Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. Just the Ticket   takes things from the jungle to the forest this week as I dip my toes back into  Rhys Frake-Waterfield 's budding public domain horror franchise, the  Twisted Childhood Universe , for a look at Bambi: The Reckoning . For quick access to this and other reviews in the franchise as they're published, you can click my TCU tag , or the following links to read my thoughts on the two Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey films. Just the Ticket #124: Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey Just the Ticket #188: Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey II Directed by Dan Allen (the 2017 Unhinged remake , several short horror films, and a handful of other "four friends go to a place and/or do a thing and get killed" movies), Bambi: The Reckoning  is a fairly basic "family gathering in a house in the woods" movie, but with the presence/killer/monster being a 'roided-out, zombified, Toxic Avenger version of...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. In the short time since I finished writing yesterday's review/retrospective on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book , I learned the new, non-deprecated way to export my entire blog to a new platform. I will probably be doing that sometime in March (when I have less new content planned), so look forward to that, and fingers crossed I don't screw it up (why did I say that‽). With that said, it's time for the final book of Zenescope 's gender-swapped Jungle Book Trilogy, subtitled Fall Of the Wild (a pun that would make me expect some Jack London references, if I had any knowledge of his books beyond their titles and a movie I barely remember watching as a kid ). As The Jungle Book is pretty much a self-contained story with no impact on events in the larger Grimm Universe, I'm not worried about the fact that this third miniseries was originally published three years after the first. But it does present some intere...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Froggy Pagemaster. That byline works two ways, Ticketholders! First is that I had kind of a scare last Thursday night when Google Chrome didn't know how to access Blogger for four straight hours, and I strongly considered exporting my content to another platform (hopping, if you will). It's still in my thoughts to do so, but the instructions are several years old and no longer apply (which you can also take to mean that A.I. can now add an extra instance of being wrong to its learning database). There's even a help topic on Google where someone asked why the old instructions no longer work, and it was flagged as a duplicate question (even though it wasn't), locked out of receiving responses, and additional information on the subject links to a page that no longer exists, almost like Google doesn't want anyone to Frogger their way out of Blogger so that years of content can just go poof when they start to feel like it's the n...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of January 18, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It doesn't seem like terminating my subscription to BlogPros has changed anything. They were a big contributor to my analytics boom throughout  2024 , but beginning late in that year, I started to see diminishing returns that continued through the new year, and although a few kinds of posts did well in  2025 , I'm not seeing my traffic drop off, which means that one way or another, I've probably been getting scammed and you all are more awesome than I originally thought. So again, thank you. The future of the  Gachiakuta  review remains uncertain because the dub season hasn't finished airing yet. The second-to-last episode finally dropped this past week, so I'm aiming for a March publication now because I have four series to catch up on for February reviews (see the SMART Plan Outline below for what they are). I've been "reading" Rudyard Kipling's o...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a.i.j.u. The Ticketmaster. This Goj -Year- ra project will be my first time watching the majority of the movies in this franchise. I have vague memories of watching one or both of the Raymond Burr cuts ( King Of the Monsters and Godzilla 1985 ) as a child, and I made it no further than the first entry the last time I made an attempt at seeing every Godzilla movie ever. Here's how that went, edited FROM Just the Ticket #154: Last Man Standing (List Lookback) (August 30, 2024):   "...the time [in 2022] that I was going to watch every  Godzilla film and gave up after the 1954 original (which was amazing, but I didn't want to watch a week's worth of subtitled runtime, and my obsessive scope creep made me think I was going to also have to watch all of the Mothra and Gamera movies [and Rodan , and...])" It just shows what a little discipline and planning can do for motivation. But the point I was going with before I derailed it ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Last Omnibuster. I keep forgetting to mention this, but I intended to call this month Hook and Book  January (for the obvious reason that I'm reading The Jungle Book Trilogy and Neverland : Hook , and...). So, better two weeks late than never, I guess? I'm honestly struggling because my review of the first Jungle Book Volume  felt so good and back to form last week, and impostor syndrome is setting in that I won't be able to capture that natural feeling again by trying. And I started off reading Last Of the Species in kind of a negative state of mind anyway because right from the first issue, I encountered negative things to say about the production. The cover for the Jungle Book: Last Of the Species Trade Paperback is by frequent Zenescope contributors  Ale Garza  and  Sanju Nivangune , and was first used as the Digital Edition and A Cover for the miniseries' first issue. The Table Of Contents background is t...
