Just the Ticket

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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-...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibeaster. The Month Of Love 2026 rolls dysfunctionally onward, Ticketholders! It's been awhile since I did one of these Myths & Legends Volumes ( The Little Mermaid last April, preceded by Little Red Riding Hood in November 2024), so you may not remember that, aside from the sixth and seventh issues (shut up, fellow kids!) being part of The Dream Eater Saga , the series so far has been an anthology of sequels to popular early issues of the Grimm Fairy Tales series, as well as a replacement for the canceled Grimm Tales  ongoing series that would have starred Samantha Darren . As sequels, each Volume has featured a reprint of their original issue(s) as bonus material for those who wish to catch up and avoid (or be reminded of) as much continuity whiplash as possible. If it wasn't obvious enough, the third Volume of Myths & Legends is a sequel series to the two-part Beauty & the Beast Collection . Grimm Fairy Tales Myth...
