It’s On!! The Apple TV vs. Amazon Fire Stick Review

by April Carvelli June 5, 2015

written by April Carvelli

Streaming is the way to watch your favorite programs these days. It used to be that streaming was something you did on your PC or laptop, but with the high quality shows that are currently offered everyone want to sit back in comfort and stream on the big screen.

As consumption of high quality streaming has increased, so has the demand for streaming equipment. Two such devices are the Apple TV and the Amazon Fire Stick.

The Units

Amazon Fire TV

Amazon Fire is the streaming service offered by Amazon; you can access Fire through either the Amazon Fire Stick or the Amazon Fire Box. One obvious difference is their size, one is a set-top box and the other is a dongle. Both units have very similar features, a few of the differences are;

Fire TV Box has 5.1 surround sound
Fire TV Box has access to all of the Fire TV compatible games, Fire Stick has limited compatibility
Fire TV Box has access to all of the Fire TV apps, Fire Stick has limited compatibility
Fire TV Box has some voice control capabilities
Fire TV Box has 8GB storage with 2GB memory while the Fire stick has 8GB storage and only 1GB memory
Fire TV Box is compatible with most USB devices including Xbox 360 controllers
Fire TV Box is compatible with most Bluetooth enabled devices, while the Fire Stick is only compatible with Bluetooth game controllers.

So unless you really want the gaming, apps or Bluetooth features, the $30 price difference between them isn’t really worth it.

Apple TV

Apple only has one option which is a set-top box.

The Price

The Apple TV set-top box costs you about $69 dollars, while the Amazon Fire TV box will run you $99. However, the Amazon Fire TV Stick will only cost you $40.

As earlier stated you don’t have much reason to look at the Amazon Fire Box, so from here out we will just be comparing the Apple TV features against the Amazon Fire Stick features.

The Remote

Both companies package a remote with their units. Both remotes are relatively simple, however Amazons has more buttons while Apple relies more on their multi-purpose wheel. It’s more of a personal preference when it comes to which remote is better.

The Applications

Both offer very similar applications including the popular Netflix and Hulu. Amazon however offers Prime Instant Video to their Prime members. Both offer HBO GO, however only Apple currently has HBO Now which lets you watch HBO without a cable subscription. Fire TV currently has a deal with Dish Network Sling TV which will let it integrate their Live TV content into your Amazon Fire content.

When it comes to apps Apple has Airplay which allows you to stream applications from an iPhone or iPad to your Apple TV. Fire TV lets you download from a selection of games and use a bluetooth enabled controller to play them with.
Amazon has a wide variety of apps that you can search and add to your system as you want, Apple is a closed system that only adds new apps when they do a system upgrade.

The Winner

In my opinion the Fire TV stick is the way to go. You have more apps, more room for expansion and it is cheaper. The only thing I see that might flip the tables in Apple TV’s favor is HBO Now, but I have a feeling it won’t be long before we see it offered on others services too.

A Story of Genocide and Revenge – Operation Nemesis: A Devil’s Due Graphic Novel

by Manny Popoca June 4, 2015

written by Manny Popoca

What is Operation Nemesis the graphic novel about:

Writer Josh Blaylock has taken two of my loves which are comic books and my appreciation of finding out actual historical facts by doing ones own research. Josh, blended the two into one deep dark courtroom drama later turned spy thriller. Blaylock has brilliantly interwoven the two worlds of comics and history into one heart stopping tale that is almost too disturbing to even read…..but you must keep on reading for you too must find out the truth by the end. During the backdrop of the horrid secret killings that took place in the 1890’s and ultimately culminated in the mass genocide of the late 1910’s amongst the chaos of WWI.

Operation Nemesis the graphic novel untangled what the public knows of the true-life events of an assassination on the open streets of Germany during broad daylight, that eventually saw the very same assassin go to public court in the most tumultuous trial of its time!

Then we get to the actual truth of a super secret spy mission named Operation Nemesis. A mission set out to avenge the genocide of 1.7 million of their own Armenian people.

What Josh Blaylock has done with his story:

Josh Blaylock the comic book writer, most well-known for his independent self-created company Devil’s Due, has penned quite the creative tale with Operation Nemesis. As Josh points out in the intro, his past work has been filled by more what you would call a true comic book material background like G.I. Joe, Mercy Sparx and Voltron. Josh has never embarked on a tale of not only this magnitude but also a tale of real graphic history. Josh pulled it off flawlessly with the help of artist Hoyt Silva, some very passionate fellow researchers and producer to the book David H. Krikorian.

