Movie Review: Deadpool

By Laury Scarbro

The short-short version of the synopsis: Wade Wilson, a.k.a. Deadpool, is a former Special Forces operative who turns mercenary for hire in his civilian life. He meets a girl, they eventually fall in love, and then tragedy strikes. He undergoes an experimental procedure that turns him into a hideous version of his former self, requiring him to wear a suit to hide his appearance. Then he sets out to get revenge on those responsible. And that’s when the real fun starts.

TV Review: Lucha Underground, S3 E05, “The Machine”

By Sachin Hingoo

Last week we saw the debut of Joey Ryan, but that wasn’t the most eventful thing to happen to Joey in the last seven days –our hero momentarily threw off the sleaze to propose to his girlfriend Laura James during a wrestling match. (Caution: Not Safe For Work Environments That Discourage Adorable Things).

Tonight, though, is about violence, and our main event of pretty-man Johnny Mundo versus steroid-man Bryan Cage should be a wild one.

TV Review: Fuller House S1 E03, “Funner House”

By Tyler Hodg

In “Funner House”, the third episode of Fuller House, Stephanie and Kimmy treat DJ to a night out on the town, and the three leads head to a dance club–the type of place the eldest Tanner child hasn’t experienced in a while. The venue is packed with colorful characters, and includes the recurrence of Kimmy’s soon-to-be ex-husband and Ramona’s father, Fernando.

TV Review: Fuller House S1, E02, “Moving Day”

By Tyler Hodg

The second episode of Fuller House dials down the craziness of its predecessor and adds a bit more stability in nearly every aspect. The core characters now have room to breathe and develop without an onslaught of distractions from the older generation. This, of course, is a step in the right direction.

Music Review: Bill Carter, Innocent Victims & Evil Companions

By Melissa Bratcher

Texas-based Bill Carter may be best known for co-writing Stevie Ray Vaughan’s biggest hit, “Crossfire.” You may also know him from “Anything Made of Paper,” written for the West Memphis Three’s Damien Echols, and featured in the documentary West Of Memphis. Or you might know him as a member of the band P, a collaboration with Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes, Johnny Depp, and Sal Jenco. With his newest album, Innocent Victims & Evil Companions, you’ll know him as a songwriter with poetic lyrics, a singer with a fabulous ragged tenor, and the master of fine tunes.

TV Review: Outsiders S1 E03, “Messenger”

By Laury Scarbro

The third installment of Outsiders very much feels like a filler episode, I’m not going to lie to you. But as is common in television, there are times when these kinds of episodes are necessary to build plot, and it’s important to remember that episodes like these are what set up a bigger story later on.

TV Review: The Walking Dead S06 E10 “The Next World”

By Laury Scarbro

After an insane amount of slaughter last week, this week’s episode of The Walking Dead is way more low-key. Except for one thing, that is.

Blu-Ray Review: Creed

By Jeffery X Martin

People forget that Sylvester Stallone wrote and starred in the Best Picture of 1977, Rocky. That’s an Academy Award in the hands of Stallone. Isn’t that odd? We forget about it because Stallone’s output since Rocky has been so spastic. He’s given us fantastic performances, like the half-deaf officer in Cop Land. Then again, he’s also given us three Expendables movies and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Does he hate us? Does he love us? How can we know?
