Whether or not you’re excited, or even mildly intrigued, about the RoboCop remake coming to theaters this week one thing is for certain. It can’t be any worse than some of the other RoboCop-related spin-offs floating around out there like so much rectal flotsam from the anal cavity of Hollywood. Take, for instance, Orion Pictures’ […]

There are variety of delivery systems when you need to get your Robocop fix, film being the most obvious choice followed by comic books, toys, novelizations and video games. Heck, there’s even a cartoon series based around everyone’s favorite steel-encased upholder of justice. There’s one more, though, that always seems to fall by the wayside […]

Just because we’ve got our own Kickstarter going on right now doesn’t mean we’re not still backing other, equally awesome projects. Case in point, Lexie Kahanovitz’s gleefully madcap webseries called Super Fun Show, with Learning!.

How do you adapt a hit video game like Double Dragon that’s based around beating up bad guys with your fists, bats, whips, and assorted blunt instruments? Easy! You build the cartoon around mystic, non-violent laser blasting swords and give those to your heroes instead. Not only does it prevent any of that “nasty” hand-to-hand […]

(Re) Animations: Gargoyles (1994)
Even today, Gargoyles is one of the most beloved animated series of all time. And yet, it’s still such an under-utilized franchise. Premiering in 1994, during a time where Disney was really trying to create series with mythos and complexities, Gargoyles stands out as one of company’s most ambitious animated series of the past decade.

Adding to Scotty’s previous point in SBIG: Jingle All the Way about action movie stars and family friendly comedies, particularly holiday-themed comedies, I submit to you an equally desperate sub-class of Hollywood cash grabbing: wrestlers appearing in movies, particularly as violent heroes (or anti-heroes) with a heart of gold. While almost every superstar who’s banked […]
