Weekend Roundtable: Silence, Please

Josh Zyber — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 17:00:33 +0000

Most modern movies, especially Hollywood movies, are all about bang and boom and bombast. The new horror thriller ‘A Quiet Place’ bucks that trend, and has been rewarded with both critical acclaim and box office success for it. This week’s Roundtable highlights some other effective uses of silence in movies, TV, and other media. Shannon...

Weekend Roundtable: 1990s TV

Josh Zyber — Fri, 26 May 2017 19:00:46 +0000

With ‘Twin Peaks’ back on the air and a ‘Baywatch’ movie in theaters, 1990s TV shows are having a pretty big week. Excluding those two properties, what other television series did you spend the ’90s watching? Shannon Nutt As many of my Roundtable buddies already know, ‘Twin Peaks’ was my favorite series from the ’90s,...

Second ReAction Worse Than the First

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:00:14 +0000

Last week, I wrote about how disappointed I was with photos of the first wave of “ReAction” retro-style movie and TV action figures from Super7 and Funko. As much as I doubted such a thing was possible, the second wave unfortunately looks even worse. This kills me, because I would really love to have quality...

34 Years Later – ‘Alien’ Action Figures Arrive

Josh Zyber — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 17:00:56 +0000

Delayed for so long that I’d almost forgotten I’d ordered them, the retro-style ‘Alien’ action figures from Super7 finally arrived on my doorstep just in time for Christmas. I’ve recounted the tale behind these movie tie-in toys before. For the benefit of those who haven’t followed the story, here’s an excerpt from my last post...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:00:03 +0000

While the PS4 and Xbox One hog the gaming spotlight this month, we thought that today’s Roundtable might be a good time to look back at some of the best videogames we played on prior platforms. Tell us your favorites too! Adam Tyner (DVDTalk) Intellivision – ‘Burger Time’. I’m kind of old, so I grew...

Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday. Did you remember to mail your mother a nice card and flowers? After everything she’s done for you, a little appreciation is the least you can offer in return. In honor of this most important holiday, we thought that today’s Roundtable would be a good time to celebrate...

Weekend Roundtable: Best & Worst TV Spin-Offs

Josh Zyber — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:00:01 +0000

After seven seasons, TNT’s police drama ‘The Closer’ will end its run this coming Monday, and will be immediately followed by the premiere of its new spin-off series ‘Major Crimes’. While I’ve personally never watched more than five minutes of ‘The Closer’ and have no particular expectations for the new show, this nonetheless put me...

TV Madness 2012: A Look Back

Aaron Peck — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:00:25 +0000

TV Madness isn’t like the Presidential election. Your vote actually matters here. Two votes! The final battle came down to two measly votes. Cameron came into the finals with a nearly indestructible robot skeleton under that nice-looking exterior. Still, that wasn’t enough to fend off Jack Bauer and his action-hero gruff-talk. Bauer’s road to the...

TV Madness: Buffy vs. Cameron

Aaron Peck — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 19:00:21 +0000

The TV Madness Final Four is almost set. We’ll let the Reynolds versus Bauer match-up simmer a little longer before declaring a winner. That battle is still pretty close at this point. There have been some surprises during this tournament, and it’s all come down to this. Let’s find out which characters make it to...

TV Madness: Bauer vs. Reynolds

Aaron Peck — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:00:57 +0000

I know that you’re all dying to know which character really won in the hotly-debated Brisco versus Buffy TV Madness match-up. Unfortunately, we discovered a significant amount of voter fraud in that battle. (Again, this tournament is supposed to be just for fun, people!) We’ll have the answer for you after the jump, along with...

TV Madness: Cameron vs. Banner

Aaron Peck — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:00:54 +0000

While we sort out what we think might be some voter fraud in the Buffy versus Brisco County match-up (yes, really – and I have no idea why someone would go to such lengths to rig an arbitrary contest like this), today’s TV Madness battle will take a look at how a robot from the...
