Time Drops #125: Week of November 2, 2025

Content Calendar Announcement,
Week of November 2, 2025
by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. The Tired Ticketmaster.

Welcome to November, Ticketholders. 🥱 
After yesterday morning (which is this morning because I'm banging this out Friday night and you're reading it sometime on Saturday, which is also this morning because I fell asleep and had to get up early to finish it) and my workday (and personal life) being sources of exhaustion for various reasons, I didn't really feel like writing this. I got too far ahead, too comfortable, and too lazy, and I paid for my procrastination, and now you're "hearing" me (or maybe you have a voice in your head that you imagined for me as you read?) whine about it. I'm even putting Vampire Survivors down for a few days until I hear back from the developer about my glitched data. No Anime Spotlight or Just the Ticket reviews in November, either (which was always the plan because I have two anime, a six-plus-season American cartoon, and four horror movies to watch and review for December). This week's Zenescope content is even going to be an Omnibusted compilation because that was the plan, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be low-effort right now.
But despite what I want, the Universe had other plans, because I forgot to mention as a capper for the Urban Legend Double-Feature that there has been a sequel/reboot trapped in Development HFIL for the past five years, amid much...democratic finger-pointing (read: the COVID pandemic and "loss of interest").
We don't know much about it aside from production information (Neal H. Moritz again) and that it will "examine what an urban legend looks like in a post-digital world."
First of all, the fuck does "post-digital" mean? Digital is the opposite of analog, creating (theoretically) clearer signals by using binary, bit-based data transmission and storage in place of the overlapping, wave-based flow of analog transmission used by traditional radio, cassette tapes, and low-res televisions. So unless we've discovered some fusion of the two or a superior alternative to digital while the President destroys our economy and the positive symbols of American history, we're still using digital!
Digits are also another word for our fingers, so does using voice-activation for the majority of our (digital data-based storage and transmission) devices' functions make this shitty modern age "post-digital"? Let me check.... 🖕 Nope, still using my fingers to communicate and operate my smartphone.
So now that we've established that "post-digital" is bullshit, let's talk about what modern urban legends could mean. Is it Slender Man? Been done. Creepypastas? Outdated and impractical to execute. Conspiracy theories and media grifting? Too close to home. Or maybe they do an in-Universe thing where Brenda and Professor Solomon are the urban legends and someone is copycatting their killing sprees because internet, media, and politics bad, and Natalie, Amy, and Reese have to save a crop of zoomer influencers from certain but easily avoidable (and therefore not certain) doom. Also been done before. At least twice. But it's a formula that (usually) works. I think I'll continue to breathe, folks, because pre-production speculation is a grifter's game that I don't want to play right now. Or ever.
Speaking of times the legasequel premise has worked, a Scream 7 trailer dropped yesterday!
I love the title design. I love Neve Campbell returning and Sydney having a daughter (Yellowstone's Isabel May). I love the return to a more intimate, personal scale of horror after Scream VI's big-city vibe. Less attractive is this entry's use of dead horses. Matthew Lillard (seriously, what is with having Matthews in slasher sequels‽), Scott Foley, and David Arquette have been announced to return despite their characters being...well, dead. Archive or exposition footage (like with Jamie Kennedy in the third movie) is my hope. The daughter's name is even Tatum (Rose McGowan)! But the trailer, divorced from the postmortem casting because I looked it up on Wikipedia and it has nothing to do with the trailer, is an absolute draw for me. I'm waiting for digital/streaming, but Scream 7 is coming to theaters on February 27th. I will have words; hopefully positive ones. Because I like Scream as a franchise.

This turned into more of a Coming Distractions/New Piece Offerings thing than a Time Drops post intro, but thank you all for supporting me and joining me on this continuing journey (October hit over six thousand views, which is almost a thousand better than September!), and all I ask is that you keep reading after the November calendar for more on my daunting future content plans, and please remember to comment at the bottom of my Blogger posts, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't yet, help out my ad revenue as you read because winter is coming and government assistance is gone, and follow me on social media at the links below to like what you see and to receive the latest news on my content and calendars thereof.

Out of Time and Energy.

Just the Ticket #195: I Know What You Did Last Summer

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster Who Doesn't Know What You Did Last Summer. I did not like these movies, Ticketholders! I mean, I liked the first two when they came out almost thirty years ago, which is why the third one disappointed me so much that I only ever watched it once and didn't even want to watch it for this review (but I watched the Children Of the Corn franchise and most of The Curse movies, so it's nothing by comparison). The second time I watched the first two movies, I thought the core four were unsympathetic, the villain reveal came out of nowhere, the second movie was obvious and stupid, and Julie James was the worst final girl of all time. But has my opinion changed with time, book knowledge , and exposure to eight hours of Amazon-produced zoomer torture ? Let's find out, and then check out this year's legacy sequel to see if it's as bad as everyone says. Directed by Jim Gillespie ( Joyride —not to be confused with Joy Ri...

Dragon Blog Z #37: What If The Buu Saga Never Happened?

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. A MasakoX Fan This was kind of a spur of the moment thing that I came up with while scrolling through YouTube in 2023, and I came across a poll that asked when Dragon Ball Z  should have ended, giving the Cell Saga and the Buu Saga as its options. I wasn't able to find the poll recently, as it is too old, but I started writing this the same week the poll was posted, so I know that the majority of voters said that the Cell Saga was the better ending point, so I thought about what the series would have been like if we went from the Cell Saga into Super , and here we go: The most obvious thing to do would be to cover some adaptation of the post-Cell movies, starting with Bojack Unbound . Future Trunks would have gone back to his timeline after the Cell Games and used his newly gained strength to wipe out the Androids and Cell, but not  returned to participate in X.S. Cash's "Intergalactic" Tournament (because that was stupid in the movi...

GFT Retrospective #86: The Dream Eater Saga #6 (Salem's Daughter One-Shot)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. My 2024 return to covering Zenescope content began with The Red Rose  as a last-minute decision I made because Valentine's Day happened to land on a Wednesday last year, and...roses. And because I tend to let each year's content influence my choices for the following year, this post is obviously coming out the Wednesday before Valentine's Day this year. I mean, you are reading it right now, right? I struggled with whether to keep this as a Grimm Fairy Tales Retrospective or expand it into a Zenescope - Omnibusted , as well as whether  Salem's Daughter  fit into my "just link it because the lore is too dense" rule, especially since my original Salem's Daughter review was an Omnibusted post. So, because my unwritten rule about indecision (until I write it right...about...now...) is to decide on everything, the link is up above and the copied text for my reviews of  Salem's Daughter  and  Salem's...
