Bobby Anti-Theft Backpack Review: A Well-Realized First Generation Product
We ususally don’t pay any attention to our bags. We throw our stuff in them, make sure that they’re not too heavy as to break our backs, then we grab them and go. Trust me, for years, I just used any old backpack that I can get my hands on, my lower back be damned.…

Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Geeky Friend (Who May or May Not Be Named Ade)
Another year is just about done and Christmas is around the corner! It’s the season of Jose Mari Chan, 1:43, and crass commercialism in the form of giving everyone you know gifts. Even if you barely know or dislike the person, now is your chance to fake affection by buying small tokens for Christmas! And…

‘The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years’ Review
Here’s the thing with The Beatles. We practically know everything there is about the few years John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have spent together, through obsessively poring through archives upon archives of studio notes, collecting bootleg recordings of alternate takes and live performances, and of course poring through various books written…

‘Train to Busan’ is a Fantastic, Harrowing Take on the Zombie Genre
Let’s face it: zombies have overstayed their welcome. If you need any proof of zombie oversaturation, just do a cursory search of zombie mobile games in your phone, and you’ll find loads of undead-related mobile shenanigans of varying quality. It is with this oversaturation that I’ve long given up on watching shows like The Walking…

‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Fails Miserably.
If you’re going to say that I want nothing more than DC movies to fail, trust me, that is far from the truth. I wanted to see this movie succeed so bad, because two comic book universes can only mean that us geeks win. I felt alienated by the DC’s New 52 reboot, and since Batman…

‘Batman: Bad Blood’ Review: Band-Aids Don’t Fix Bullet Holes
One of my favorite parts of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman was after the events of Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis. The one where Dick Grayson wore the cowl after Bruce Wayne was presumed dead. His relationship with Damian was fantastic, and it was during this time that Damian became my favorite Robin. But as a…

Out of Context Comics: The Incredible Hulk…
… does not know the lyrics of that Backstreet Boys song. Also, new stuff on What’s A Geek! And I wrote something for MB Life. Sorry about that last one. [H/T]

New on WAG: Bad Vampire Erotica, ‘Doctor Who’ Survival Guide, and More
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a little active on What’s A Geek. It’s a pretty fun group, and, you know, writing a lot about geek stuff while learning about other geeky stuff I never knew existed. Did you know I had no idea what the hell a waifu was until I met them? So…

John Hurt Returns as the War Doctor in ‘Only the Monstrous’ [Review]
John Hurt returns as the crotchety War Doctor in Only the Monstrous, the highly-anticipated audio drama from Big Finish. Let’s be honest. From the moment Doctor Who went back on air and revealed that (um… 11-year old spoilers?) the Time Lords and Daleks were wiped out of existence due to a massive and destructive Time War,…

Ranking the ‘Doctor Who’ Series Finales From Best to Worst
There’s this interesting thread right now on Reddit’s /r/gallifrey subreddit where we were asked to rank all the Doctor Who series finales since 2010. Check out the discussion, it’s great. I haven’t contributed to the thread myself because I needed time to collect my thoughts on the series finales. Also, I haven’t seen most of…
