Time Drops #37: Week Of January 28, 2024

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. the Ticketmaster

Greetings, Ticketholders!
I have a pretty full month of content ready for February, including some weekly Ticket Stubs and Anime Spotlight reviews, all of which I composed throughout a single week in January.
My intention is to spend February focusing on my last Marketing course at WGU so that I can return to a more robust content creation schedule in March.
With respect to my paying job, I am down to only one day a week of stressfully making food for people who don't want it because the stress of the deli position and their stupidity make me into an asshole, and I now work the rest of my shifts in the frozen aisle, cleaning out our massively backstocked walk-in freezer, doing light maintenance around the store, filling in other stock positions as needed, and generally feeling a longer-term sense of accomplishment that I can literally feel in my bones because I'm pushing forty.
I will keep the year-in-content list at the end of these posts going forward, in addition to the usual, weekly announcement. So please read beyond the weekly content calendar for more information on the year to come, and remember to comment at the bottom of this post, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't already, help out my ad revenue as you read, and check out my social media at the links below to like what you see and to receive the latest news on my content and calendars thereof.
Here it is:
  • Thursday (February 1) - Ticket Stubs #55: Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and TBT Anniversary (on Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn): Bad Ass
    • Saturday (February 3) - Time Drops #38: Week of February 4, 2024
    The twentieth anniversary of when I began my review career (SW@ Ticket started on Yahoo! Groups in 2004) got off to a pretty strong start with over five thousand views in the first week alone, and I hope to see even more traffic throughout February and in the months to come.
    In addition to the List Lookback that I announced in NPO #28, here's what I have definitively scheduled--pending any unforeseen circumstances (like deaths, compromised transportation, financial complications, etc.)--for the year so far (updates pending in future Time Drops as I make more decisions)
    • Weekly Regulars (post-March):
      • GFT Retrospective / Zenescope - Omnibusted
      • DB What Ifs
      • NPO Old Essays (post-April)
      • TBT Anniversary
    • Thursday, July 25 - Ticket Stubs: Sideways (comparative)
    • Wednesday, September 4 (Jason David Frank's birthday) - Just the Ticket: Legend Of the White Dragon
    • Thursday, November 28 - Ticket Stubs: House Of Wax (comparative)
    • Monday, March 18 - Anime Spotlight: Black Clover (After St. Patrick's Day)
    • Friday, March 29 - Just the Ticket: 65
    • Sunday, March 31 - Just the Ticket: Bunnyman Trilogy (Easter Sunday)
    • Monday, April 1 - Dragon Blog Z: What If the Buu Saga Didn’t Happen? (This is real!)
    • R.L. Stine October (Viewer Beware!):
      • Just the Ticket: Fear Street Trilogy
      • Stay Tuned: Goosebumps Classic
      • Stay Tuned: Goosebumps Disney+
      • Just the Ticket: Goosebumps Double-Feature (Halloween)
    • Thanksgiving - Just the Ticket: Thanksgiving
    • Christmas - Just the Ticket: Maniac Cop Trilogy
    I would like to get Zenescope's blessing first, but I'm considering compiling my GFT Retrospective reviews so far into an e-book form. Let me know what you think about this idea down below.

    Ticketmaster,
    Out.

    Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

    Image
    Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

    Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

    Image
    Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

    Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

    Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
