Lots of show spoilers. Duh. Two years ago, I made Lord Varys’ No Bean Chili and Jon Snow Balls to gear up for Season 3 of Game of Thrones. Last year, I dedicated two columns to the Season 4 premiere: A Feast of Ice and A Feast of Fire. Season 5 is fast approaching and…
Spoiler Warning: Maybe don’t read this (or anything else on the internet) if you aren’t caught up. Tomorrow (Friday, February 27th), Netflix is giving us the gift of President Underwood. When the second season ended last year, our favorite southern democrat had hand-crafted and manipulated every situation in Washington to bend to his will. Through…
Dinner with the Twelfth Doctor (Who?) Num-ber 12! Num-ber 12! Num-ber 12! While we’re all deeply sad to lose Matt Smith, the amazingly energetic, intimate and raggedy incarnation of the doctor, I think it’s safe to say we’re all pretty damn excited for Peter Capaldi. It’s exciting ANY time we get a new Doctor, but…
Genius. Badass. Trivial Pursuit Champ. Inventor of Revolutionary Devices. Protector. Witty. Master of Ninjitsu. Why wouldn’t I have had a massive crush on Donatello as a child? I was big into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Being a child of the late 80s/early 90s… I don’t really even think it was an option. I watched…
I’m a Marvel girl (though sadly, I’m not Marvel Girl), but I don’t have a lot of experience with Guardians of the Galaxy. I stuck around X-Men and the Avengers and never really ran out of material to read, watch and be entertained by. When the Guardians film was announced a couple of years ago,…
It’s that time of year again where all the nerds step from their dark doorways, blinking into the bright summer sun, donning their bestest cosplay gear and nicest camera equipment, thrusting themselves into the sweaty world of comics, film and television with other like-minded individuals and the actors/writers/illustrators that turned them into the fanboys and…
First of all, I just have to say: I don’t give an alien robotic fuck about the Michael Bay Transformers franchise. But hey, did you hear that there’s a new Transformers movie coming out? What a great opportunity to pay homage to the cartoon, movie and toys of the 80s! I’m not even a…
What was going to be a nice column about how much I love the X-Men and how excited I am about the new film, X-Men: Days of Future Past has turned into a long rant about how little respect I have for Channing Tatum. Oh well, whatcha gonna do? The main point is, I made…
I’ll admit, I’m not an avid Spider-man comic book reader. So when I watch the Spider-man movies, I don’t have the book biases that others have. I’m strictly speaking of the movies based on a movie-fan’s knowledge. That being said, I was a little skeptical when they decided to reboot the series so soon after…
Last week, in anticipation of the Game of Thrones season four premiere, I brought you A Feast of Ice which featured foods from the north. Bake the Black, a steak and peppered bacon pie that would warm your bones after a night of guarding the wall, Dire Wolf Puppy Chow to keep in your pack…
