The 1979 film “The Black Hole” stands as a significant piece of Disney’s cinematic history, not only as their first foray into the science fiction genre but also as the first Disney film to receive a PG rating. Directed by Gary Nelson, the film presents a daring space adventure that explores the mysteries of a […]
So, it’s a new year and how do we begin every new year… with an old movie of course! Today we are watching Disney’s the Black Hole again. The House of Mouse’s non sequitur answer to Star Wars. I find it odd that I love to revisit this film every now and then. You see… […]
If you are a fan of science-fiction from the 1970s, like we are, then this is the intro for you. It has that wonderful Gerry Anderson feel to it. Andor alone is a refreshing show and probably the best Star Wars Disney+ property so far. It’s funny that we should think that since it doesn’t […]

I don’t have much to say about this one. This evening I felt like doing a gender-bent Moon Knight. Nuff’ Said.

The original Scarecrow series of novels was written by Russell Thorndike published in 1915. The first book in the series, “Doctor Syn: A Tale […]
So the new Mando trailer dropped, and I wasn’t really excited for the new season until this. Honestly, I didn’t need another season of the show. It was great as a stand alone story. Too many times have I been let down for a program that never gets that second or third season. Since then […]
