The Pop-Off: Recent Episodes
Matt Kotso
A big old huff and puff to get the dust off before blabbering on for 30 about The Game Awards, how Spider-Man 2 is painfully mid, and how gaming is hurting generally.
As per usu, a complete rundown of the final season of Castlevania, a top contender for TV show of the year come the Kotsos in December.
A little over 80 minutes on what turned out to be a pretty good show despite some pacing and wonky casting choices.
A recap of the show and an attempt to get my film studies degree from Phoenix University.
Super spoilery, almost director's commentary in length rant on MK2021. 1995 will always be the superior Mortal Kombat movie.
Went through my own seven stages of grief over the vision I had for Wanda and what could have been.
Back from the dead... again! New comp, new set up, new sound problems. I'm working out the kinks but didn't want to sit on this.
Action movies have been my escape for the last month and modern day movies are wack.
