By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Originally a play in two parts, Harry Potter And The Cursed Child has been reimagined as an epic one-night event at The Curran Theater in beautiful San Francisco, California. As somebody who never experienced the full show, it’s hard to imagine what was cut because this felt like the complete package. Coming in at 3 […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon My initial thoughts after seeing the cover are that the costume looks like a cross between Iron Man, Batman, and The Human Torch, with a touch of The Mandalorian. At the very start, we see Rogue Sun beating the snot out of a hooded figure in the city of New Orleans. Rogue Sun sends the mystery figure flying into a building […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Before I get into it, I want to say a couple of things up front. The most important thing is that I absolutely adore the Foo Fighters. For those of you (somehow) unfamiliar, let’s quickly get up to speed. With the tragic passing of Kurt Cobain, the band Nirvana was no more, and drummer Dave […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor I had never heard of Music Racer Ultimate, but it looked and sounded like it was worth a try. I fired up the PS5 and jumped into the driver’s seat, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. It won’t be for everyone with less racer and more dynamic rhythm, but it doesn’t have to be. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman is a detective neo-noir story that plays by familiar rules. The film follows Batman as he tracks down a sadistic killer known as The Riddler. In typical fashion, he leaves riddles and clues around the crime scenes, and it’s up to Batman, with the help of police lieutenant Jim […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor It’s a Christmas classic, and now you can play out your favorite moments when you bring home the Home Alone set from LEGO. This 3,995 piece set is a joy to put together and will fill you with cheer as you assemble the iconic house where Kevin McCallister took down The Wet Bandits for the […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon We open with the scene of the aftermath of a battle three months after it finished. The destruction scene is massive. We follow Chandra Nalaar, The Firebrand; she is a planeswalker not known for her excellent sense; as she explores what remains of The Battle of Amonkhet. As she explores the ruins and wanders about the great war machines, she hears the […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor I recently got a PlayStation 5, so I have been looking for solid games to check out. Elex II has been on my radar, so I decided to jump in and give it a shot. ELEX II is the sequel to ELEX, the open-world role-playing experience from Piranha Bytes. Back to the war-torn sci-fi world […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor If you haven’t played one of the Uncharted games, you owe it to yourself. The game series by Naughty Dog for PlayStation are some of the best games I have played. The series has spawned a feature film starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. Does Uncharted steal the audience’s attention, or is it a farce […]
By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor For those of a certain age, a manual typewriter will always be something special. It was a more efficient and neater way to capture your thoughts on paper and acted as the precursor to the modern computer keyboard. While I had some experiences with typewriters growing up, it was never an essential part of my life. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor At this point in history, you should know what Jackass is and whether or not it’s for you. The irreverent comedy premiered on MTV in October 2000 and has spawned a successful series of spin-offs and feature films. It has been the subject of both controversy and pure shock as audiences worldwide have witnessed Johnny […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor Okay, this one is a long time coming. I backed the Space Force Kickstarter when it first launched, and now the figures are finally here. From Amazo Toys and Fresh Monkey Fiction, these three figures create many possibilities when it comes to 1/18th scale figures. I picked up one of each of the basic figures- […]
By Nolan P SmithEditor A comic book comes along that sucks you right back into the game every once in a while. Granted- I’ve slowed down on the comic book world these last few months, but AWA Studios’ Primos pulled me back in, and I’m glad it did. From Al Madrigal, Felipe Flores, Carlo Barberi and Brian Reber, and Andworld […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor “Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?” When it comes to children’s television, nothing is more iconic than Sesame Street. It is a street that many of us spent countless hours living on, whether it was in our imagination or sitting in front of the television. It’s a magical […]
By Daniel Schwartz I have always been a big fan of the movie “Pacific Rim” (the first one, not the second). Giant monsters from another dimension fighting giant robots for the sake of humanity is a really great concept and provides a lot of action and adventure. That is why I wanted to pick up the first issue of “We […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor (Minor Spoilers Ahead. If you want to go in completely blind, watch it and then come back.) Scream is a franchise that won’t quit. It’s been over ten years since Scream 4, and with the passing of horror master Wes Craven, the series seemed to be dead. A couple years ago came word that the […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor He is one of the most iconic, classic movie monsters of all time, and thanks to Jada Toys; he has returned as an action figure as a part of their new Universal Monsters line- let’s dive in and check out the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The figure marks one of the first action figures […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor “That’s the thing about stories. They never really end, do they? We’re still telling the same stories we’ve always told. Just with different names. Different faces.” It’s been nearly 20 years since we last visited the world of The Matrix. After the first film became a massive hit, it was hard to watch any media […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Spider-Man: No Way Home is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s the culmination of everything we have seen on the big screen involving our favorite wall-crawling hero. It doesn’t just stay within the confines of the MCU; it reaches all the way back to 2002 when Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man movie starring Tobey Maguire was released. It’s […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Andrew Garfield is in top form in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s directorial debut, Tick, Tick…Boom!. In the film, Garfield plays Broadway pioneer Johnathan Larson as he attempts to get his musical SUPERBIA off the ground and in front of an audience. Along the way, he struggles to maintain his confidence, friendships, and relationship with his girlfriend Susan […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor If you have never played a game in the roguelike genre before, Hades would be a great place to start. For many people, it’s a sometimes frustrating experience, but it’s also highly replayable and rewarding. Think of it as the video game equivalent of “Groundhog Day,” except the world is altered and procedurally generated every […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor What do you get when you mix Disney magic with the genius of songwriter and storyteller Lin-Manuel Miranda? You get Encanto, the studio’s most narratively ambitious animated film to date. It’s a story rooted in culture and family, one that feels deeply personal for a movie of this caliber. Encanto is about the extraordinary Madigral […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor The Annex 2179 line of figures from Toys Alliance got me back into Acid Rain 1/18 scale figures. I loved the original Acid Rain figures- the details, the excellent storage container packaging they came in, they were like the Hot Toys of 1/18 scale figures. But I eventually stopped collecting Acid Rain until Annex 2179 […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor For this review, I take a look at the Joy Toy Skeleton Forces-Grim Reaper’s Vengeance (Type C) figure. If you aren’t familiar with Joy Toy, think premium G.I. Joe figures. I have checked out a few Joy Toy figures in the past and have been very impressed, this one is no different. Grim Reaper’s Vengeance […]
By Jason T. Smith Creative Editor Thanks to the folks at Bluefin, today I take a look at one of the most anticipated action figure releases of the year- the Miles Morales Spider-Man figure from Sentinel. Based on the amazing animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. This is a great figure, let’s go ahead and say that first off. The […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor I’ll be honest right off the bat- I am not familiar at all with League of Legends. I know it’s a game and has an animated movie coming out soon, but that’s it. So when I got my hands on a League of Legends action figure, I was a bit thrown off. But even if […]
By Rebecca Benson Families stooped over, carefully eyeing the pumpkins for picking–right off the vine. The cool, crisp air Fall brings stings your cheeks; the cold settling over your skin as you gaze at the surrounding hillsides. And what better way to end the Fall festivities and keep on with the Halloween spirit than to watch Disney’s The Muppets Haunted […]
By Daniel Schwartz Tales of the gods walking the Earth in human form are as old as time. From Zeus to the homeless woman on “Sons of Anarchy,” these deities have always had a purpose for being on our planet. What if the gods were not here by choice? What if those gods were put on Earth intentionally to keep […]
