I don't know anything. I'm just guessing and wanting. I'll be more interested if Sadie Sink is Firestar than Marvel Girl. Peter has no friends. Give him her and Bobby and Ms. Lion and we're all eating. Real Spider-Man shyt.

Nolan's #TheOdysseyMovie is far more than an adaptation of Homer's epic. It's a meditation on war, leadership, & the burden of coming home. Matt Damon is excellent, Anne Hathaway & Tom Holland bring real emotional weight, & John Leguizamo delivers an awards-worthy performance.

Had the opportunity to be on Comic Timing's 20th anniversary episode. It was a good time catching up with old friends, talking about how I read comics differently over the past 20 years, and talk about the Supergirl film. #podcast #comics

Here we go, it's our 20th anniversary special! @kossinab.bsky.social @lampbane.bsky.social @donomark.bsky.social @thedabbadon.bsky.social from Blue Team, Murd, Chris Eberle and Shane from Gold Team join @iamscifi.bsky.social and a bunch of friends for a celebration. Plus a #Supergirl movie review!

I wished I liked the new #Supergirl film more, but in many ways it drifted a bit too far from the comic it's based on. The villain is flat, and the script drags in places, but Milly Alcock is very good. Makeup, Production Design, and VFX are very good. Check out my full #Review.

Supergirl (2026) Review: Milly Alcock Shines in a Lacking Comic Book Adaptation - Film Review | RIOTUS

Milly Alcock shines as Supergirl, but this visually impressive adaptation struggles to match the emotional power of its source material.

I didn't have Bleach coning back in Jump on my 2026 checklist. I'm looking forward to this. Tite Kubo is God-tier at page layouts. Best at sound effect usage on page.

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

My Adventures with Superman returns tonight with season 3. It continues to be stellar in adapting Superman stories. If you're a fan of the Reign of the Superman story arc this will be right up your alley. Great for Supergirl fans too! #MyAdventuresWithSuperman #Review

I came into The Mandalorian & Grogu completely cold, never watched an episode of the show, and honestly, this movie worked as a fun big-screen Star Wars adventure. Great action setpieces, Ludwig Göransson’s score is amazing, and the puppets are dope. Fire movie. #Review #StarWars #Filmsky #Moviesky

The Mandalorian and Grogu Review: A Big, Fun Return to the Big-Screen for Star Wars | RIOTUS

The Mandalorian and Grogu is a fun, crowd-pleasing Star Wars adventure with great action, standout creature work, and a killer Ludwig Göransson score.

Curry Barker’s #Obsession ended up being a horror film that sat with me long after I saw it. It’s unsettling, entertaining, & surprisingly thoughtful in how it explores loneliness, obsession, and toxic desire through a monkey’s paw-style premise.

'Obsession' Review - Manospheric Incel Horror Parable is Right on Time - | RIOTUS

Curry Barker’s Obsession twists male wish fulfillment into a disturbing horror film powered by anxiety, strong performances, and a haunting emotional core.

Courtney A. Kemp’s #Nemesis is one of the best original Netflix shows this year. A mix of Heat with New Jack City and, of course, Power - Nemesis has a perfect balance of heist movie, cops and robbers, and nighttime soap melodrama. On top of that, it's full of beautiful Black people in Los Angeles.

Nemesis Review - Courtney A. Kemp’s Heat-Inspired Drama is Netflix's New Summer Addiction - | RIOTUS

Courtney A. Kemp’s Nemesis mixes Heat-style heists with family drama, standout performances, and addictive tension in Netflix’s best crime series in years.

Four tracks in and wow Janice STFU is horrible. Just utterly trash noise with lazy bars. One of the worst songs I've listened to in the past year. Bobby Drake doesn't deserve this. #Drake

Punisher: One Last Kill is an easy favorite for me. Jon Bernthal gives one of the strongest performances in the MCU as Frank Castle. The special balances emotional grief with some incredibly brutal action. Once it ramps up, it feels like The Raid mixed with a Punisher comic from the early ‘90s.

Punisher: One Last Kill Review – Let Him Reintroduce Himself in This Excellent Action-Filled Special

Punisher: One Last Kill is brutal, emotional, and the most comic-accurate Frank Castle story the MCU has delivered. Jon Bernthal is phenomenal.

On a new #podcast focused on Milestone Comics. This episode we talk about first issues of the initial four series in the line - Hardware, Icon & Rocket, Blood Syndicate, and Static. It's a good dynamic here with Darrell & Gil who read these as they came out with Hasan & I who has read them later.
