The Appeal of Archie Comics: An Answer 77 Years in the Making I was recently asked the following question in all earnestness by a contemporary: what is the appeal of Archie Comics? At the time, I hastily typed up a response that was informative and concise. I felt that I did a decent job answering the question, but at the same time I couldn’t help but think that a handful of sentences was really selling the legacy of Archie Comics short. So, what actually is the appeal of Archie Comics?…

Coming Soon: The Fugitive…Again! #HarrisonFord #TheFugitive #Sequel #GetPaid #Again
Today I have a Coming Soon that steers well clear of the 2016 Donald Trump Republican shit show for a second consecutive week in a row (yay me!). There was some interesting entertainment news this week that eclipsed even the Donalds usual media dominance as Disney announced another Indiana Jones film was to be released in 2019 starring once more the film legend Harrison Ford. For the record: make no mistake, Harrison Ford is a legend. From Star Wars to Witness, Working Girl to Indiana Jones, Clear and Present Danger to Air…
Coming Soon: Rumor Has It – featuring @foofighters #bromance #BromCom
I thought it might be fun to do something a little different this week. Instead of the same old Donald Trump shit show that my Coming Soon posts have frequently become, I thought it would be better to have a little fun with current events in pop culture. One of the most engaging events to track over the last week or so was the Foo Fighters big “official announcement” that most of the media assumed would be to announce that the band had formally broken up. What we actually got from the…
Coming Soon: Internet @UnburntWitch @tim_cook @Snowden #ZeroCool #GamerGate
In light of all of the Internet related shenanigans that have been going on over the last few years, I have decided that it is well past time to put a film together that addresses the core issues of the modern ‘net. You have GamerGate, Security and Privacy Concerns as well as a Shady USA Government which seems exceptionally content doing absolutely nothing to address and/or fix these issues. However, we do have heroes that are fighting against the system to ensure that we don’t go gently into that good night. They…
Coming Soon: Marco Headroom! @marcorubio #25SecondSpeech #Rubio
The election cycle during Presidential election years can be particularly grueling in the United States of ‘Merica. You often get to see the best and the worst of each candidate in mostly equal measure. On rare occasion you get to see a candidate lose his shit like a shit collector with amnesia. That rare Pokemon occurred last Saturday when Republican hopeful Marco Rubio short circuited on the stage and repeatedly spouted off the same sentence over and over again parroting his memorized 25 second speech. Just take a gander at…
Coming Soon: Clockwork Cosby! @BillCosby #PuddingPops #Cosby
In light of recent news that indicates that Bill Cosby will likely have his day in court to answer to the serious allegations of sexual assault that have been levied against him, I thought today would be a fantastic day to unveil my next faux cinematic masterpiece: Clockwork Cosby! A depraved and raw look into the psyche of a man who has quite possibly sexually assaulted over 50 women. It has all of the bartending tips that a sad sack lech might need to trap his prey, as well as…
Coming Soon: The TRUMPING #Trump #RealHorror #America
With the primary voting for the Presidential hopefuls starting next week, things are looking bleak for the United States of America. On the Democrat side you have Hillary Clinton (who’s petering out like she did in 2008) and Bernie Sanders (who couldn’t possibly accomplish 75% of his ridiculous agenda). On the Republican side you have Marco (Establishment Whipping Boy) Rubio, Ted (Never Gonna Get The Party’s Approval) Cruz, and the heir apparent: Donald (What The Eff Is Wrong With This Country) Trump. Bleak, my friends, very bleak. Donald Trump recently…
Coming Soon: Titanic #Bonus #Trump #Palin
I wasn’t gonna do this one (low hanging fruit and whatnot), but then I did and it’s ugly as sin (as it should be), but I thought the message really said all it needed to: Trump + Palin = Titanic the unsinkable ship that… well, sank. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Trump, so thanks Sarah “nail-in-the-coffin” Palin! I was ready for Trump to disappear sooner than later anyway. Bonus, I made sure they both had “O” faces, because tragic love and so on and so forth… Coming Soon: …
Coming Soon: Hillary Clinton in Concussion #Helmet #Concussion
I know… I said I was going to go somewhere in the middle this week, but then I came across the poster for the Will Smith film Concussion, and then I thought… you know who would be excellent in that movie? Hillary Clinton. She already has the football helmet, might as well have the movie too! So without further adieu, Nerfed Llamas presents their soon to be smash blockbuster multiple Oscar winning drama: Concussion starring ol’ Secretary Breaks Her Head. Coming Soon: NB4 someone comments about the crappy cg/paint job,…
Coming Soon: Jurassic Fart #FeeltheBern
I went a little right last week, so I’ve decided to course correct by veering left this week. Perhaps I’ll go straight down the middle next week to maintain an even keel. I went after the low hanging fruit this time, and by fruit… I of course mean everyone’s favorite perpetual epic bed head champion and socialist: Bernie Sanders! Bernie is not content to just be running for President of the United States of America – he’s making a movie too! Catch a first peek at the official poster for…
