Irreverent & uncensored on comics, pop culture, and more.
The modern nerd is spoiled for choice when it comes to tv show options. You’ve got fantasy epics like Game of Thrones, intriguing sci-fi like The Expanse, and any number of Marvel/DC shows being aired with fancy budgets. Lucky for you, our nerdy tv show reviews sift through the junk and help you separate the Iron Fist’s from the Jessica Jone’s. (If you can’t tell, we didn’t like Iron Fist very much).
From time to time, we’ll also review more esoteric tv shows that aren’t your typical Obvious Nerd Demographic (TM) tv show. Just keep an open mind and prepare to have your senses tickled.
The Expanse was cancelled. I know, I destroyed my coffee machine in rage too. Deadline reported the The Expanse’s cancellation, writing that the third season would be its last on Syfy, with the production company Alcon Television Group planning to shop the series to other buyers. Syfy parent company NBCUniversal had the following statement: “The […]
I grew up reading Archie comic books. Part of the comic’s charm was its wholesome traditional feel starring young and bubbly high school characters leading happy everyday lives. The comics revolved around Betty and Veronica, two girls who were best friends, and both in love with the male lead character, Archie. They had fun adventures […]
I’m a sucker for Kentarou Miura’s Berserk and its epic bloody battles in a dark fantasy setting. Back in 2016, a new Berserk anime series debuted, marking the series’ return to animated form. One of the main criticisms leveled at the modern release was the heavy use of CG in the animation, a point I’ve […]
Back in October, during the most recent New York Comic Con, I walked past what looked to be a corporate bank signup table–the kind you’d see in any general audience outdoor festival or farmers market slinging checking accounts and credit cards. You know, like Wells Fargo or Chase was in town for NYCC. The booth […]
There may not be an objective best manga of all time, but if I had to pick one then Berserk would be at the top of my list. In many ways, I feel Berserk is underappreciated and flies somewhat under the radar due to its hyper-violent dark fantasy world, long lead times between releases, and […]
Iron Fist is the last origin series (preceded by Daredevil (Good), Jessica Jones (Great), and Luke Cage (Disappointing, see our season 1 review)) before the release of The Defenders this fall. Here’s the trailer: Will the Iron Fist tv series live up to hype that Daredevil and Jessica Jones brought the Marvel television universe, or will it end up being another piece of shit like Luke Cage? DISCLAIMER: […]
Practice what you Preach (I’m soooo clever) Full disclosure: I have not yet read the comic. So yes, I watched the show before I read the comic so sue me. AMC’s series Preacher is an outstanding show; unfortunately this fact this isn’t common knowledge but it should be. From what I hear the Series, Preacher is more […]
Coming off the heels of critically acclaimed Marvel Netflix series Jessica Jones, fans were eagerly awaiting the release of Luke Cage, the bulletproof behemoth with superhuman strength. What we were left with, however, was a giant disappointing piece of shit plagued with stupid characters and god awful writing. Let’s see what this Luke Cage review […]
Atlanta is a Masterpiece. As a long time follower and fan of Donald Glover (even since the YouTube days) I found myself excited to delve into FX’s Atlanta for this Atlanta review. The series also really fits my taste as a fan of rap culture. Atlanta is a salad with different kinds of leafy emotions that are […]
