May 20, 2021 by Kurt Onstad

We’ve recently gotten a teaser trailer for the Marvel film “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” but you may not have heard of the character before that.

Shang-Chi’s dad as originally portrayed…

Limited Edition First Issue…#15? Math is hard!

and as seen in one of the (many) films where they cast a white man to play him.

Episode 69: Video Games to Movies and Vice Versa - What Goes Wrong?

October 15, 2020 by Kurt Onstad

Since the early 90s, video games have been fodder for movie studios, but few of those adaptations seem to be successful. Why is that? Kurt goes over some of the possible reasons for that, as well as looking the other direction, and why few video games based around movies have been well-received.

I usually try to keep positive on the show, but you can’t improve until you confront your mistakes, so hopefully this can steer future video game adapters away from some of the pitfalls, and help make upcoming movies better!

Well, the costumes are on point, except for those boots…

Ryan Reynolds just doesn’t want people to see his face anymore, does he?

Help! We’re trapped in an Uwe Boll movie, and can’t get out!

With all of the different Star Trek shows that have aired, what’s the best order for a burgeoning Trekkie to watch them in? Kurt gives his opinion on which option is best, and why. But first, for the non-initiated, what are all those acronyms?

As promised in the show, the viewing order Kasia found and referenced in her question is here.

Has there been any other show that went from live-action to animated and kept its entire cast?

The first movie talks about the crew getting old. And then it keeps going…

What happened to the B and C? Don’t worry, you’ll find out eventually.

My personal favorite, but to each their own.

You’d think the ship name would be a warning of what was going to happen…
