The geek community is made up of various genres. Have you ever wanted to get into a new genre but never knew where to start? Well our heroes and heroine take on that very question. We break down the gateways that lead into a new genre. We hit up everything including anime, comics, gaming (both video and table-top) and even films.
What would you recommend to start with to get into any of these geek genres?
For Mother’s Day weekend, Leland and Spooky decided to check out the infamous 1981 campy-cult-classic flick Mommie Dearest. Nothing liking watching a biopic about a crazy woman who beats her kids with wire hangers!
Tune in as we try to understand where, how and why this happened.
On this exciting episode of Comic Issues, we are joined by the latest addition to the PixelatedGeek staff Elizabeth Wallace. Resident book reviewer for the site, Elizabether brings her overall geekdom and quite a knowledge of the Transformers with her.
Join our heroes and heroine this week as they talk about what it’s like to be a girl geek, even hitting up the topic of sexuality in comics.
Well this is the day Leland and Spooky have been waiting for The Avengers opens today. So in honor of that, we watched the 1998 classic The Avengers.
This is a truly terrible, terrible film that should never be seen again. Based on the 1960s TV show: this brought an old James Bond, Voldemort and Poison Ivy together on screen, and Spooky’s never been the same. So drop on in and listen as we try to understand what was just going on in this movie.
With Avengers debuting in theaters this Friday, our heroes assemble to discuss the iconic comic book team. Join us as we relive our favorite moments in Avengers history, touching base on our favorite stories, villains and even Avengers.
Drop us a line and let us know who your favorite Avenger is.
This week Spooky and Leland take a trip back to the wild west to rob some banks and to be wanted dead or alive by the law. We take a look at 2001s American Outlaws. A young Colin Farrell, that guy from the Oceans movies, the Spirit and that chick from Heroes all get together and try to be the new Young Guns. Well that didn’t happen. Come watch with us and you’ll know why too.
Louis Lane, intrepid reporter for the Daily Planet. Also what seems to be a bit of a thrill seeker. What other supporting characters also exhibit these oddities of issues?
Join our heroes this week as they look at the supporting characters in Comics and see just what issues they all have. Then it’s off to talk about those lovely folks that help the Geek Industry, by creating the very content that we consume. Who are these Artists, Writers and Creators?
Well this week Spooky and Leland decide to take a trip into the world of “drama”. They watched The Beaver. Yes…. The Beaver.
The film where Mel Gibson talks to people and his family though a puppet of a beaver. Yup. Not only was that movie made. We watched it. So join us as we try to understand this movie.
What makes a superhero? Is it the emblem or logo?
Our crack Comic Issues crew talks about just that: the very best logos and also the very worst. Then it’s time to hit up the latest from Marvel and DC Animation. As we discuss both the Marvel Universe and DC Nation, does our Spidey Sense tingle for the new Ultimate Spiderman Series, or would we rather head off into space with the Green Lanterns?
Well it was bound to happen again. Here it is, yet another Friday the 13th. So in typical Movie Issues fashion, we cover another Friday the 13th movie. This time we do 1989′s Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Or: it should be called “Jason Takes a Cruise” because he doesn’t do much in the movie. This is a rough one, and Spooky gets a little sea-sick. Join us as we try to wade though this horrible plot and even worse effects.
Happy Friday the 13th everyone!
