Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century: The Series
Fantastic from beginning to end. Thirty-eight episodes of pure genius comedy gold. Every episode starts with the theme sung by Mr. Thunderball himself, Tom Jones. That alone would make this show worth it. I loved/was triggered by the episode where Cadet Porky is inexplicably replaced by a buxom bombshell in…

Valentine: The Dark Avenger
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Pretty sure this film’s budget was spent almost entirely on the DVD box art. That being said I’m glad these folks were able to get together and make a nice superhero movie without any money. It gives me hope for… well, life in general. If…

Ghost Ship
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay I’m not into horror. I should say I’m not into most types of horror. I hate supernatural paranormal stuff for the most part because the rules are so ambiguous. It tends to make for bad writing. I hate senseless gore. I’m not into disturbing imagery…

Resident Evil: Vendetta
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay ——-Appearantly there’s a rule in voice acting that states: If a mouth is open, a sound MUST come out of it. I noticed this phenomenon first in the anime movie Steam Boy. Every time the little boy in the film was looking in awe at…

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay —–Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. No matter how much I ponder this concept I can’t seem to shut up. Well I’m happy to loudly and shirtlessly proclaim it was not I eating my own feet,…

Meet John Doe
If this is the only pebble I thow in the pond to make this world a better place, let it be so. You must see this film. “Meet John Doe”. You simply must. In the meantime, I’ve more pebbles to throw.

Dark Tower (The)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay —–I’ve not been able to decide for a long time. Is Stephen King a good writer? I think he must be. His books are very popular after all. I’ve never read them as I am not a fan of horror. There’s obviously a call to…

RIVERDALE IS TALESPIN
A Meandering Rant by Professor Popinjay —–My first encounter with Riverdale was by way of a shirt. A young lady with whom I work was wearing the garment. It bore the image of a good-looking young man, fair of skin, rather forlorn in expression but generally unadorned and unextraordinary in…

Mune
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay This was really good. I’m actually kind of surprised. The story was unique. The characters were interesting and imaginative. It had a good message. It was visually pleasing. The music was great. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the ancient turtle guy kept flirting…

Mummies Alive!
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay So I only watched the first three episodes because that’s all that came on the unmarked vhs tape I found in the abandoned well beneath the floorboards of a strange motel. You know what? I liked it. Considering who it was made for, it wasn’t…
