From the Vault: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Friendship Express DVD


I’ve always had a complicated relationship with the My Little Pony franchise. I always really liked them aesthetically and spent a good deal of time trying to convince my sister to let me play with the ones she had. The ponies often became mounts for He-Man and Nien Nub, and my sister was OK with it as long as I was willing to let her play with Teela every once in a while.

But when it came to the animated shows I usually found them saccharine, trite and even disingenuous. Which was sad because I always liked the toy design. I wanted to like the show, but I just couldn’t.

That’s a lot of big names for this movie from Universal Pictures.

Opinion: Twilight of the Schmucks

For almost two decades the Schmuck has been the undisputed king of comedy. There’s just something about a guy (or girl, a Shmuckette, if you will) who doesn’t have it together that just makes people laugh and laugh. Or at least it did. Now it seems the winds of comedy are a-changin’ and it doesn’t look good for the schmuck.

Dueling Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #33

ROBOT OVERLORD: Nothing creeps out robots like those freakin’ vampires. Only the Robots should live forever and be allowed to suck dry the joy that is human life… That’s probably why I, Your Robot Overlord, probably enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer so much.    I have been made aware that many humans also enjoy the Joss Whedon approved series, so I’ve been kind to Matthew and Stephen this week, and asked them to spill the beans.  I’ve even allowed them to skip a day so they could prepare for the awesome sauce that is Buffy.
