Dark Horse Comics heads into Ravenloft this August with Amy Chu and Ariela Kristantina bringing gothic horror to #DungeonsAndDragons. Ez D’Avenir vs Viktra Mordenheim has a lovely grim ring to it. #Ravenloft #DarkHorseComics
Two 2026 sci-fi films, one idea. Project Hail Mary vs Iron Lung explores optimism vs dread in isolation storytelling. Here’s my take. #SciFi #ProjectHailMary #Space #moviereview at:
Tommy Johansson deserves way more attention for the sheer range he brings to metal, from Majestica to his gloriously over-the-top YouTube covers of rock favourites and cartoon classics. #TommyJohansson #Majestica #PowerMetal #80s #90s
Nostalgia is getting a darker edge in this next wave of comic book adaptations, from Sleepy Hollow and Ben 10 to Power Rangers and He-Man. Here’s what’s coming next. #comics #animation #powerrangers
Jackie Chan brings the charm, but HuHu steals the spotlight in Panda Plan 2 The Magical Tribe, a family adventure with fantasy, heart, and a surprisingly soft spiritual core. #PandaPlan2 #JackieChan #Animation #moviereview
Set on Vancouver Island, Hunting Matthew Nichols mixes true crime, found footage, and supernatural unease into a regional indie horror worth a look. #HuntingMatthewNichols #HorrorMovies #FoundFootage
The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is back, and I’ve rounded up some standout picks from this year’s lineup, from animation to late-night oddities. #LAAPFF #FilmFestival #Animation #AsianCinema
The Yeti is on digital, and it brings old-school style menace, winter themes and a heroine who never waits. A shaggy pulp horror throwback that can work as a radio drama too! #horror #creaturefeature #TheYeti @wellgousa #moviereview at:
AiNA THE END’s “Luminous” lights up as the new One Piece opening, with a new music video and Asia tour dates now out too. #OnePiece #AiNATHEEND #anime #Jpop info at:
Looks like @telussupport.bsky.social is saying TELUS Optik will no longer carry their Kids Time theme pack with @disneychannel.bsky.social I'm a sad panda.
Dagger of Kamui is still a globe-trotting ninja epic worth revisiting, especially for fans of early Madhouse. This Blu-ray sharpens the image, boosts the audio, and adds a fresh Rintaro commentary. #anime #bluray #Madhouse #review at:
Kimo Stamboel’s Janur Ireng, Sewu Dino the Prequel delivers bleak family horror, black magic, and some genuinely grotesque imagery that lingers. A nasty, atmospheric prequel with regional flavour and bite. #horror #Indonesia #moviereview
Verne Andru answers a few questions ahead of the #documentary he’s working about Rock & Rule Behind the Scenes and what fans may still misunderstand. #Animation #Canada #Kickstarter Part two of our #interview at:
Rock & Rule artist Verne Andru dives into this film’s production, lost materials, effects work in a #documentary preserving its legacy. This #crowdfunding projects hopes you’ll help reach final stretch. #RockAndRule #Animation #interview at:
The #animation releases this April is looking great! From WIT Studio’s Agents of the Four Seasons to BONES’ Daemons of the Shadow Realm and a few wildcards in between, this is what I'll be watching. #amazonprime #appletv #crunchyroll #toppicks
Big cons not in the budget? These Pacific Northwest events prove smaller shows still deliver. From horror to retro gaming, here’s what’s coming up. #comics #cosplay #gaming #pnw
Need a refresher before Ninjago Dragons Rising season 4? Here’s a full recap of season 3, from Thunderfang and the Forbidden Five to Ras, Wu, Arin, and that massive finale twist. #Ninjago #LEGONinjago #Netflix
The truth is somewhere on cable this Spring, Aykroyd, Shatner, and Duchovny are all back, plus a former CIA officer to explain how the machine actually works. #HistoryChannel #discovery #Paranormal #unsolvedmysteries #SpringTV
Takashi Miike’s Blazing Fists has moments of rough street-level spark, even if the sports drama side takes a while to connect. My review is up now. #BlazingFists #TakashiMiike @wellgousa #moviereview at:
Witch Hat Atelier is heading to Crunchyroll, and if the trailer is any sign, Kamome Shirahama’s beautifully imagined fantasy world is about to become one of the most striking anime events of the year. #WitchHatAtelier #Anime #Crunchyroll
A filmed version of Bat Out of Hell The Musical delivers all the bombast, noise, and mythic swagger Jim Steinman fans could want, but the attempt to shape his greatest hits into a coherent dystopian love story remains uneven.
Watched PIXAR's Hoppers three times and still finding new layers. Jon Hamm as a beaver mayor approving freeway construction is the villain origin story we needed. #Hoppers #PIXAR #Animation #FamilyFilm
The Unbeatable Sonya Ballantyne is a quick but meaningful read that hits harder than expected. #Indigenous #graphicnovel #superhero #popculture
Peter Webber’s #DRAGN turns drone warfare into a slasher, with a killer machine hunting retreat attendees. Sharp POV shots help, but the paranoia? #vod #horror #thriller #moviereview at:
Tina Romero’s Queens of the Dead delivers drag, zombies, camp chaos, and a nightclub under siege. A queer horror-comedy with heart, humour, and a few gloriously ridiculous undead brawls. #Shudder #HorrorMovies #Zombies #moviereview at:
Bruno Bozzetto’s Allegro Non Troppo looks gorgeous in its 50th-anniversary restoration, and its anti-Fantasia wit still sings on the big screen. A true animated classic. #GKIDS #animation #classicfilm #moviereview
Discotek’s Deep Dives is bringing anime gems back in style, and I’ve picked 10 must-have releases worth your shelf space, from Captain Harlock to Wicked City. #anime #bluray #Discotek #MediaOCD
Mirage 7 mixes old-school guided adventure design with desert survival touches, a slingshot twist, and an intriguing mystery. A modest first look, but one with promise. #Mirage7 #gaming #indiegames #Steam
Monsters rise, humanity falls, and survival turns savage in Kingdom of Earth, a new horror comic from David Dastmalchian, Leah Kilpatrick, and Soo Lee via @darkhorsecomics. #postapocalypse #sciencefiction #horror #news #comicbook
