This week I put down the PS4 controller, perch on a skyscraper ledge, and turn down the Wu-Tang in order to review Spider-Man PS4. Plus, the first edition of “Comics Thing I Love.” [Read more…] about PREVIOUSLY ON… #39: Spider-Man PS4 Review!

Ant-Man & The Wasp Review! Small Stakes
About halfway through Ant-Man and the Wasp I started thinking about Lebron James. The brand new Los Angeles Laker has been so good at basketball, for such a sustained period that it’s easy to take his talents (to South Beach) for granted.

Deadpool 2 Movie Review! Wait For Cable

I have to say, that for me, Deadpool 2 is simply too slight for the moment.
