Villain of the Week- The White Witch

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:20:26 +0000

From Wiki- Jadis was born on an unknown date long before the creation of Narnia. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe she is identified by a character as a descendant of giants and Adam's first wife (Lilith):

She'd like us to believe [that she is a human], and it's on that that she bases her claim to be Queen. But she's no Daughter of Eve. She comes of your father Adam's ... first wife, her they called Lilith. And she was one of the Jinn. That's what she comes from on one side. And on the other she comes of the giants. No, no, there isn't a drop of real Human blood in the Witch. (8.35)

Jadis died in battle in Narnian year 1000, meaning that she lived for well over 1,000 years.

An excellent villain for the story, she gets her just rewards.

1035. The crafty Curse of the Aztec Mummy review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

The second movie in the Aztec Mummy series is pretty entertaining- the short run time does help!

Thank the gods for K. Gordon Murray!

1034. The apt Agatha All Along 01-02 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 03:00:00 +0000

I like the show so far. Even if they want us to believe Wanda is actually dead.

She's not.

"Agatha All Along" song (from WandaVision)

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 15:42:19 +0000

Boy, I was SHOCKED to find out Agatha Harkness was the real villain in this show. This stems from me knowing the comic book Agatha pretty well.

She did not look like Kathryn Hahn. So there was some cheating. Damn this song is catchy, though!

1033. The mighty Micronauts 01-04 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

I do love that I have a Micronauts label here. No idea what I have used it for.

ANYWAY, who knew this existed?

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-21-1986

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:10:25 +0000

I never cared much for tire swings. I do wonder how Calvin figured out he could take a tire off a car.

Smart kid, right?

1032. This Island, Earth, revisited!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Well... another movies I want to like more than I do. Don't ask me why (apologies to Paul Simon).

It it is just missing... something.

Kamen Rider: The First

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 21:09:16 +0000

Rewatching this for the first time in over fourteen years. I remember some of it, but not a lot.

It is still better than Shin Kamen Rider.

1031. The same Shaolin Hand Lock review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Well, proof that I don't love every Shaw Brothers movie I watch.

I don't hate it, but I also only like it. Star power and all.

Agatha All Along

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 16:22:15 +0000

Since I started watching VisionQuest I realized I had better catch up on this show as well.

I like it.

1030. It's the Great Pumpkin again review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

One is a classic, and one SHOULD be, but it is not.

Go figure!

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) trailer

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:51:48 +0000

This is a great movie, but it is not one I love. It is the first part of Svengoolie tomorrow.

I will review it sometime.

1029. The dire Diamond Eye 09-12 review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

The show is moving along nicely, but the plot is not quite clear enough.

And the tone is so unusual.

At last! Xenorama #76 is almost ready!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 20:39:31 +0000

I have so many issues nearly finished, I have to have more discipline. Time flies by, and the podcast does take up a bit of it. However, I do think there will be more issues next year. I didn't realize how long it had been since the last one!

1028. The vivid Vision Quest 01 thoughts!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Yeah, I couldn't resist doing this. I learned a few things, and will be addressing those.

Should have watched Agatha.

Villain of the Week- Z-1

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:04:42 +0000

From The DC Database: Z-1 was an extraterrestrial robotic missile that had been dumped on the planet Space Junkyard 9. A solar flare reactivated him and he began to feel lonely. He tried to build a wife out of the surrounding junk, but he was unable to as he kept creating mindless replicas of himself, dubbed as Missile Men. Z-1 then decided if he cannot build a companion he will find one. Z-1 decided that Platinum of the Metal Men would become his wife.^[1]He sent his mechanical army of Missile Men to Earth to find her and capture her. The Missile Men destroyed Tin and Mercury, but were later rebuilt. Doc Magnus used a machine to magnetize the Missile Men into each other. They formed a giant metal ball that sank to the bottom of the ocean.^[1] Back to me:

First and second stories I ever read about my beloved Metal Men. I can understand him wanting Tina for his queen, though.

1027. The wild Wolf Man review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

What a great and highly influential movie this is!

And so short!

Poison - Talk Dirty To Me - Unplugged - 1990

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:06:47 +0000

The sign of a good to great song is the ability to play it without gadgets and in different styles.

I'm not a big hair-metal fan, but I do like Poison, overall.

1026. The specterific Space Ghost 19-20 Finale!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

It is a sad day here in Fossil Bed, since the Space Ghost reviews are at an end. Ever so sad.

What a great show, though!

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-20-1986

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:08:29 +0000

I would still be in my room if I had ever tried this at Calvin's age.

And he only asked for a quarter!

1025. it's the most Munster Go Home review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

This is a movie I am so familiar with, the characters all seem like old friends.

I've seen it more than any of the episodes.

Space Ghost and the Black Widow

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:35:43 +0000

Yeah, I am thinking the Black Widow has more than a passing interest in Space Ghost.

Spotify apparently has a problem with this episode. Don't care much any more.

1024. The manic Magnificent Butcher review!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

I really thought I liked this movie a lot, but now that I have watched it again...

Let me know what you think of it!

Black Widow is obssesed...

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:46:26 +0000

Tell me she is not thinking about Space Ghost ALL THE TIME.

Oh, there's a reason.

1023. 7 Bat Song Friday!

noreply@blogger.com (X7) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Pity poor Russia, they are blocked from seeing this wonderful video!

Tough darts, comrade!
