Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. After Wednesday's wackiness , I think I'm trying to still be in a whimsical mood today, because the banner is a lie, the title of this week's Goj -Year- ra entry is a lie, and in the face of something so cheap, annoying, and challenging to sit through that gives me little of substance to say, I feel inclined to be as positive as I can about it. Last week's Destroy All Monsters was intended to be the final Godzilla film at the time, due to various global and economic factors shifting general interests away from theatrical viewing. Toho were also intent on making the ancient, destructive monster allegory for nuclear war PTSD into a children's icon into the foreseeable future, including talks with Filmation to produce an animated series (that fell through in the 60s, but would lead to the 1978 Godzilla Power Hour in partnership with Hanna-Barbera ...🎶and Godzooky!🎶). So in under three months, Honda and Sekiza...

Zenebusted Omniscope by Sean Article Wilkinson Shakespeare once wrote that life is a tale told by an idiot. Tom Cochrane once wrote that life is a highway. I once wrote that life is a desert, so vast and disorienting and full of impossible things trying to survive in a place so inhospitable that even the persistent rainfall vaporizes before it can accomplish anything. I was maybe six or seven at the time. Now, over thirty years later, I wrote these last three sentences because I needed an intro and they were the first things I could think of. So, yeah; life is a desert highway told by an idiot, full of farts and stubborn raindrops, signifying that I'm gonna ride it all night long. [Insert Jaws beach-closure joke here], just like my sarcasm. Subtle. And hyphens and exclamation points. And justice for Mole ! And Floppy-Hatted Redneck Guy ! And without further adieu (except for when this post is over), let's get dangerous! Grimm Fairy Tales April Fools Editions If April Fool...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, E.e.k. The Ticketmaster. You may be confused by the above banner image if you didn't have the...privilege...of growing up when Eek! The Cat (a.k.a. Eek!-stravaganza and Eek! & The Terrible Thunder-Lizards ) was occupying space on Saturday morning children's programming, so let's start with some context for why I'm randomly devoting the last Tuesday in March to talking about a short segment from an episode of a cartoon I knew was trash when I was a kid. Conner the Waffle recently did a video on pop culture references to Power Rangers in other media , and I was mildly disappointed to see he didn't bring up the "Mighty Boring Shower Strangers" parody from Eek! The Cat (five masked weirdos with magic bath brushes bump into each other in the shower and decide to fight sentient soap scum together), so I looked up the episode online to link it to him for a follow-up video, and was surprised at how wild it got. For my younger au...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of March 29, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It doesn't benefit me to repeat myself about how the last two weeks of March have gone, so all I'm going to say here is that because April is when we have the day of fools and Easter, most of the content this month will be related to that, so expect some more Lovecraft, Dexter, and a few isekai reviews in the weeks to come. Weekly  TBT '26  pushes will still be a thing on my socials as I promote my old posts one Thursday at a time (as life permits) because you seem to really like that, but aside from this post containing the April calendar, I'll most likely not do weekly  Time Drops  this month (just like March) so I can slow the  Just the Ticket Countdown to One Thousand  and give myself more time to create with quality. Also, thank you again for all for your views and support (the Road to 10k Views per month is still a path I resolve to travel this year ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. So...before I start this, some apologies are in order. First, Thursday was a pain in the ass of a non-day-off, so I went yet another week without pushing my old 2014 finales post even though I took the time to make sure it was updated with links to be promoted yesterday. If you don't want to wait another week, here's the link to that . Another apology is for my Eek! The Cat  post going inactive after I posted it this week. I incorrectly said there that March 24 was the last Tuesday of the month, and I promoted it on Instagram with the wrong music this week. So instead of making a correction in the copy and explaining myself, I decided to not explain myself (until this post) and re-publish and re-promote it on the thirty-first with the music I wanted to get more analytics out of it. So, sorry, and look forward to that. Again. And finally, because yesterday was so draining (and coming back to work today as the only person wh...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. Normally, I'd have broken this up into individual issue reviews, but Volume Thirteen of Grimm Fairy Tales comprises an entire story arc that I hold in high nostalgic regard. Grimm Fairy Tales Volume Thirteen The Lockdown At this point in time, the main series was still getting Volume-original cover art (here by Mike Capprotti ) and doing the sepiatoned ancient tome thing with the Table Of Contents page (using the B Cover for Part Two by Tommy Patterson and Juan Fernandez and the A Cover for Part Five by Giuseppe Cafaro and Ylenia Dinapoli ). There is no bonus material for this Volume, and no special effort was made toward making individual issue covers into title pages in any digital Trade editions I could find. As per usual, I lack the time and money to invest in acquiring a physical edition for comparison purposes here. In 1974, writer/director Jonathan Demme and producer Roger Corman brought us the cult "women in priso...
