Due to a former school mate of mine i was able to see Wonder Woman before the movie officially started in austria and therefore got together with Niv earlier than planned to talk about it; amongst all the other pop-culture relevant topics in our orbit.

The podcadt is available on the podcatcher of your choice as well as iTunes, acast, stitcher and good old rss.

ep.14- Miss Miracle

We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording.

the Odinson and the King Of Monsters

Got a notification from Lego that the second set for Thor: Ragnarok is available and got it.

The Wife had a blast assembling the set and i dig the Gladiator Hulk figure. What i can say about both sets is that they are colourful. Like i said when i saw the teaser trailer for the movie, it feels very Kirby.


When i came home, my neighbors handed me a box from the far shores of japan that the postman tried to deliver and they took over for me (they even payed the import duty costs). It contained the second and third form figures of the King Of Monsters from Shin Godzilla by S.H. Monsterarts.

As much as i dig both figures, i came to the conclusion that they are a tad overpriced. Of course Bandai had to sell them as exclusives because they probably would not have gotten the numbers necessary to write a black number under the endeavor. I got them for a good price on shipping costs from a guy that sometimes gets me things from japan, but considering that we get an atomic breath version of Godzilla’s fourth form and no option parts set for the first release for the people that ordered the first iteration of the figure (like the person writing this post) makes these two guys feel like a cashgrab.

But seriously, looking at the price of the two Thor Lego sets and the Godzilla two pack i realized that i could start to change my shopping habits. It’s not like i don’t have any other hobbies.

relics from far away [1]: ewspaper Strips

star_wars_epic_newspaper

FYI, from now on i’ll call every post concerning my Star Wars collecting habit „relics from a galaxy far away“.

Sometimes gift vouchers and the inventory of a store dictates which version of the Star Wars Newspaper Strips one reads.

Initially i wanted to get the IDW reprints, large hardcover books presenting the material in their original black and white renditions; but our fridge left the coil last week and while buying a book for one of my nieces, i came across the coloured newspaper strips edition as reprinted by Marvel comics in their Epic Collection line of Star Wars comics.
The collector in me wants to see the b&w versions while the comic reader is happy with the coloured version arranged in the wrong order.
The Star Wars nutter wants them both.
Now.

Niv and i finally had the chance to catch up on the things orbiting the space of our interests. Not only did we marathon through trailer talk and a few reviews, we also produced one of our best outtake reels so far

They are available on the podcatcher of your choice as well as iTunes, acast and stitcher.

ep.13-Off Camera

We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording.

trailer drop

Two trailers; two things i’m less excited about.

The Defenders

This smells like Iron Fist all over again. Nirvana’s music kills it for me and Charlie Cox’s entrance is a tas to cheesy.


The Dark Tower

This trailer feels like style over everything. Even the inclusion of the gunslinger mantra feels like to much whipped cream on top of to much whipped cream.
I wonder if the movie gathers a Ka-Tet large enough to make it a franchise. But even if it does not, somehow it still serves the Beam.
