The Human Adventure continues with DC Comics’ Star Trek run. There’s a new writer behind Rest and Recreation, Peter Kupperberg, but Tom Sutton remains on pencils, and Ricardo Villagran endures on inks. This one was on spinners for September of 1985. This time out, we get to see what Scotty gets up to during some…

Smallville (2005) – Thirst, and Exposed
Vampires? I’m sorry Vampires? Come on, man. I’ll let you have your meteor freaks and your metahumans, and yes I know vampires exist in the DC Universe, but this just feels a little silly. And then you make them the sorority that Lana (Kristin Kreuk) is thinking about pledging. Oh boy. Thirst first aired on…
The Sheep Detectives (2026) – Kyle Balda
The Sheep Detectives is a charming murder mystery with a bit of a twist. Based on the novel Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, the film features a fun cast and a great take on the traditional British murder mystery. Despite featuring a murder, this ends up being delightful family fare and an engaging mystery….
Get Smart (1970) – And Only Two Ninety-Nine, Smartacus, and What’s It All About, Algie?
Arne Sultan wrote And Only Two Ninety-Nine, which was first broadcast on 20 February, 1970. 99 (Barbara Feldon) is replaced with a duplicate who is slowly poisoning Max (Don Adams). The Chief (Edward Platt) contacts Max about it, and despite having escaped, he orders 99 back to where she was being held by KAOS, so…
The Mean Season (1985) – Phillip Borsos
As previously stated, I do love me a Kurt Russell film, I just think he’s a wonderfully cool actor, and I also like that there are so many of his films I have yet to run down. So when I came across The Mean Season which sees him playing a newspaperman involved in a cat-and-mouse…
Smallville (2004) – Bound, and Scare
The episode Bound first debuted on 17 November, 2004. It was written by Luke Schelhaas. There’s a lot of character stuff going on in this one as Lex (Michaeal Rosenbaum) finds himself caught up in a sex/murder scandal. He wakes up next to a murdered woman, Shannon (Cobie Smulders), whom he met the previous night….
Bride of Chucky (1998) – Ronny Yu
Don Mancini pens a script that takes Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) in a whole new direction. This one definitely leans into comedy and is very self-aware. Directed by Ronny Yu, who would direct Freddy vs. Jason a few short years later, there is a lot of fun to be had in this entry. The…
Angel Heart (1987) – Alan Parker
It has been forever since I saw this film. Maybe early 90s during my video store years. So I decided to take another look at it. And I loved it. It’s dark, twisted, but done so well. Set in the 50s, Mickey Rourke plays a private investigator, Harry Angel. And honestly, this is one of…
Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 2
The second night of Stephen King’s Storm of the Century was 15 February, 1999. The three parts aired on consecutive nights, and it captivated audiences. King delivered the script, which was directed by Craig R. Baxley. The second episode picks up where the first one ended, and ups the body count, as Andre Linoge (Colm…
Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 1
While not necessarily a movie, which is what I usually cover on Fridays, I thought it would be cool to revisit Storm of the Century, something I had not watched since it first aired. Written for the television screen by Stephen King, the miniseries aired over three nights, with the premiere on 14 February, 1999….