For one, this is not just a simple single tale. Josh not only handled his writing duties but also had the painstaking task of piecing together an age-old court trial and digging into the past to find truth along with what has been fabricated. Fabricated for what end cause? Josh and the fantastic artist of the graphic novel have told a tale that can be understood from the desolate viewpoint of those Armenians in persecution and of the assassin who was thrust into such a public trial. Quite the feat to take on but Operation Nemesis gives you all of this nicely packaged into a well written and illustrated graphic novel.

The records show what the public was supposed to hear….to finally uncover the atrocities of a nations mass genocide, the killing of an entire race by the hands of another nation. What really happened in the background to avenge those deaths is the stuff of legend.

News inserts and the ending of the book:

One thing I personally like to do is my very own fact checking when I’m learning something for the first time from a book, movie or TV show. I like to read the differences of what the public sees compared to the actual truth of the matter. Blaylock has already prepared all of that for you in the Operation Nemesis graphic novel. With the additions of the bone-chilling news clippings, pictures and trial records of the events that took place 100 years ago, it gives much validity and voice to all those souls lost in the Armenian genocide!

The unspoken genocide which took place in a time with no internet or instant news with the capability to give the public those graphic pictures for people at the time to confirm. These were different times and sadly not much proof can be found of what really happened. But there is some proof; there are some survivors of the genocide, the genocide has been confirmed by many nations around the world and 40 of our U.S. States recognize and condemn Turkey for not taking responsibility or even acknowledging the truths.

My Recommendation:

A book I give 5 our of 5 stars! Reads better then most courtroom drama movies!

Honestly I don’t think I could recommend a book any higher! It’s perfect for a comic fan, a history buff and a historical fact finder, Operation Nemesis gave me so much that I enjoyed to read and didn’t enjoy to learn about (the mass gruesome killings). That is history though…..we all learn from our pasts and the past is not always pretty. Operation Nemesis is a look back at an event in time the general public is not even aware of.

The story telling does jump around a bit like a novel would and could get someone confused when a new character or name is introduced but not yet seen. Trust me, by the time you get to finish reading the captivating complex story-lines involved, it all comes together like a puzzle you can fully take in by the end. Operation Nemesis graphic novel is a MUST OWN/BUY!

Let us take a look back at what history has told us of the events found in Operation Nemesis:

As I said, I LOVE to do my very own history fact-checking and, after learning of the atrocities of the Armenian genocide and reading Operation Nemesis, I have come to a deep understanding and awareness of its place in history and how it affected so many lives.

During the final years of the Ottoman Empire, history tells of a long aged genocide of an estimated 1.5 million Armenian victims; the persecution was in the years 1894 to 1896. With World War I in progress, the Turks accused the (Christian) Armenians liable to ally with the enemy Russia, and the Turks used this as a pretext to keep up their killings and the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians entire Armenian population as supposed enemies within the Turks empire. All the killings is finally culminating into the events of the Armenian genocide in 1915 and 1916.

The Turkish governments since that time has widely rejected charges of such a genocide. The Turkish official stance on the matter is that those Armenians who died were simply in the way of a war or that any killings of Armenians were justified by their individual or collective support for the enemies of the Ottoman Empire. After almost a decade of cover-ups and denials of their actions, the leader Turks finally met their demise – That is where Operation Nemesis comes in.

The Armenian Genocide was studied and inspired a young German dictator named Adolf to a plan of action for his future rise to power. Hitler would use the Armenian genocide in his speeches to justify his ethnic cleaning of the Jews to start WWII.

Lip Sync Battle Goes Down with a Queen vs a Jester! Queen Latifah vs Marlon Wayans!

by Manny Popoca May 29, 2015

written by Manny Popoca

Hip Hop legend and icon Queen Latifah came to throw down vs Marlon Wayans from the Wayans brothers.

This weeks Lip Sync Battle was a good one folks!!

First Round:
Marlon Wayans came out to make the people “Happy” with Pharrell William’s over-played radio hit song. Let’s not forget the “Pharrell” Smokey the Bear hat made an appearance as well. As you could expect Marlon was an endless ball of over-the-top acting and expressions to get his laughs from the crowd. That was surely not enough for the super sexy Queen with her hot play on En Vogue’s Classic 90’s song “Never Gonna Get It”.

http://youtu.be/TsBh35z9cUU
Second Round:
With a slow but playful classic “Stay With Me” Marlon tried to muck it up for the crowd but seemed very lack-luster to me. On the other hand the Queen stole the show When the she took to the stage and seemed to shock even LL Cool J with one of his own classic hip hop rendition “Rock the Bells”.

http://youtu.be/4XrKYYO65c4

In one of the best celebrity battles in some time, Lip Sync Battle is back on the HOT radar!! I can’t wait for the next one!

