With talk swirling about a Doctor Strange movie outing, I’m excited to see one of Marvel’s most under-served characters on the big screen. Among my earliest comic-reading experiences were the original Defenders series, a book which never had to work to explain why Doctor Strange didn’t just wave his hands and fix the problem. Modern Marvel comics don’t seem to be able to pull that off, though, as repeatedly he has been limited, depowered, redefined or hamstrung to keep from having to write around his many powers.

Our last few episodes of ‘Zach On Film’ have been in a fifties science-fiction vein, with several different takes on life from outer space, from brain-controlling seed pods to giant robots to flying manta-ray submarines. There was even a semi-invisible energy creature who was pretty terrifying, perhaps equally terrifying to the spongiform monsters found inside the shell of a Doctor Who Dalek. Still, there are few alien beings engender in me the gut-wrenching awfulness that I felt as a child when Doctor Who introduced us to the Terileptils. These amphibious monsters from space had rows of razor-sharp teeth and a…

Being old and boring, I often find myself shuttling through my vastly-overpriced premium movie tiers to while away a few idle hours, and last night I happened upon a showing of ‘The Dukes of Hazzard,’ a movie that I once actually looked forward to. As a fan of the original franchise, as well as the Broken Lizard team that brought us the film, I was horribly disappointed in what eventually made it to the screen. Even the presence of Willie Nelson, having fun though a little bit miscast as Uncle…
