Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Palo Sinoplia “My Name Is..” For the past two decades, Schooly D’s opening salvo has served as the calling card for what is arguably Adult Swim’s flagship series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It is hard to believe that we have been entertained by (or, alternatively, subjected to) the misadventures of…

DVD Review – The Ultimate Richard Pryor Collection – Time Life
As a kid it seemed Richard Pryor was everywhere. I’d turn on my TV, and see him on channel 4 in Silver Streak or Brewster’s Millions turn on Comedy Central and see some old Pryor routine in the middle of the night. The man was a legend, and by the 90’s that legend was firmly…
DVD Review – Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In – The Complete Series
Before there was Saturday Night Live and beating Monty Python’s Flying Circus by a year (more years if you count how long it took to import it to America) was Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Dick Martin and Dan Rowan’s sketch comedy show was not the first sketch comedy show to hit American airwaves, not by…
DVD Review – Austin City Limits Country – Time Life

Doctor Who: The Sunmakers (BBC Video) DVD Review
Being a Doctor Who fan who only caught glimpses of the series on PBS as a kid, I feel there is a lot I missed out on. If you were to ask me the name of one complete serial I saw from my childhood, I couldn’t tell you a single one. However, I do recognize…
Doctor Who : Time and the Rani (BBC) DVD Review
I personally believe it’s easier to write about things you are disappointed with than things that you are pleased with. Doctor Who is my favorite show, probably favorite media, of all time, so I am usually very forgiving in my reviews of the show in any of it’s forms. I have seriously loved episodes like…
Blu-ray Review – Rising of Shield Hero (S1 Parts 1 and 2, Funimation)
Rising of the Shield Hero is a 2019 anime series by Studio Kinema, who made one of my recent favorite anime series, Made in Abyss. Knowing this going in I was already excited. I know there are plenty of anime series that involve normal people entering fantasy universes so that tempered my expectations slightly, but…
