era, but possibly the start of something new. When Marvel Studios began making super hero films, nobody would have ever guessed that this band of heroes would have been the team up with their own movies. Arguably, very few people had even heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Yet, here we are, talking about Volume 3, and what is supposed to be the end of the team as we’ve known them so far.

“Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill must rally his team to defend the universe and protect one of their own. If the mission is not completely successful, it could possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”

I guess, like Agent Smith would say, everything with a beginning, has an end. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t see this team in the future. I mean there are still many multi-universe stories to be told. It just means that, unless Marvel is lying, this will be the last rendition of GOTG to feature this main team.

I’m sure that millions of people around the world play dungeons and dragons. The game is enjoyed by many a nerd. Well, the time came for there to be a live action movie, as seems to be the case for many things that we never thought would be movies. Now you get to decide whether it was worth the wait, or if it should have ever been made. Today we’re talking about the film, Dungeons & Dragons: No Honor Among Thieves.

“No Honor Among Thieves is a competitive/cooperative game for three to six players, in which each player assembles a crew of thieves and sets out to see who can steal the most from the rich and powerful of the kingdom.”

It tells the story about a band of people that come together in order to steal things. One of those items, is a magical talisman that has the magic ability to bring someone back from the dead. Of course, in a tale like this, nothing goes as planned!
