Undoing the Undead

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Nathan

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness – This is the fourth game in the series, but the number doesn’t officially appear in the title. I think there was kind of a stigma on using numbers for too many sequels at … Continue reading →

Some Guy with a Mop

Posted on September 7, 2025 by Nathan

Fire in the Sky – I knew this movie was about a UFO, but not that much else. It’s pretty insular, really, focusing on a group of lumberjacks in Arizona. One of them, Travis Walton, leaves their truck to check … Continue reading →

Curse, Chorus, Curse

Posted on February 17, 2025 by Nathan

I’ve finally finished watching Once Upon a Time, which I actually started when it was still being made, but stopped for a few years. And it’s taken me a while to get through all of it. I enjoyed it, although … Continue reading →

Teeny Tiny Bat

Posted on November 1, 2022 by Nathan

Halloween has come and gone, and the Great Pumpkin never showed up. Does no one care about sincerity in pumpkin patches anymore? It’s all this commercial farming, I’m sure. Anyway, here are my thoughts on one thing I watched for … Continue reading →

I Guess You Can Kill the Boogeyman After All

Posted on October 16, 2022 by Nathan

I have three movie reviews this time, all of fairly new films, although that wasn’t really intentional. Two are relevant to the Halloween season and one not, and it should probably go without saying that there are SPOILERS for all … Continue reading →

We Belong Dead

Posted on November 8, 2020 by Nathan

Today, I’m back from the dead (that might have worked better if I hadn’t just written yesterday) to talk about three Frankenstein movies. There are SPOILERS for all of them, as well as the original novel. Frankenstein – The original … Continue reading →

Toaderonimo!

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Nathan

I’ve been posting a lot of these episode reviews recently, but I’ve at least tried to break them up somewhat so this blog isn’t All Super Show All the Time. I was wondering before why the order of the episodes … Continue reading →

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em, Then Beat ‘Em

Posted on December 28, 2019 by Nathan

Toad Warriors – This episode seems to be a favorite, or at least it is with the guys who host the podcast on Hard Times. I can’t say I disagree, as I tend to like it when Toad takes a … Continue reading →

You Aren’t Going Nowhere, Fungus

Posted on December 7, 2019 by Nathan

Continued from this post, here are four more Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode reviews: Rolling Down the River – While not exactly the line from “Proud Mary,” they did originally play that song in this episode, earlier in the … Continue reading →
