The original album tracks will be newly remastered by The Doors' longtime engineer and mixer Bruce Botnick and will be accompanied by a biographical comic book.
Superheroes are sweeping the mainstream and dominating the box office, but why now? Is this a sign of a shift to an altruistic majority?
Black Panther may not be perfect in the technical department but incredible roles by its cast, the MCU's greatest villain yet, an impossibly cool setting, and a super hero with real emotional bite more than make up for any of it's shortcomings. I couldn't help but walk out of the theater beaming with pride and optimism for the future - and at the end of the day isn't that what super heroes are all about?
We're back with the first new show of 2018 and we open things up by taking care of some housecleaning, discussing our holidays and resolutions for the new year, then movie into impressions of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the backlash Dave Chappelle is facing and whether we think society is too easily offended. Then we end things talking about shows and movies we've been watching over the holidays and if Oprah is a bit of a hypocrite.
Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher was a step back in the right direction for both companies. They managed to finish the story they started in Daredevil, introduce a great new character in Micro, and show a whole different side to The Punisher than we've ever seen before. However, I hope in Season 2 we get a lot more Punisher and a lot less Frank Castle and more action sequences that can match the high mark left from Season 2 of Daredevil.
In this final installment of the Culture of Comics series, we are taking a look at comic creators who transcend the comic book medium in ways which liken their works more closely to forms of what is considered, "high art."
Season 2 of Preacher improves upon everything you loved about Season 1 and cranks the craziness up to an even greater level. It's as funny and as sharp as ever thanks to some phenomenal writing, acting, and dialogue that keeps things grounded even in a world as outlandish as this one. In short, Season 2 of Preacher is some of the best TV I've seen in the past 5 years and it's a show that everyone should be talking about.
Season 1 of The Defenders should have been a fun, hard-hitting romp that delivered on years of build up in a big way that would shape the Marvel/Netflix cinematic universe for years to come. Unfortunately what we got was a soulless, plodding season that under delivered in just about every way possible. Time to bring on The Punisher.
Stan Lee was larger than life. What will we do without him?
Jessica Jones is vastly different than any other super hero property out there so if you go into it with that mindset there a fairly interesting dramatic, pseudo-noir story being told here; along with answers to long running questions about her past and potential for future highly personal conflicts.
It’s very clear, from the artistic and financial success of Black Panther, that Ryan Coogler was the right director for Black Panther, and that Black Panther was the right film for him to make at this stage of his career. However, that’s not always the case when it comes to talented young directors who are brought into high-profile franchise filmmaking.
DC and Marvel have truly become the Apple and Samsung of the movie world and seem to be exercising a duopoly on the rest of the movie industry, with no signs of slowing down.
The Justice League is here (and believe me, I am here for Wonder Woman) but Thor is the true ruler of the box office. If you're trying to decide between Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok this holiday weekend, and you want the most bang for your buck, the latter will leave you feeling just dandy about spending ten bucks of your hard-earned cash and chuckling all the way home.
In the last few decades, pop culture and entertainment have unapologetically co-opted mainstream comics, using their content to fuel a billion dollar industry. What most people don't realize, however, is that there's a wealth of world-class comics with stories you'll never see represented at the megaplexes. These are books focuses on topics of subculture, such as music, identity and the marginalized, and they're some of the most compelling and well-crafted comics in the world.
Riverdale is everything that shouldn't work together...working together in a way that is so wrong, yet oh so right. In a world where cable TV often seems like a wasteland littered with reboots and spin offs (and on occasion a totally original show), Riverdale is a uniquely original and totally welcome addition.
Suicide Squad had so much promise and potential. It could've been the fun, lighthearted movie that DC despeartely needed. But instead turned out to be a dumpster fire of a movie. What happened to those great initial trailers?
