This is Your Badness Level: Lilo & Stitch and Mental Health

By Orrin Grey • June 26th, 2024

As a weird kid myself, who grew up into a weird adult, it’s easy to see aspects of myself in both Lilo and Stitch – and I’m not alone.

Blood and Plunder: Finding Lost Treasure (Though Maybe Not the Kind You Want) in Dreadfleet

By Orrin Grey • June 21st, 2024

Just as Dreadfleet is one of the last games released before Warhammer’s “Old World” became the “Mortal Realms” of Age of Sigmar, it is also one of the last gasps of an aesthetic style that had once defined the brand but was already on the way out.

Rough Shadows: The Whistler Films on Blu-ray

By Orrin Grey • June 12th, 2024

There’s nothing here that’s a forgotten classic or destined to become a new favorite, but it’s nice to have them around, and it’s great, as always, that Indicator is doing the work to preserve some of these B-roll pictures.

The Place That Is Nowhere: Abashiri Prison 1-3 from Eureka

By Orrin Grey • May 31st, 2024

The star of the show becomes Abashiri itself, and the frozen landscape that surrounds it, which makes escape seem impossible, even long after the inmates are outside the prison walls.

Coded Capers: Counting Clues in Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion

By Orrin Grey • May 15th, 2024

The moment seems ripe for an escape room-style Scooby-Doo game like this, as the show feels poised in the cultural zeitgeist right now.

Wrestling and Sex: Three Mexican Wrestling Films from Director Rene Cardona

By Orrin Grey • April 19th, 2024

While all three of the films that we’re discussing today may not have been released in alternate cuts with sexo in the title, all three are definitely films that are skirting Mexican censors of the late ‘60s and using sex appeal to help sell their stories of masked wrestlers, lycanthropes, mad science, swinging spies, and… lepers?

But Not Too Bold: Building a Better Dungeon in Boss Monster

By Orrin Grey • April 3rd, 2024

The real draw of both Boss Monster and Overboss is the low-res pixel art of side-scrolling dungeon rooms (in the former case) and top-down overworlds (in the latter).
