In celebration of Batman's 80th anniversary, I decided to dig deep and share not my top 5 favorite Batman movies, but my top 3.

Doom Patrol Episode 7 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Therapy Control

• So if I were to give a summary of this episode, I’d have to say it's a mix of Reservoir Dogs and the last two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion
• I say Reservoir Dogs because the majority of this episode plays out the same way it did in regards to us seeing everyone’s personal actions over the course of the day before they all intersect with one moment
• And its the last two episodes of the original Evangelion anime, because the sub...

Doom Patrol Episode 7 RECAP | READUS 101

Here's my review of episode 7 of DC Universe's Doom Patrol!

One Punch Man: Season 1 (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Today on Anime Saturday, I take a look at Season 1 of One Punch Man. Let’s begin.

_______

(Bursts into laughter) I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I just... I just can’t for the life of me keep a straight face when I hear the beginning of this song.

/Anyway, One-Punch Man is an action comedy anime that was adapted from a 2009 webcomic created by ONE - the same guy who made Mob Psycho 100 - that got super popular after going viral in Japan and received a manga adap...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold: Official Trailer (VIDEO SCRIPT)

*chuckle to laugh to cackle* WHAT???

_____

Readers, may I present to you “Dora and the Lost City of Gold”

Also known as Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.’s live-action “Dora the Explorer” movie

And like, I knew it was gonna happen? I *knew* it was gonna happen. But still, I was NOT prepared

Now don’t get me wrong. Dora looks awesome

/Isabela Moner looks exactly how I would imagine a teenage Dora would look, even while being forced to do the ...

The first trailer for Dora the Explorer's live-action movie is here! Yet despite my positive reactions, I'm still trying to process what I just watched!

The Disney/Fox Deal: Huck Learns About Empathy (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Me: (Looks over at Huck) ...What?

Huck: You alright? You haven’t told me to get out of your house in like, 5 minutes.

Me: Well, I- Wait, are you the only one here? Where’s Winston

Huck: I dunno, probably off being a communist or somethin’...

Me: *Stares*

Huck: Well, are you gonna tell me what’s wrong or what?

Me: *Huffs* Well, last week after Disney’s buyout of Fox was official, /I found out that they already started laying off folks ...

Massive layoffs have begun the moment the Disney/Fox deal became final, but it seems like many people could care less -- including Huck. Here's the story of how he changed his tone.

Doom Patrol Episode 6 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Readers, the Doom Patrol Patrol episode...of Doom Patrol (yes I know, me too) is SO GOOD

Not like I wasn’t expecting it to be good mind you, but wondering where it could go after the Decreator arc was pretty much me for a week

And while it didn’t necessarily advance the plot of the overall season, I’m definitely happy that it used the plot of the episode to give us the next best thing: character development

I mean, yes; the show’s been pretty good as far...

Here's my review of the sixth episode of DC Universe's Doom Patrol!

Us Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Story

• Normally, I’d use other stories I’ve seen or read that are similar to this in order to compare, but nothing comes to mind. the closest thing i can come up with is invasion of the body snatchers, but even that’s a bit of a reach considering what the movie covers
• It’s also a bit unfair to compare it to get out, considering the differences in context
• Another thing that makes it incomparable to get out is that Jordan Peele leaves a lot of t...

Here's my review of Jordan Peele's latest horror film, Us!

Guess What??

Hey, Readers!

I'm working on some special stuff for you all in April! I'll have an official announcement for you all at the beginning of the month, though!

James Gunn's Rehiring: Is The Info Accurate? (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Readers, I started my Friday morning relatively normal.

I woke up at around 9, took a shower, got dressed for and attended job interview that I have to constantly tell myself that I crushed in order to keep myself sane

/So when I came home to the news that James Gunn recently received his directing job back for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and that he’ll be working on it as soon as he’s done with DC and Warner Brothers soft reboot to Suicide S...

James Gunn's Rehiring: Is The Info Accurate? | READUS 101

It's official: Disney has rehired James Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! But with the announcement comes information regarding how he was brought back that conflicts with some information we were given months ago when Disney stuck to their guns. So what is the truth?