PopCultHQ: CBS “Supergirl” Pilot Review!

by Christian Kern May 22, 2015

written by Christian Kern

I was able to watch the pilot for the new CBS Supergirl series coming up in November. As a whole it’s not a bad beginning for a new comic series. While it has some hang ups, I’m going to try and be positive before I become negative.

A little about the pilot:

24 years ago, Krypton was destroyed and Superman was sent to us. So Kara comes from Krypton and was sent to protect him. If anything she is the older cousin now and Kal-EL is the younger cousin. This is a first. So Kara, in theory, serves as the Eradicator in this instance. However, Kara was lost in the Phantom Zone. Superman saves her when she crashes on Earth, sort of a reference to her first appearance. She is sent to be raised by the Danvers, scientists who helped Kal-El understand his powers growing up. The Danvers are played by both Dean Cain and Helen Slater, both known for their past portrayals as Superman and Supergirl.

Superman rescues Kara El from a pod

Kara has grown up, a girl without a mission now, and was raised to fit in with the people of Earth. Obviously Earth didn’t need another hero aside from Superman so Kara ends up working for Cat Grant in National city, who owns a huge multinational media corporation. Calista Flockhart’s Cat Grant is like Bizarro Ally McBeal. Cat comes across a bit too much Meryl Streep from The Devil Wears Prada. However, Melissa Benoist, who is Supergirl, is not Anne Hathaway. She fluctuates between being a strong minded woman and a mild mannered clutz like the Reeves version of Superman. Not so much a clutz but more timid and quiet.

Kara is introduced to the world much like her cousin had been in the John Byrne 80s revamp and the film Man of Steel by saving a plane which is having troubles in the air. The plane, I imagine, is a reference to both of these versions of Superman as with the event taking place at night is no coincidence since Superman saved Lois Lane from a falling helicopter at night in the very first Superman film. News media does address the damage which she has caused from saving the plane. Kara is utterly elated that she was able to save this plane. Her ‘sister’, Alex Danvers, was on the plane and is the naysayer for her adoptive sister to become the world’s next huge hero.

Some things to watch out for:

There is a Metropolis and Superman is known. This however does bring into question… will we ever see him? Superman’s face was obscured from any shot he was in briefly in the beginning of the episode. The costume though does have some resemblance to the Man of Steel costume.

Jimmy Olsen played by Mehcad Brooks who, while I am mostly opposed to changing the color of characters, I am more relieved he is a man in this over a woman. Brooks’ Jimmy Olsen is nothing like we have ever known. He’s confident which is something different from the other TV/ film incarnations of the character of the past. Jimmy was sent to National City to aid Kara. This is where she acquires the cape as Jimmy gives her the blanket Kal-El was wrapped up in as a baby.

We get a stereotypical scene of Kara trying on various costumes. The end result of the costume is fantastic. Winslow is the first person she actually shows she is Supergirl and he helps her design her costume which looks incredible once completed. An other interesting bit is Winslow is also the Toyman; he is even credited as the Toyman so one is left to wonder who he plays into the greater scheme of things in the series.

The DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations) and Kryptonite make an appearance. The other huge reveal is Alex Danvers and Hank Henshaw are a part of the DEO. Kara’s inadvertently pulled a Kryptonian prison ship, which was sent to the Phantom Zone, free and back to Earth releasing a plethora of detained aliens and superbeings. Hank Henshaw is also the director of the DEO in this city. We all know who Hank Henshaw becomes. I assume due to his New 52 connection to
Supergirl he was included in the supporting cast.

Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant from ‘Supergirl’

The villain of the episode is Vartox, who is a long standing Superman villain pre-Crisis villain. It’s cute how Vartox uses the same means to contact Supergirl that Lex Luthor uses in Superman the Movie. Vartox is a Phantom Zone escapee who was sentenced their by Kara’s mother, Lara Lor-Van. The fight between Supergirl and Vartox is fantastic!

General Zod is now a woman and the aunt of Kara Zor-El. Well it could be General Zod; the woman is Kryptonian and the aunt of Kara and referred to as General.

