Revisiting Spaced (1999-2001)

By

This show doesn't need a review. If you are a fan of the work of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost you already know this UK sitcom was what put them in everyone's pop-culture radar. This series is what lead them to making Sean of the Dead (2004) and the rest of The Cornetto Trilogy.

The series is pretty deep when you get past all the laughs, sci-fi, horror, and video game references. It focuses on the struggle a lot of people go through in their young adult lives. The transition into adulthood is a rough one and when you look at what the show revolves around, it's about those struggles. Breaking up, finding a place to live, finding success, finding a job, finding love and the importance of a strong support system around you.

Even though the show is based in the UK, it can represent the struggle a lot of gen-exer's go through anywhere. If you are in the struggle of just trying to to make your way in the world, Spaced serves as a nice way to get you through it with some humor for situations you can relate to.

The complete series is available for purchase and is available for streaming on +Netflix US & Canada

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
