As we discussed at length during this week’s Major Spoilers Podcast, Marvel Studios and Netflix have entered into an agreement to deliver no fewer than FOUR live-action Marvel series, including Daredevil, Power Man and Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones. Though this news has me excited (and the box-office receipts for the Thor sequel seem promising), I found my hopes a bit diminished the next night as I watched the latest episode of ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.’ Though the series has a compelling lead in Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson, each successive episode feels more and more like a standard TV action/procedural,…

Pets We Want To Have Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five. This week we ponder what pets we would like to have, if in fact we were allowed to have pets.
This week, Matthew and Stephen explore the dynamic team that makes an impact in Unity #1. Are there spoilers in this episode? You betcha!
Humans love an underdog tale. The plucky robot operators taking down the massive army of monsters, the crew of a single rickety ship opposing the entire galactic alliance, the one barefoot man taking down an international terrorist network; When an overmatched David pulls off an impossible win against his particular Goliath, a part of us cheers, regardless of whether it seems logical or not. I myself am a lifelong fan of legendary future hero Bouncing Boy, and one of my great personal inspirations is the man born Virgil Runnels, known to his legions of fans as ‘The American Dream’, Dusty…

These days, if you want to see unlikely character crossovers, all you have to do is navigate your way to Tumblr. When I was a wee child, it was a much different world, and I clearly remember the utter mind-blowing shock of seeing Superman and Spider-Man joining forces in that giant tabloid comic. It was a truly transcendent bit of nerdery for me, which led to many an idle wondering about additional character crossovers: Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers? Knight Rider and Airwolf? The Dukes Of Hazzard and Star Wars? Anything was possible in the far-off regions of your brain,…
Yesterday, there was a perfectly good and functional MS-QOTD that didn’t make it onto Major Spoilers due to a lack of signal for my cell phone. While I’m sure that lost question will make its way to the site in coming days (Watch the skies!) the lack of cell signal got me to thinking about the things we take for granted in life. Anyone who listens will know how much I love the movie ‘Real Genius’, what with 12% of my vocabulary originating in that film, to the point where I can’t imagine what I might talk like without having…

Get those votes in today!
There are a lot of wild stories to be told in the world of TV, film, comics and what-the-whatever, and not all of them can be perfectly wrapped up like an episode of Scooby-Doo. Indeed, one of my favorite series of all time, ‘The Prisoner’, closes up its short run with an episode that delves into symbolism, analogy and trippy juxtaposition of images, music and performance, creating an avant-garde chunk of damn-near incomprehensible, yet still entertaining and compelling TV. While many fans lean on the utterly horrible “You are, Number 6” interpretation, I find that chestnut to be not only…
