Friday and Fandoms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s Friday. It’s Badass Movie Friday here in The Underground. And apparently I’ve got some things to get off my chest. This morning’s walk turns into a trip onto the fandom soapbox as I talk about why we’ve gotten so good at hating movies, shows, and casting decisions before we’ve even seen them. From Michael Keaton’s Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker to the new X-Men, Resident Evil , and Lanterns , fandom has a long history of deciding something is terrible before giving it a chance. Plus, becau
One Does Not Simply Talk About Green Lantern (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was just going to talk about Lanterns . I swear. On this morning’s walk, I dive into HBO’s new Lanterns series, why I’m already hooked, and how its take on an older, battle-worn Hal Jordan sent me straight back to the Green Lantern comics that made me a fan. Naturally, that turns into a completely unplanned trip through Emerald Twilight , Parallax, Kyle Rayner, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Zero Hour , Final Night , The Spectre, and the wonderfully gimmicky world of ’90s DC Comics. Is Lanterns bo
BAMF Bootlegs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when a blank VHS tape, a Blu-ray player, and a little curiosity collide? On this episode of The Rewind Underground , I’m taking things back to the days of homemade dubs and experimenting with putting modern sources back onto VHS. The first victim? Shogun Assassin on a blood-splattered cassette, complete with a custom clamshell and that wonderfully imperfect bootleg look. I’m talking custom VHS tapes, old-school recording, physical media, mold cleaning, cover art, and what movies des
Terrificon & Other Bad Ideas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A trip to Terrificon turns into something much bigger on the ride home. This episode, I’m talking comics, VHS tapes, independent creators, ridiculous service fees, and why Terrificon still feels like a real Comic-Con. But somewhere along the way, the conversation turns toward a dream I can’t seem to shake: creating a place of our own for comics, physical media, retro games, creators, and the people who love them. Maybe that means opening a store. Maybe it means building something online. Or mayb
Therapy and Nostalgia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What starts as a morning walk turns into a trip through comics, video stores, childhood memories, and the people who made those years special. I talk about growing up in my own little “snow globe,” discovering comics and movies, hanging around the local video store, and realizing years later just how much our parents did to give us the childhoods we remember so fondly. And maybe that explains why I can’t shake this crazy idea of opening a video store of my own. Maybe nostalgia isn’t about trying
