Made me nostalgic for an earlier era of cryptic internet pageantry. Watching this really took me back to the halcyon days of Marble Hornets/totheark and all the other ARGs I’d get white-hot obsessed with for weeks on end (before more often than not they got dropped and left on a cliffhanger)

The Punisher 1989
#HeDoesAHangmanStuff (oh shit the feds are coming)
I remember I had this big book of the history of Marvel comics, which crucially cut off before the turn of the millennium and thus only had a little blurb for "movie adaptations" nestled in right at the end there. The Bill Bixby Hulk show, the Spider-Man where he swings around on a clothesline, all the old classics. Pretty sure this got namedropped as an example of comic adaptations that "didn't get the…Translated from by -
Death Lends A Hand 1971
I know some limp-dicked TMDb mod is gonna delete this eventually, but I don't care - I fucking love Columbo. This is a great "meat and potatoes" episode with a really fun Columbo-killer dynamic: Robert Culp has a great "you're very...observant, aren't you Lieutenant?" face, and the thing with the reflection in his glasses was pretty cool. all-timer ending with him explaining why he became a cop

The Enduring Mystery of Jack the Ripper 2021
Unbelievable that a documentary so well produced and researched never even comes close to the truth: Jack the Ripper was a Star Trek alien. obviously.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke 2019
This has been one of my historical obsessions for a good chunk of my life, and I’ve never heard it summarized as succinctly as here. Also, given how much the content creator crowd relies on humor, I really admire this guy’s restraint; he almost never goes in for the joke, so it’s even more impactful on the rare instances does. Although, it is a valid question: why WAS everyone named John?

The Kennedy Assassination: Inside the Book Depository 2023
[original log from 2023, referencing a long-forgotten "controversy" of the day. reuploading here unedited, as at some point the original page was removed by limp-dicked TMDb mods]
One upside to that thief xQc mooching off this guy's work (and getting deliciously owned online for it) is that it hopefully puts more eyeballs onto the work than ever before. Which isn't a justification - the excuse that xQc pays people he steals from in "exposure" instead of money is pure bootlicking…

Doctor Who: Mission to the Unknown 1965
(original post below, as at some point the original page was deleted by limp-dicked TMDb mods)
As a story, "Mission to the Unknown" is fine - it's historically interesting as the only Doctor Who episode to feature neither the Doctor nor his companion - but let's be honest, we're all just here to celebrate the students of the University of Central Lancashire, and rightfully so. In an online landscape in which "fandom" has become a dirty word, a shorthand for…Translated from by -
Murder on the Orient Express 2010
The funny thing about Poirot is, it really is all about the plot. I can sympathize to some extent with modern adaptations, which all have the instinct to add a level of characterization and emotionality that just wasn’t there in the original stories, but the fact is they’re going about it all the wrong way. Agatha Christie isn’t the type of author you go to if you’re looking for well-rounded characters or a strong emotional center; she’s who you go…

Batman Beyond: Year One 2024
If this were a pilot episode, I'd stick with it. Mad props to everyone involved for making something that aesthetically looks leaps and bounds better than most big-budget superhero fare, on a fraction of the budget (turns out I'm WAY more forgiving of foggy backgrounds and slightly washed-out cinematography if there's budgetary restrictions involved). This was giving me major CW nostalgia, and I think it works for the same reasons most of those shows worked; it's shamelessly sincere, the dialogue's…

Disney’s Animatronics: A Living History 2024
This YouTuber has done more to capture the contradictory nature of Walt’s soul and legacy than most actual biographers. hooting and hollering at the Michael Eisner cameo
TMDb mods are such fucking losers for nuking this as many times as they have
