By Patrick D Gaertner on December 21, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  Hi there everyone, and welcome back for another installment of Bat Signal, my quest to read every issue of Detective Comics that has ever been published, in random order, and with no real context between issues. An this week we have a story from the weird world of the […]

S31 E10 – Bobby, It’s Cold Outside

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 18, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  Hey folks, it’s time for a Christmas episode of the Simpsons! We’ve just recently had the anniversary of when the original Christmas Special aired, so Christmas has always been pretty entwined with the show. So, of course, they decided to take a Christmas episode, and combine it […]

Black Christmas and the Horror of Patriarchy

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 17, 2019 • ( 2 Comments )

  Over the last couple years, basically the time that I’ve been running this site, I’ve been trying to get more into horror movies. And, thanks to a resurgence in high-quality horror movies, that’s been pretty easy. Horror has never been my genre, other than Monster movies, and […]

2016 – The Nice Guys

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 15, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

We’re in the home stretch of Cinematic Century here, folks. Only a handful of weeks left, and we’ve now reached a very odd little period of time, when this site was up and running and I was even making my favorite films of the year lists. Which means […]

That Time J Jonah Jameson Experienced a Christmas Carol

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 13, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

    Well folks, it’s December here on Marvel Madness, which means that it’s time to talk about Marvel’s various insane attempts to bring Holiday joy to their comics. I’ve been talking about Christmas stories here for the last few years, and they’ve been a pretty consistent source […]

The Warehouse and the Mundanity of Dystopia

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 12, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  As I’ve discussed recently, a major theme of the storytelling of 2019 has been the slow realization that we’re essentially living in an economic dystopia, courtesy of rampant capitalism and class warfare. Which, has led to quite a bit of engaging, and often depressing stories. And, it’s […]

Dark Waters and the Horror of Corporations

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 10, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  After a slow start 2019 ended up becoming a really strong year for movies. There have been a lot of different recurring themes this year, but one of the biggest trends in storytelling this year has been a palpable anger, fear, and downright hatred of the world […]

2015 – Mad Max Fury Road

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 8, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  Last week I threw a bit of a curve-ball, going with a movie that I would wager most people haven’t seen. And, this week I’ve ended up changing things up by picking one of  the most beloved and popular films of the year, the absolutely unhinged masterpiece, Mad […]

Issue 146 – “Three’s a Crime”

By Patrick D Gaertner on December 7, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

  Hi there everyone, and welcome back for yet another installment of Bat Signal, my never-ending quest to read every single issue of Detective Comics, in random order, and with essentially no context. And folks, I make fun of the covers of these Golden Age comics quite a bit. They […]
