[Schumacast] Remembering Joel

Rebecca Nicole Williams, the Sorceress of Film, joins Angie and I as we pay our respects to the late Joel Schumacher and what led us to each of our projects exploring his career. Check it out here.

[Schumacast] Tim Burton's Batman Films

Before taking on the infamous Joel Schumacher era of Batman cinema, Angie and I first look at Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns, as well as the 1966 Batman movie, Batmania, and our overall experience with the caped crusader. Check it out here.

Letterboxd Reviews, March 2020

I've been meaning to get back into written reviews for a while, even making it my news years resolution for 2020. After a couple months of procrastinating, I managed to dust off an update my Letterboxd account, and saw it as a great opportunity to start exercising those muscles again. I'm not going to update here with star rankings I've been adding for stuff I watched in the past, but these pieces are for films I watched during March:

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

Horror of Dracula (1958)

The Abominable Snowman (1957)

Mortal Kombat (1995)

Street Fighter (1994)

The Snorkel (1958)

Godzilla (1954)

The Hitcher (1986)

Godzilla Raids Again (1955)

Half Human (1955)

Rodan (1956)

The Mysterians (1957)

Notable entries in this were the last film I saw in theaters before the COVID outbreak (Sonic), the last double feature at Melissa's movie night before said outbreak (Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat), me starting to watch through the Hammer Horror catalogue (which has been stalling out due to dissatisfaction), and me starting through the history of Toho Tokusatsu movies (which I've started a weekly virtual movie night for).

[Schumacast] The Client (1994)

The fabulously facially follicled Weston joins Angie and I as we look at Joel's first adaptation of a John Grisham legal thriller, and vent our feelings about the career and legacy of one Akiva Goldsman. Check it out here.

[Thundarr Road] Master of the Stolen Sunsword

Michael, David, and I ride in from a long hiatus with this odd tale of stage magicians gone mad, men in business suits on camel back, and Thundarr struggling with the anxiety of impotency when the Sunsword loses its power. Check it out here.

[Craft Disservices] Atlantis: The Lost Empire

After sharing a panel with Aaron and his frequent co-host Mikanhana at CONvergence, he was kind enough to invite me onto his series exploring films worth another look after failing to connect with critics on their original release. Here, we discuss Disney's animated adventure epic, blending the design style of Mike Mignola with dark violence, cultural genocide, another Joss Whedon found family of mercenaries with a plucky young woman mechanic, and more adventure tropes than you could trigger a booby trap at. Plus, a fun, broader discussion of geeky media as a whole. I had a really fun time with this discussion. Check it out here.

[Atop the Fourth Wall] Heavy Wrex and the Contest of Champions

At the tail end of Linkara's annual rundown, you'll see a storyline segment updating the latest challengers and stats in the ongoing Contest of Champions, in which I had the delight of playing Heavy Wrex, an interdimensional professional wrestler and construction foreman, who will be returning again in the near future. If you want to jump straight to that segment, it's 25 minutes into the second part. Check it out here.
