Tabletop Review – Scythe – Stonemaier Games

Scythe Review by Ryan Miller (July 2021) By now I shouldn’t have to tell you what a great game Scythe is. In the five years since it arrived on game shelves it has garnered countless rave reviews as a damn near perfect game and it even sits comfortably on Board Game Geek’s top twenty resting…


Tabletop Review – Red Rising – Stonemaier Games

When Stonemaier announced they were creating a board game based on the Red Rising Science Fiction novel series, I almost instantly wrote it off. Stonemaier is an often celebrated game company for their diverse and unique catalog of board games, so why would they tarnish that streak with an existing IP? Jamey Stegmaier, one half…


Tabletop Review – Dungeons and Dragons – Wild Beyond the Witchlight – Wizards of the Coast

I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons, basically since 2E in the early 90’s. I say basically since my first edition was a “Classic” box I bought earlier. If there is one thing D&D (or AD&D when I started) was and is known for it is combat. For the last year and a half I’ve been…

Blu-ray Review – Weird Wisconsin – The Bill Rebane Collection

I legitimately enjoy Bill Rebane movies, I saw Monster a Go Go originally when the Somethng Weird DVD release, and yeah, it’s bad, but I found it enjoyable. I was introduced to Rebane’s work sometime as a teenager in the 90’s when a TV screening in the middle of the night showed up the Giant…


The Gestapo’s Last Orgy Blu-ray review

The Gestaopo’s Last Orgy is an Italian Nazi exploitation film directed and co-written by Cesare Canevari and starring Daniela Poggi. It’s one of the sleaziest films in cinema and not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs. Lise Cohen (Daniela Levy aka Daniela Poggi, Speed Cross, Last Harem), a Jewish WWII survivor…


UHD Review – The Final Countdown – Blue Underground

Where does one begin with a film like this. As fresh as fresh eyes get, this was my first time seeing this and while the presentation likely can’t get any better, the film itself left me somewhat wanting. Top name actors giving top notch performances that we’ve all come to expect, in fact I’d say…


Blu-ray Review – The Laughing Dead – Vinegar Syndrome

A bunch of knuckleheads led by Father O’Sullivan (Tim Sullivan) are heading down to Mexico for an archeological fieldtrip. Along the way, the bus stops off to pick up single mom Tessie and her son Ivan (the terrible) who are also along for the ride. This makes things just a bit awkward as she and…
