Just the Ticket #206: Together

Image
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...

The Mash-Up Issue #3: DJ TimeDrop's St. Valentine's Day MassacReMixtape

Image
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 ...

Zenescope - Omnibusted #45: Robyn Hood

Image
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...

Characters Are Made #22: Six L'Orange Redeux

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, Ex-HeroMachiner, Ticketmaster, And Humble Narrator. Dear brothers and only droogs, malchiks and devotchkas alike, your humble narrator has put upon himself to govoreet; that being how I made a right snoutie cal of what would otherwise be a horrorshow if I'd been interessovated to viddy  A Clockwork Orange  before I got to rabbit. Okay; enough Nadsat. I'm not a nadsat, so I shouldn't be speaking it. It means "teenager" according to the glossary I used , which means I'm basically doing that Steve Buscemi meme to show you that I finally watched A Clockwork Orange this past week. This is a re-write (a Redeux , as the title says) of the character bio of the anti-heroine Sextant (alias of Six L'Orange) , whom I created using the Flash game HeroMachine 3 back in 2014, and as I said up above, I made a mucousy shit of her origin story because I lacked the time or interest to watch the movie I based her on. As such, this is also as much ...

Anime Spotlight #70: My Dress-Up Darling

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Animeister. Valentine's Day is this Saturday, so the week is more packed than it usually would be (not that I don't just randomly do this to myself when there isn't a holiday reason to do so). So it's a good thing I'm reviewing a chill, slice-of-life anime to start off the madness. As is usually the case (when I'm not absolutely backlogged with series I want to catch up on and I've actually been watching episodes of things as they come out), I choose which anime I'm going to watch and/or review based on the seasonal recommendation videos of Mother's Basement (and maybe some generic trash that catches my eye after a few episodes), and today's series up for discussion is from way back in January 2022, but I didn't review it then because I and the insane state of the world at the time were too busy making my life suck and I didn't feel like it. If you've been following my content for at least the p...

Time Drops #139: Week Of February 8, 2026

Image
Content Calendar Announcement, Week of February 8, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. This week and weekend have been absolute crunch as I prepare for the week ahead. And speaking of weak in the head, before I began writing this, I had just finished watching A Clockwork Orange  for the first time in preparation for my Six "Sextant" L'Orange Redeux post on Tuesday, and my brain is spinning with ideas of how to approach her re-worked origin story. But before that, I have to watch the last six episodes of My Dress-Up Darling Season Two for Monday's Anime Spotlight (which I haven't started writing yet) and after that, I have to read Robyn Hood Volume One for Wednesday and edit together a playlist video and an  Instagram  short for Thursday's new piece of content. Also, I messed up in my King Kong vs Godzilla review when I said that I would be reviewing Mothra vs Godzilla on Friday because anxiety and crunch insomnia are bad for my sense of ...

Just the Ticket #204: King Kong VS Godzilla

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Master Of Crossovers. Yeah; I changed things up with the byline this week because "Master Of the Tickets" (a "King Of the Monsters"-inspired take on my usual Ticketmaster alias, not to be confused with the byline for my One Piece Multi-Piece reviews) is awkward to say, and I've done more than my fair share of crossovers on this platform. It may be called Just the Ticket , but if you're reading my content for the first time, I review anime , comic books , music , books , and TV series as well as movies , and I have occasion to mash them together or create themed weeks if there's a common thread. Also, welcome (back?) to the Month Of Love , and to Goj -Year- ra ! Over the past several years (possibly the last decade or more), there has been much critical conversation about tonal consistency in big-budget cinema, particularly the toxic derision of " Marvel humor" or " James Gunn humor" by media-...
