Charles Manson in Movies and Pop Culture

Well, not exactlyand in part thanks to that miniseries. Films with a Mansonian angle (Deathmaster,I Drink your Blood) were rushed into production. He can deny it all he wants, but no ones gonna believe him. Given how early this was, that may explain a lot. And you sure gotta give Howard credit for trying. So I had big hopes for the follow-up. As they tell the story in flashback, the host starts receiving bizarre threats from modern day Manson cultists....

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty Review

An epic fantasy series with no white people? See, Hollywood; itispossible. They are only moderately successful in achieving those goals. Currently ruled by Alis family, Daevabad is a city on a knifes edge. The political framework of this world is so intricate that, at times, it can be confusing. In those moments, I would recommend flipping to the glossary at the back of the book. Chakraborty is also an admirable action scene writer, infusing complex fight scenes with character and world-building....

The Punisher episode 4 review & nerdy spots: Resupply

This review contains spoilers. THIS is a little more like it. Frank and Micro working together has created an interesting dynamic for a show that was previously very interior. I really enjoyed their scenes together. There were some nice individual moments too as Frank cleans up Micros otherwise decorative gun and tunes his guitar. Him admitting he killed her boss right to her was also a perfect character moment. Im even enjoying the stuff with Lewis, though I have a suspicion its going somewhere quite predictable....

The Punisher Ending Explained, Season 2 Villain Revealed

This article consists of nothing but spoilers forThe Punisher. The Punisherhad a surprising air of finality to its ending. The Punishercertainly didnt skimp on the action in that final hour. Frank Castles big throwdown with Billy Russo was perhaps the most intense moment of an already intense series. Of course they do. Still, sometimes a name is appropriate… Instead, he was a mob hitman, which is plenty of reason for Frank to want him dead....
