Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. To put your minds at ease if you're a new reader, I assure you that I use my bevy of aliases for my various columns to differentiate them from one another while identifying my singular self, not because I'm secretly Sean Combs or a wanted criminal (unless it's a crime to repeat myself, or to enter the state of Minnesota with slightly darker than average skin, the latter of which I am currently too terrified and transportation-deficient to do, so, lucky me?). But enough biting topical remarks; now that I've made it uncomfortable to remind you that Valentine's Day is behind us and it's still the Month Of Love (because I recently learned that "Love" was one of Combs' aliases—that he probably kept changing so he'd be harder to sue or prosecute, but that's just layman speculation on my part), it's time to revisit my favorite fictional sociopath who derives empty joy from putting arrows in ri...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Animeister. It's week three of the Month Of Love , Ticketholders! And the anime selections this month followed a particular progression, from imperial romance in The Apothecary Diaries , to modern romance and costume design in My Dress-Up Darling , and now that the dress is made, it's time for some Tales Of Wedding Rings ! If you've been waiting for smutty, generic isekai harem trash with just enough intelligent differentiation to garner a curious glance, Tales Of Wedding Rings is a finished two-season anime (at least, it feels that way) based on a finished manga by Maybe (yes, I'm serious, but they also did To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts , which I vaguely remember being of some quality) that asks "what if Conception was kinda good, less cringe, and also more than half-animated?" As a boy, Haruto Satou witnessed Krystal Nokonatika and her grandfather Alabaster (yes, I'm pretty sure all of the characters are named ...

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of February 15, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. Surprisingly, this past week went off almost without a hitch (a saying that apparently originated from nautical terminology for a particular kind of knot, or for any knot getting stuck or snagged, which is funny because Google gives a successful wedding—also referred to as "getting hitched" or "tying the knot"—as something that "went off without a hitch," which makes the wedding unsuccessful ‽) even though it was slightly more packed with new content than usual. There were a few days where I had to promote late because of work and energy level, and I was still editing my MassacReMixtape post  on the morning of publication, but otherwise, it was smooth sailing (which also feels like a paradoxical saying because the wind you take advantage of to sail affects the waves, too, but I've been told to avoid colloquialisms in internationally visible content, ...

ArticlebySeanWilkinson,a.k.a.TheTicketmaster. I promise not to do the entire review like that (not that the blog is doing that well right now anyway, so who knows if it would make a difference...). Today, I'm talking about a movie that I knew and liked the basic idea of from the trailer, but really only committed myself to reviewing because of the subject matter and it being the Month Of Love right now. Written and directed by  Michael Shanks  as his feature-length debut (he did three short films before this), 2025's Together  (not to be confused with the 2021 COVID drama , the 2015 TV series , the Swedish dramedy from 2000 , the 1971 mockumentary , or the 2023 romantic comedy Better Half that Shanks and this movie's star/producer couple allegedly plagiarized) is a body horror drama distributed by NEON (who also brought us Longlegs , so that's a good sign of my sarcasm), produced by enough companies to justifiably earn it an opening logo sin (also a good sign, jus...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. DJ TimeDrop Welcome backward, Ticketholders! It's been a decade or more since I last touched a mixing program, but I'm incredibly proud of (most of) the thirty-plus mash-ups and remixes I was able to put together back then, including the beginnings of a Fort Minor & Modest Mouse Mash-Up album and holiday mixes for Christmas and Valentine's Day, the latter of which I'll be sharing with you today because it's the Throwback Thursday before Valentine's Day in the Month Of Love ). I'll be going over the track list, including my inspirations, changes I'd make if I were to modernize things, and anything else that comes to mind as I write. Give it a listen here (apologies for the lack of video on short notice): First of all, I have no technical music skill, so I don't know about tempo or key or anything like that; I just went with whatever I think felt right together in the moment and did my best with what resources I ...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. What would the Month Of Love be without an archer, right, Ticketholders? She's the furthest thing from Cupid, but I'm excited to be looking back on Zenescope 's next crack at the "gender-swap public domain folk character into legally distinct Avengers / Justice League archetype" formula, brought to glorious life by my favorite GFT writer of all time, Pat "Bolder" Shand ! Robyn Hood Volume One Robyn Hood , as I'm reviewing it today, exists digitally in three forms: the individual issues, the Trade Paperback, and the trilogy Omnibus (sometimes marketed as Robyn Hood: Origins  to avoid confusion with the Robyn Hood  Ongoing series she would get later because she's an awesome character that fans love and she's still getting miniseries publications to this day. The cover used for the Trade Paperback here is another awesome one by  Stjepan Šejić , taken from the C Cover for the first issue. The c...
