Reptile’s Random Reviews: ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’

,

As many of you, already know The Dark Crystal was an awesome movie from 1982. The movie was written, directed, and starred Jim Henson and his Muppets. This was a family-level adventure movie that stayed in the hearts and minds of many. It’s also a movie which has stood the test of time and is still as enjoyable as the day it was first released. With that said, when I heard Netflix was making a sequel I was quite skeptical.  I was thinking they were taking another classic movie I love and making a mess of it.  Then I saw

[Book Review] Baen Books: ‘Hoka! Hoka! Hoka!’

THE HOKAS ARE BACK IN THIS CLASSIC OF HUMOROUS SF FROM POUL ANDERSON AND GORDON R. DICKSON. The Interbeing League had been formed to make contact with new intelligent races in the galaxy and offer them membership. But when the League encountered the Hokas, furry creatures strongly resembling the teddy bears of Earth, the League’s agent, Alexander Jones, could have been excused for wishing he had a simpler assignment than making sense out of the Hokas—such as singlehandedly stopping an interstellar war. Not that the fuzzy aliens were unfriendly. In fact, they loved everything about humans, and adopted various Terram

[A-to-Z] Lesser-Known Villains of Batman: Anarky | Black Spider

, ,

Supervillains are as well-known in comics and mainstream media as their heroic counterparts. Joker, Lex Luthor, Red Skull, Thanos, all these names can be sounded off and any person on the street is bound to know one or all of them. But what about the villains that everyone else doesn’t know about? The bad guys and girls who often fly under the radar, either because they don’t last very long or because they don’t generate quite the exciting stories that their peers in super-crime do. This year marks the 80th birthday of the Batman. 80 years of the Dark Knight

[Movie Review] Reptile’s Random Reviews: ‘Batman vs. Two-Face’

A flashback in time all the way back to 1966…well, 2017. Batman vs. Two-Face is a fitting final appearance of our beloved campy 1966 Batman. DC Animation did a great job of capturing the corny, campy version of Batman that made him a highly-anticipated, weekly primetime show back in the day.  When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to see the next episode and how Batman and Robin were going to escape whatever dastardly plan their archenemies had in store for them. In this animated film, DC not only brought back many of the original 1966 villains, but also

[Video Interview] SDCC 2019: Phillip Sevy of Dark Horse Comics’ TRIAGE – The Sci-Fi Epic Arrives This September

PopCultHQ made an appearance for a couple of days at this year’s 50th Annual Comic Con International: San Diego 2019. Knowing our time was limited, we knew we couldn’t spread ourselves too thin by conducting interviews from multiple publishers. Between the huge layout and the packed aisles with fans, rushing around the convention floor didn’t make much sense as we also tried to enjoy the event a little. So the decision was made to streamline the interviews we were going to conduct at SDCC by focusing on one publisher. From our previous enjoyable experience at NYCC 2017, it was a
