We’re still in this final era of Cinematic Century where I’m forced to confront the unstoppable march of time, looking at lists of movies that I swear I saw in theaters just a couple years ago, but which were almost a solid decade old. It’s a weird […]
Fantasy is such a very strange genre of storytelling. I’ve had a massive love for fantasy for most of my life, and I’m sure that that’s a pretty common occurrence. Most of the fairy tales, fables, and stories that we’re told as children boil down to fantasy, […]
Hello and welcome back to another installment of Bat Signal, my ongoing quest to read every issue of Detective Comics in random order, and with very little context. And boy oh boy do I have something special to talk about today. When this project began almost two years ago […]
Hey folks, we’ve made it through another week! Hooray! And, to make things better, we’re ending the week on another episode that heavily features Grandpa. Which is awesome. Plus, it’s an episode that made me incredibly emotional, and I definitely think that if you’re a dog person […]
