Every now and then we get some real tonal whiplash here on Cinematic Century. It makes sense, it’s not like my tastes are completely uniform, and I only like one type of movies, but it can also be a littler jarring, both for the reader and for […]
Hi there everyone, and welcome back to another installment of Bat Signal, my ongoing quest to read every issue of Detective Comics, in random order, and with essentially no context. Now, just a couple weeks ago I happened to pull an issue that was actually part of a […]
Hi there everyone, and welcome back to another installment of Bat Signal, my ongoing quest to read every issue of Detective Comics, in random order. And we have something special today folks. For whatever reason the random number gods that dictate which issues I pull each week haven’t really […]
Happy Halloween everyone! Or, more accurately for today’s episode, Merry fake Christmas! We’re back for another week of Lifetime of Simpsons, continuing to make our way through the fifteenth season of the Simpsons (by the gods that’s a lot of seasons), and we start out week off […]