The downside of this pilot is the beating over the head about feminism. It happens very seldom and isn’t done a lot but when it is done it is way over done. For instance, Cat Grant names the mystery flying woman, ‘Supergirl,’ thus giving her a name and a brand. However Kara fights Cat over the name because it comes across anti-feminist. The same is when she confronts Vartox. He comments on how in his world women bow down before men. Another scene is when Henshaw assumes Supergirl isn’t strong enough to defeat Vartox because she is a girl. It comes across a bit much. I just hope the show doesn’t go out of it’s way to have a message or an agenda. It doesn’t need that because it can be extremely feminist and pro-woman without bashing us over the head.

The second downside is the whole shared universe aspect which was announced back in November…

In November 2014, Berlanti expressed interest in Supergirl existing in the same universe as his other series Arrow and The Flash, and in January 2015, The CW president Mark Pedowitz revealed that he was also open to a crossover between the series and networks (due to Berlanti executive producing all three and The CW co-owned by CBS). However, Tassler stated that month that, “those two shows are on a different network. So I think we’ll keep Supergirl to ourselves for awhile.”

I was looking forward to a shared universe with Arrow and Flash, however the inclusion of Superman always left me wondering how does his existence impact the other two series. Supergirl will probably remain on her own. Perhaps it’s not so much a downer but a blessing in disguise. I’m just not a fan of so many disconnected DC series on TV but that is another monster of discussion.

The series comes across light and full of color. The characters are down to Earth and very fun. The creative team sets the pace and lays out her new mission on Earth with a deeper plan and plot regarding all these escaped aliens. Kara is paired with working with the DEO and almost everyone seems to know Kara Danvers is Supergirl or so it comes across.

All-in-all this should be a fun series.

Lip Sync Battle Turns Up The Heat in the Hough #DWTS Showdown!

by Manny Popoca May 15, 2015

written by Manny Popoca

Julianne Hough and Derek Hough, the super sexy sibling rivals and multi-champions from Dancing With The Stars fame, had the most epic of showdowns on last night’s Lip Sync Battle!

Things seemed tame enough in the usual first round of Lip Sync Battle as Derek Hough took to the stage first with a pelvic thrust happy rendition of Macklemore’s “Can’t Hold Us Down”!

Little sister Julianne shocked the crowd by doing “All About the Bass” and bringing on stage the actual Meghan Trainor! A great moment indeed but the best was still yet to come.

https://youtu.be/1ICulktU-UM

The second round of Lip Sync Battle was once again hilarity at its best. Derek Hough had the crown and myself laughing ourselves silly as Derek did the most crazy version of Sia “Chandelier” and that’s saying a lot after what Jim Carrey did to that song on SNL.

NOTHING could have prepared the audience for what was about to come next as Julianne Hough brought down the house with the nastiest sex song I’ve ever heard! I couldn’t even tell you whose song it was I was dying of laughter as the words ‘I just had sex’ sung by Akon and ‘penis’ being rapped was all I could hear as Julianne gave one titillating performance. Just the reaction from older brother Derek after witnessing his sister do the most dirty dancing ever was priceless. Of course Julianne won last night’s sibling rivalry battle and Derek just asked his little sister to ‘never do that ever again!’ Another LSB classic moment!

https://youtu.be/WYetZzlVOLI

Once again Lip Sync Battle provided another great night of entertainment and next week looks just as spectacular as Hip-Hop legends and female pioneers Salt and Pepa will face one another in an ultimate ladies night showdown!

PopcultHQ’s Review of Devils Due’s Smash Hit: Squarriors

by Manny Popoca May 12, 2015

written by Manny Popoca

In an alternate world where man has mysteriously gone extinct and the woodland creatures find themselves with an intellectual awareness that they have never possessed before, we find tribes of creatures who, in order to survive, must become the Squarriors!

“Squarrrrrriorrrsssssss come out and playyyyyyyyyy” That’s the mantra everyone should scream to Ashley and Ash (Team Ash), the creators of Squarriors, at every comic con you see them at. Squarriors is by far the raddest new comic book to hit the comic stands in a very long time and I am endlessly excited to get each new issue of this fresh new take on epic story telling.

When I now find myself reading less and less superhero type comic books, I was completely blown away at just the concept Ash Maczko (writer) came up with on Squarriors. Before even reading the series, I had a strong feeling I would like this comic book…..once I got done reading the first two issues I was so greatly satisfied with the mind-numbing epic I was just about to head on. I have not felt this way about a new comic book story in a long time and it has nothing to do with hype or flashy costumes!!

