Penn and Teller Get Killed
Quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic offal (rhymes with "awful") ever inflicted on a tortured audience, Penn and Teller Get Killed [1] is an hour and a half of eye-peeling celluloid agony. It was conceived and birthed in a rancid, mutant fashion around the time I was sliding into juvenile delinquency, and it absolutely reeks, my friend. Picture this: the cinematic equivalent of rotten gouda, the movie world's answer to sauerkraut left to fester overnight in boiling summer heat, swarming with flies. It’s like stained, feculent, rotting boxers. It’s so bad that bad needs a new level to sink to, a fresh nuance of meaning to emphasize just HOW abysmally dreadful this film is. In short: you could produce better movies while stoned on Benzedrine and randomly splicing episodes of "Gilligan’s Island," guided by the Fibonacci Sequence. The outcome would still make more sense.

Geek Chic
The roots of geek culture can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when science fiction literature, comic books, and early computer technology began to capture the imaginations of young enthusiasts. These early adopters formed tight-knit communities, often meeting in basements or garages to share their passions and discoveries. Despite being marginalized by mainstream society, these geeks laid the groundwork for the cultural revolution that would follow.

Mind Your Own!
October has arrived... I feel it in the air after a very long and stubborn run of humidity and warmth that made many Canadians feel as if there was some sort of meteorological joke playing out among us. As we say, 'If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes...'. Something is always coming down the pipe. And change and surprises are very much on my mind as I write this.

The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot is a wonderful adventure for the whole family. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you question how dark your humor can be, especially when watching an animated movie mostly targeted at kids.

The Dark World of Madoka Magica
This piece will contain mild spoilers for the 2011 animated Japanese show Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The year was 2021, and COVID-19 was running our everyday lives. (I’m currently writing this with COVID-19 this very second in our good year 2024–how ironic is that?)

Blue-Eyed Samurai: A Critical Exploration
Blue-Eyed Samurai, an anime series that offers a compelling narrative that explores the complex interplay between vengeance, identity, and the human psyche. Set in Edo-period Japan, the series follows Mizu, a biracial swordswoman born with blue eyes, an anomaly in a society that values purity and conformity. The story is a relentless pursuit of revenge against those who have wronged Mizu, but beneath the surface, it is a profound exploration of what it means to be human in a world that dehumanizes those who do not fit its rigid norms.
