Box Brown, Andre Giant, and Wrestling Reality

May 16, 2014 By Danny Djeljosevic Leave a Comment

Andre the Giant Unstoppable Force

Every single professional wrestling enthusiast has heard the question, ”Isn’t it fake?” Or, if they’re being a dick, “You know it’s fake, right?” Sometimes, if you ask, you might just get slapped across the face. If you’re talking to me, you’ll get a complex response*. Yes, the outcomes are predetermined. And yes, they’re not really […]

Afterlife with Archie

In Panel Panopticon, Nick Hanover and friends talk about the comics they’ve picked up for the week, good, bad or otherwise.

An Experiment in Expansion: Before I Disappear Overcomes Flaws to Showcase Talents

May 13, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Before I Disappear Shawn Christensen

Adaptations are a hot commodity. It’s rare these days for any film to get made that isn’t a sequel, prequel, threequel, spinoff, book or dreaded video game adaptation. This has brought us the rise and box office domination of such entities as the Marvel universe, but also created a vacuum of original creative ideas. Two […]

Stevie Wonder to the Bullshit: Andrew Jackson Jihad’s Christmas Island is a Fourth of a Good Album

May 13, 2014 By LoserCityBoss 1 Comment

Andrew Jackson Jihad

It’s always intriguing when an interesting band somehow makes one of the most uninteresting albums of 2014. Andrew Jackson Jihad– attention getting from the get go with their bonkers and frankly genius name– has long had a knack for making transgressive music while remaining silly and raw, which is something my archenemy Mac DeMarco still hasn’t […]

Terrible People, Good Comedy: Womance Wins in Fort Tilden

May 9, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Fort Tilden Kittens

Everyone loves an underdog, but we also kind of love an asshole. Gone are the days of the boy scout action hero or the drama of our straight laced do-gooding protagonist. Instead an age has arisen of complex and frankly, pretty awful characters populating  film and screen, characters we root for and are deeply invested in […]

Out from the Past: Southern Bastards Masterfully Explores the Complexity of the South

April 29, 2014 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Writer: Jason Aaron Artist: Jason Latour Letterer: Jared K. Fletcher Color Assist by Rico Renzi Published by Image Comics Certain cities have mythology and character that carry over to people’s expectations of their citizens, but no other region is as misunderstood or conflicted as America’s south.

Reviews in the Panel Panopticon: Study Group Extravaganza

April 17, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

In Panel Panopticon, Nick Hanover and friends talk about the comics they’ve picked up for the week, good, bad or otherwise. Most of the releases I picked up this week were either middle issues or just didn’t fully grab my attention, so fuck it, I’m dedicating this week’s Panel Panopticon to some newer stuff on […]

My Kingdom for a Horse: Translucid #1 Explores Hero/Villain Codependency

April 17, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Translucid Written and Created by: Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert Illustrated by: Daniel Bayliss Colored By: Adam Metcalfe Lettered By: Ed Dukeshire Publisher: Boom! Translucid is a tale of codependency. Not a tale of a man and woman sharing a codependent relationship, but an otherwise unspoken tale of codependency between a hero and his arch […]

Aw Geez: Is the New Fargo Series a Worthy Inheritor to the Coens’ Original?

April 16, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Fargo Martin Freeman

Like a lot of people, I was perplexed when I first heard Fargo was being remade as a tv miniseries (technically re-remade, since it already spawned one unaired pilot). One of the Coen Brothers’ best workers, the film doesn’t exactly lend itself to further exploration with its relatively high body count and stark ending. Beyond […]
