MONTHLY MEDIA: September 2019

Who’s ready for the spookiest time of the year? Here’s all the stuff I ready/watched/heard/played this month!

……….FILM……….

Ready or Not (2019) Not quite the film I was expecting but ho boy does it deliver. It was gruesome, funny, and thoroughly satisfying. I really don’t want to say too much more because part of why I enjoyed it so much was genuinely having no idea where it was going, but loving every minute of the journey. If the poster is enough of a hook to get you to see it then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

The Dark Crystal (1982) First-time viewing and it’s...pretty good! The artistry and world-building is stellar and holds up well, but the pacing and balance of showing vs. telling shows its age. With that said, I feel like this is a perfect fit for a revamp in that the foundation is fantastic but the original execution leaves a lot of room for improvement. I’m excited to see what the series is like! 

……….TELEVISION……….

Bachelor in Paradise (Episode 6.09 to 6.13) For as good as Demi and Christian’s engagement was, they had to include a gender reveal segment. The Bachelor franchise just knows how to challenge my love.

GLOW  (Episode 3.01 to 3.03) Just getting started and already it’s been a fun ride in Vegas! I read some complaints that there isn’t much wrestling in this season but I get it: they’re doing the same show every night so is that really worth seeing on screen? The same show that ended season 2? Wrestling has always felt like a backdrop to these characters and maybe that’s been ramped up this season but I’m digging it.

Are You the One? (Episode 8.01 to 8.09) Watching this season (the entire cast is sexual fluid) right after B.I.P. just shines a light on how conservative and old school the Bachelor Franchise is. And as far as reality TV goes, it’s so so good. I love the game, I love this cast, I love it all. But oh man I just don’t know if they’re going to win at the end.  

……….READING……….

HORRORSTÖR by Grady Hendrix (Complete) I loved Hendrix’s other book, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, so much that I was excited and nervous to check this one out. Fortunately it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a haunted pseudo-Ikea story. Having read two of his novels I wonder what inspired his recurring trailer park locales and can’t deny that his endings really land for me. Highly recommend.

Cosmic Ghost Rider: Baby Thanos Must Die by Donny Cates, Dylan Burnett, Brian Level, and so many more (Complete) As silly and fun as you’d imagined. It begins, lives, and ends at breakneck speed so I can’t really fault the story for just sorta...wrapping up in a couple frames. This book is more about the journey and it’s a wild ride that throws away the sort of bonkers stuff that I want to see in more comics. I know there’s more stuff with the character out there but I think I’ll just leave this gem as a single burst of brilliance.

Paper Girls Vol. 3 by Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Matt Wilson, and Jared K. Fletcher (Complete) It’s been a while since I read vol. 2 so it took me a bit to get back into what’s going on. With that said, I’ve now realized that the pacing of this book is much much slower than the superhero stuff I’ve been reading lately. This isn’t a complaint, but I would suggest borrowing or buying a few trades at once so that you get a good chunk of plot covered. The characters, however, are so wonderfully nuanced. It’s still what I envisioned post-season 1 of Stranger Things to be (varied in its ideas, personal in scope, and focused on a core group of characters). Very ready to pick up vol. 4 & 5.

Superior Spider-Man Vol. 3 & 4 by Dan Slott, Ryan Stegman, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Humbero Ramos, and so many more (Complete) This series continues to deliver. Volume 3 explores villains vs. villains and volume 4 gets into some fun time-travel stuff, all while building on the theme of legacy. Doc Ock’s current victories have been credited to Peter Parker and the internal conflict of Octavius’ ego vs. his need to remain hidden is such a good one to mine for these stories. Really great stuff.

Lock & Key Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez (Complete) There’s some cool light fantasy in this and the premise is interesting (a house with various keys that grant different magical stuff if they’re used to unlock doors) but the conflict revolves around very real-world gun violence and it just sit well during a time of constant real life tragedies. I would recommend this with the trigger warning for its plot, but I don’t know if it’s the sort of content I want from my escapist reading at the moment.

Peculia by Richard Sala (Complete) Fun short stories with lots of spooky ideas and each story wraps up so easily that it feels like old pulpy comics of the 70s. The breezy writing compliments Sala’s artwork and it was a fun, casual read.

……….AUDIO……….

Kevin’s Halloween (Spotify) A few years back my bud made a solid Halloween playlist and it always gets me amped for the season. I’ve made some additions but it’s still very much his. Playlist link is here and spotify url is here (I don’t know the difference).

……….GAMING……….

Maze of the Blue Medusa (Satyr Press) The group continues to dive deeper into the dungeon and the threats are steadily increasing. They’re currently in a Gallery where food rots in an instant and the artwork is as dangerous as the critics.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo) I bought the expansion stuff and dipped into it a whiiiiiiile back but now I’m really digging in again. Three beasts freed and maybe 40ish shrines left and I STILL haven’t built up the courage to fight a Lionel (Master Mode is haaaaaard).

And that’s it! As always, feel free to hit me up with stuff to read/watch/play/and hear.

Happy Monday!
