Just the Ticket

Content Calendar Announcement, Week of February 22, 2026 by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It's the final week of the  Month Of Love , Ticketholders, and I am well ahead of the game, aside from having to stop my binge of May I Ask For One Final Thing? to edit this post with only the final episode remaining because it's Friday evening as I'm doing so. I didn't want to stop because I was really enjoying myself, but sometimes (more often than we'd like, really), happiness must take a backseat to obligation. I want to keep this brief so I can get back to the fun part of my recreational "job," but I must offer apologies for the audio quality of the  Like A Storm / Dem Franchize Boyz  mashup in my St. Valentine's Day MassacReMixtape playlist , and not noticing it sooner. I had hoped to fix the...mashup issue and have a more pleasant version ready to include in this post, but the apps I have available to me, given my limited time and financial re...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. It's only fitting that the Month Of Love would feature not just relationship-themed anime and comic books about archers and jilted lovers , but also a movie starring the King and Queen Of the Monsters. Mothra vs Godzilla (censored and Americanized as Godzilla vs The Thing —which just makes me want to see Godzilla fight a kaiju -sized Ben Grimm , or John Carpenter's arctic parasite monster , or the disembodied hand from The Addams Family —and not to be confused with Godzilla vs Mothra ) is Mothra's second film and Godzilla's fourth, chosen in place of a Kong sequel after the success of Mothra's debut . The team of Honda , Tsubaraya , Nakajima , and Tezuka returned yet again, bringing with them some of the same themes and setpieces that were present in King Kong vs Godzilla , such as commercial greed, characters visiting an island populated by kaiju -worshipping tribal stereotypes, the humans trying to defeat ...

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...