Doom Patrol Episode 5 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Paw Patrol

• So this episode starts off in a flashback to New Jersey in 1977 where we find Jane at a punk rock concert in a bar, before being taken to an asylum with whack-ass abusive guards.
• And it’s here that I find out something about her that probably a lot of you long-time Doom Patrol fans already knew about here that didn’t really register to me when I joked about it in the second episode
• (Spic slur)
• That’s right. Jane’s not whit...

Here's my review of the fifth episode of DC Universe's Doom Patrol!

Tier Changes

Hey Readers!
First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for all of my Hardcore Readers ($20 Tier) for not providing a free merch promo code for February and March. Situations occurred that kept me from being able to fulfill my end of the bargain on time in February, and my current financial situation is keeping me from being able to do so for March as well.
So to hopefully make up for this, I've made some changes to the main four tiers so that EVERYONE can have a chance to save on the Pa...

Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (VIDEO SCRIPT)

I’m not gonna lie, Readers; I didnt have that much faith in this when it was first announced

Yes, I knew that it was based on the crossover story by James Tynion IV, which I heard was really good

But at the same time, this isn’t one of DC’s MAIN animated features they’ve been pushing for this year, which immediately told me that they probably weren’t gonna put as much dedication as they are for like, Batman Hush or the like

But let me tell you, Readers...

Wanna know if I have opinions about the trailer for the upcoming "Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animated movie? Well, you're in luck. Because I do!

BRIGHTBURN v Superman: Dawn of Infringement (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Yes, Readers. I have seen the trailers to BrightBurn

Yes, Readers. I am super psyched for BrightBurn.

Yes, Readers. I too am wondering why Sony hadn’t gotten a big ol’ cease and desist letter from either Warner Brothers or DC Comics for BrightBurn

In case you didn’t know, Sony pictures released a trailer back in December for a superhero horror movie called BrightBurn.

/It stars Elizabeth Banks in which her character and her husband find a baby boy in...

Brightburn v. Superman: Dawn of Infringement | READUS 101

With Brightburn so close to its theatrical release, some are wondering why DC and Warner Bros. are allowing Sony's obviously evil take on Superman to come to fruition. Here's what I could piece together

Doom Patrol Episode 4 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Cult Patrol

• So the episode opens up with the most less-than subtle ass plot setup on the face of the earth, which I’d like to add I’m not necessarily mad at. 
• I say that because it starts seventeen years ago in a neighborhood in suburban Utah, where a family is celebrating the first birthday of their baby boy named Elliot.
• It then transitions to his 7th birthday
• /And outside of the fact that his parents let him get tattoos at that a...

Doom Patrol Episode 4 RECAP | READUS 101

Here's my summary of episode 4 of DC Universe's Doom Patrol!

Captain Marvel Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Story

• It played out like reverse Hook with an origin story for Carol that took a page out of Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern with a splash of Batman Begins and it worked tremendously
• Her starting off powered and going through the movie piecing together bits of her past as a human helps us get a better grasp of her character. We want her to piece things together, we want her to find out the truth about herself. Rooting for her to persevere makes the moment when s...

Captain Marvel Review | READUS 101

Here's my review of the latest movie from Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel!

The Hellboy Reboot: My Thoughts So Far (VIDEO SCRIPT)

So the reason why I didn't necessarily make a video on the teaser trailer when it initially came out was because in general it looked “eh”

And while I do admit that this one looks a lot better, that's still kinda my opinion on the movie from what I've seen.

Not eh as in This doesn't hold my interest long enough to care, but eh as in I mean, it looks okay, but I'm not gonna break my arm to see it opening night

Also, even with 2 trailers out, I still don't kno...

The Hellboy Reboot: My Thoughts So Far | READUS 101

Here are my thoughts regarding not only the newest TRAILER for the Hellboy reboot, but the movie OVERALL!

X-Men: The Mystique of Dark Phoenix (VIDEO SCRIPT)

Readers, I have made it a mission of mine not to pay to see any of the FoX-Men movies after First Class

Yes, that even includes the Deadpool movies; I only saw them in theaters because I had enough credit with my local movie theater to get a free ticket, and when I already got my money’s worth for the month with MoviePass back when it was good

The only one I regret not seeing is Logan because it takes itself out of the tumble-dryer that is the 20th Century Fox X-Men...
