VNA #10 - "Transit" by Ben Aaronovitch - Doctor Who Book Guide - CtW

In one of the most R-rated Doctor Who stories in the franchise's history, an evil presence lurks within the subway system of the future, the Doctor teams up with the descendant of an old friend, Benny starts a riot, and we end up elbows deep in cyberpunk!

Sorry this was so super late guys! I'll do better next time!

God, Nature & Moral Orel

Today we look at a stop-motion gross-out religious comedy from Adult Swim. Moral Orel can be very thought provoking. It can be pretty provoking in general.

Brigadier Gerard: Doyle's Forgotten Son

We all know about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. But what if I told you he created a character he loved even more then the famous detective? Haven't heard of Brigadier Gerard? You wouldn't be the first.

Grady's family has just moved to Florida, their house bordering the mysterious Fever Swamp. Every night, something comes from the swamp, howling to the moon, scratching at the door. Werewolves, swamp hermits, snakes, disease, animals torn apart, neighbors going missing... yeah, pretty much just another day in Florida.

Wednesday's video postponed

Hey all. I'm terribly sorry, but Wednesday's intended video, the Doctor Who Book Guide for Paul Cornell's "Love and War", is going to be postponed to next week. I had some unintended scheduling issues, plus I thought I could work in that Class review in a timely fashion, and it threw everything off. I need some space in my schedule to catch up. I hope this is a rare occurence. There will be a Breaking Spines video on Saturday, and the Goosebumps Halloween Annual on Monday, so there's still plenty of stuff to look forward...

Class Episode Review - 1.01 & 1.02 "For Tonight We Might Die/The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo"

We kick off a series of new episode reviews for "Class," the latest Doctor Who spin off. When holes in reality stop popping up at Coal Hill Academy, it's up to a group of misfits to defend the Earth. But mostly we're here for Miss Quill. Miss Quill is love, Miss Quill is life.

The Wake of Saw - Part Two: The Jill Tuck Saga

We conclude our discussion of the Saw film series, talking about Saw IV, V, VI & VII. How well does Detective Hoffman and Jill Tuck stack up to Jigsaw and Amanda? Not well! Not well at all. But there's still stuff to like in there.

The Wake of Saw - Part One: The Jigsaw Trilogy

This week, we look at the entire Saw series and explore how it morphed and changed into one of the oddest horror franchises ever. Part One looks at Saw I, II & III.

Resident Evil, Whittling That Potential

We discuss Resident Evil, the film adaptation of the popular survival horror game, and wonder why some films so stubbornly insist to waste their potential.

VNA #08 - "Nightshade" by Mark Gatiss - Doctor Who Book Guide - CtW

The Doctor contemplates retirement, but can't, because he's stuck in an unofficial crossover with Quatermass. Yes, I know I mispronounce "Qautermass" through out the entire video. I suck.

Repost- The Werewolf Chronicles Reviews: Book II - Children of the Wolf

Originally posted October 15th, 2013. In the second part of our werewolf trilogy, Gruff discovers that the werewolf plot runs deeper than he imagined, and now he can talk and use a toilet correctly despite being raised by wolves.

Everworld Book Guide - #2 Land of Loss

Our protagonists are caught in a battle between Vikings and Aztecs, risking capture, rape and death by ritual sacrifice. ALSO Christopher watches the Mary Tyler Moore Show! A bit of a whiplash, this series.