Since I want to write a review that is not quite a review, because honestly I don’t want to spoil a single thing for any future Squarriors readers, but I have to at least give people a taste. Here is what I’ll do… Ash Maczko and I did a great interview on Squarriors you can also read here on PopcultHq, so this review will be mostly on Ashley Witter’s most spectacular artwork in the Squarriors series.

Interview with Squarriors writer/creator Ash Maczko

From the start of Issue #1 you know you’re not looking at your average bulk and muscle superhero artist. Ashley Witter obviously comes from a very well taught background in fine arts and if she is not, that goes to show even more so how talented this artist is.

As a 30 year comic book fan, I personally fall in love with the artist side of comic books hence why I mostly interview artists not writers…..joke. Seriously though, I do follow artist careers more closely so when I say that Squarriors is quite possibly the most beautiful looking artwork in all of comics, I’m not just saying so. The last time I felt such richness in artwork and coloring was during the Marvel’s Origin: Wolverine mini-series with artwork by Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove. That mini-series sets the bar for me on the finest possible collaboration between artist and colorist. Squarriors is the first comic book in years to make me feel such depth of a dramatic new epic that is about to begin while at the same time giving my eyes such richness to take in with its artwork.

To be a fair critic, the only thing I had trouble with in Squarriors that I hope the creators take as constructive criticism is this… one thing I have learned from the great writers and artists I have met over the many years around the comic book industry has been storytelling by panel. Every panel should be able to tell a part of the grand-scale of the story without using words. You should be able to follow a book smoothly on just the artwork alone with the words being the glue to the mold. There were few (very few) panels that were hard to follow or know exactly what was happening without having to piece it together with the surrounding panels. This, of course, comes with experience and working together for a long time, which I really hope Team Ash sticks together for decades because together they are dynamic storytellers on their own rights!!

Squarriors is so HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me and is definitely on my MUST BUY lists!! With only two issues out so far it’s a great series to jump on now…..if you can find a copy!! No worries even if you cannot find a copy in a local comic shop there is always digital ComiXology version. Be sure to check out issue #3 when it comes to stores in June!

Batman: Arkham Knight – All You Need To Know About Upcoming Release!

by Jason Bennett May 5, 2015

written by Jason Bennett

Cover photo of Batman: Arkham Knight

On June 23, 2015 the next installment of the Batman: Arkham series of video games will be released. The highly anticipated game, Batman: Arkham Knight, is set one year following the events of Batman: Arkham City. Batman, at the top of his game, is on the hunt for the Scarecrow, who is rounding up Gotham’s villains in an attempt to kill the caped crusader. The game received a “Mature” rating, rather than the typical “Teen” one they receive. This is due to the existence of scenes where players can shoot unarmed characters and a hostage, and torture scenes taking place on a bloody operating table. Despite the more stringent rating, the developers did not want to make any changes to bring it to “Teen” status. They felt that would detract from their vision and story.

Batman as seen in Batman: Arkham Knight

If you are unfamiliar with the premise, here is the game synopsis, courtesy of GameStop.com…

In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady‘s uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Batman Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City. Be The Batman.

GameStop’s Batman: Arkham Knight Story Packs

GameStop actually has a pretty sweet deal if you pre-order through their website. You will have the ability to play as the Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and receive 4 exclusive challenge maps. This offer is only available through GameStop but seems well worth it. WB Games has also announced you can purchase a Season Pass which will include a DLC to play as Batgirl. This is just some of what that looks like:

Batgirl: A Matter of Family – An all new prequel story expansion in an entirely new location where you play as Batgirl for the very first time in the Arkham series – check out the first render of Batgirl.

The Season of Infamy – Play as Batman in all new story missions featuring legendary super-villains invading Gotham City, with new story arcs, missions and gameplay features.

Gotham City Stories – Play as Batman’s key allies in narrative missions extending their storylines, from both before and after the events in Batman: Arkham Knight.

Legendary Batmobiles with Themed Tracks – Drive the most iconic Batmobiles from Batman’s 75-year history, on custom-built race tracks, each themed to that Batmobile’s specific era. Every Batmobile will be drivable across every race track.

Crimefighter Challenge Maps – Engage in a series of new challenge maps utilizing the unique play styles of Batman and his allies.

Character Skins – A variety of skins from across the eras for Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman.

Batgirl from Batman: Arkham Knight

The game has already received numerous accolades. Here are the notable praises for this game:

Game Informer declared it “Best Action Game” @ E3 (June 2014)
IGN awarded it the “Best Xbox One Game” @ E3 (2014) and was runner-up for “Best PS4 Game“
The Game Critics Awards in 2014 gave the game the “Best Action/Adventure Game” award
