For a pandemic year so much amazing has come out, we couldn’t help, but expand the guide into multiple pages, each with their own category. Here are our favorite books and board games (and game related books) of 2021, there are also, some board games from prior years on here. Because of the pandemic we…
EuroCultAV Holiday Gift Guide 2021 – Part III – Music
Look, I know a lot of you Spotify or YouTube your music, and hey I’m guilty of that as well, but I still buy a ton of physical releases every year, and almost every one of these artists on this list I’ve bought something from (well the ones without a signature are my recommendations), because…
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 – Fizban’s Treasure of Dragons – Wizards of the Coast
So I had heard rumors of Dragonlance coming back to Dungeons and Dragons in 2021, and what I had hoped that meant was the campaign setting as a whole, what we ended up getting was nonetheless an awesome option that is written from the perspective of one of the settings most famous characters Fizban the…
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 – Franco Noir – Death Whistles the Blues/Rififi in the City (Severin Films)
My name is Scott MacDonald and I am addicted to Jess Franco films. If you’ve been reading this website for the past 13 years as I’m sure at least a few of you have, you might be aware of this, so needless to say when this found its way into my mailbox it immediately become…
UHD Review – Maniac Cop 2/3 – Blue Underground
Bill Lustig will probably go down in the annals of cinema as the director to use the word Maniac in his titles more than any other. His first film is the sleazy, over the top slasher classic Maniac (also my favorite slasher film ever). He followed that film up with the similarly excellent Vigilante (starring…
Blu-ray Review – Eloy de la Iglesia’s Quinqui Collection (Severin)
Review—Eloy de la Iglesia’s Quinqui Collection (Severin) Author: Palo Sionoplia I’ve seen more cult films than you’ve had hot dinners. On demand, I can rattle off multi-page lists of gialli, yakuza films, SOV disasterpieces, Bollywood classics…you get the picture. Two weeks ago, I couldn’t tell you a thing about the Quinqui genre. Thanks to Severin,…
Tabletop Review – Anomaly – Tabletop Tycoon (Starling Games)
Anomaly by Starling Games -Ryan Miller I have very little experience with deduction and hidden movement based games. I played AEG’s fantastic Ninja: Legend of the Scorpion Clan long ago when(back when L5R was still fun), but beyond that, I can’t say I have much exposure to them. I want to thank Starling Games for…
