A Bomb in the Lasagna: “Johnny Mnemonic” is the Best and Worst of 90s Sci-Fi

A few months ago during my last semester of school, my screenwriting professor gifted everyone in the class with a package filled with books, music, and DVDs, telling us that the contents of these packages would be “everything we need” both in the class and, dare I say, in life in general. Amongst my collection…

Second Breakfast: Celebrating Septemberween

I’m sorry, everybody. Octoberween’s still weeks away, but I just can’t wait. I’m totally psyched out for Halloween this year, even though I have nothing going on and won’t be doing anything at all except sitting at home with my obscenely large LaserDisc collection. The air has cooled down, the leaves are dying, the sky…

A Bomb in the Lasagna: My Evening with Blacula

Where would internet film critics be today without bargain DVD bins? Probably writing run-of-the-mill clickbait lists, and we know you don’t want that, do you? Case in point, after failing to find anything I was exceedingly eager to write about on the usual streaming service scan, I decided to drop by my local record store…

Second Breakfast: Brush Up Your Shakespeare 12: 800 Words on ‘Forbidden Planet’

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11 And we’re back. My break from Shakespeare (or Breakspeare, if you will) turned out to be quite short indeed. I’m bouncing back today with something that’s hardly Shakespearean, though. Forbidden Planet (1956) The Plot: Brilliant Dr. Morbius (Walter…

A Bomb in the Lasagna: “Weird Al” at the Movies

At the time of this writing, the Internet is in the final days of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 8 Videos in 8 Days campaign in support of his new—and allegedly final—album Mandatory Fun*. In honor of this unprecedented video marathon, I’m taking a look at the Weird One’s first and only stab at the silver screen:…

Second Breakfast: Brush Up Your Shakespeare 10: The Hollow Crown (Part 3)

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9 The Hollow Crown! Part 3: Henry IV, Part 2. Lots of numbers. I probably could have done this in the same article as Part 2 of The Hollow Crown, which was Part 1 of Henry IV… Not much has changed to be…

Second Breakfast: Brush Up Your Shakespeare 6: Something Strange

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 7, Part 8 Ah, summer. It’s a time of blockbusters, but also just a crazy number of filler articles. Frankly, there aren’t that many blockbusters I want to see this summer, and even fewer that I’ll actually get to review. Instead, I’m turning my attention towards my beloved burgeoning Shakespeare…
