Mashup Drawings: Responsible Road Warriors
Last week, I took a break from conquering the drift racing scene and let off some steam by doing some drawing. I’m still very much a novice with Procreate (the application I’m using to draw), but I’ve been impressed with the flexibility it offers and the breadth of its toolbox. Naturally, I decided to draw…

The Final Girl Support Group: A Zandor Review
If there are two things you need to know about Zandor, they are: 1) he is enthralled by anything and everything related to 1980’s horror, and 2) he speaks exclusively in the third person.

Review: Resident Evil (Netflix)
Remember when I opened up about my collection of Lance Reddick body pillows? I saw that as a fun way of connecting with my audience (and removing the stigma from gettin’ snuggly with Lance). What was the harm? Resident Evil was the harm. See, if I’m going to be able to show my face at…

Review: The Boys, Season 3, Episode 8
[Updated 7/16: I put in more jokes and made some grammatical tweaks.] Let’s get into it. The Instant White-Hot Wild[1] starts with pedal firmly applied to metal: the government is preparing to search Vought Tower for information on Maeve’s whereabouts (thanks to Annie’s social media campaign). Can you imagine the shitshows that would ensue if…
