V/H/S/99 [NYCC 2022 Review] – To Hell And Back.

This past month saw the return of the New York Comic-Con, the one pop culture event to rival its more established counterpart out in San Diego. Larger, bigger, and actually filling out the entirety of the Jacob Javits Center, being my first time attending the convention since 2019, the increased size seemed an apt development. …

007 – NO TIME TO DIE [Dual Film Review]: Closing Time.

An epic ending to an epic run with the character deserves an epic review. A decade-and-a-half after catching the midnight screening of Casino Royale, my now-wife and I caught the swansong for star Daniel Craig, No Time To Die. It is fitting that a monumental -- and extremely unique -- run of the nearly 60-year-old …

AVENGERS – THE WAR FOR WAKANDA [DLC Review]: Wakanda Forever!

A TOY KINDA MOOD [Episode 36]: A Galactus-Sized Calm Before The (Con) Storm.

For something this big, the only choice ATKM had was to unite our two co-hosts, Travis and Bobby! This week, Hasbro dropped the ultimate (wallet) nullifier in our laps with the HasLab Galactus. This 32", 70-point articulated figure with a $399 price point(!!) is a thing of beauty and is definitely going to need all …

NIER REPLICANT VER. 1.22474487139… [Review]: NieRly Good.

My first entry into the NieR series was with NieR Automata. The cerebral impact Automata had on me, made me extremely curious about the events prior. Thankfully the original NieR game (named differently per region) came out as a remake called NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... Why the long number? I don’t know because...Yoko Taro. Honestly, my explanation for nearly everything that happens in …
