Time Drops #144: Month Of May, 2026

Content Calendar Announcement,
Week of May 3, 2026
by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. The Ticketmaster.

You may have been expecting to see my review of Godzilla vs Megalon drop yesterday, and I did start writing it on Thursday after a grueling day of misinformation, missed connections, and mass transit, but I decided to put it off for a week and give my brain a few days of rest in preparation for the month when I get older, which it now is, so I have to come up with a plan for the content to come in the weeks ahead.
As for the month gone by, according to the following image, Just the Ticket finished April nearly three hundred views short of my goal of ten thousand, as of 5pm Pacific Standard Time on April 30.
But that figure is nothing to sneeze at (seasonal allergy pun not intended, but I'll take it), and my reading/sharing audience continues to be the best pseudo-silent minority on the internet, so thank you all for doing what you do.
All I can do at this point is reset my goal for a new month and push ahead as time intended.
The Road to 10k Views per month is still a path I resolve to travel this year despite its bumps, blocks, and loops, and I'm glad to not be walking it alone.
Aside from content delays and dreams deferred, April brought massive news on three fronts that have been bugging me for various lengths of time, starting with BlogPros. They recently finished revamping their business model into a more expensive, corporate-oriented, AI-driven services package, and I was at last able to contact their new pre-sales division and not only get my subscription canceled, but get refunds for the last six months of non-service I "received," with their response time being a shockingly quick twenty-four hours.
Next, it seems like the much-delayed (and allegedly problematic to the point of fraud, exploitation, and worse, such that the Power Rangers fandom might incinerate it on principle like a late-70s homophobe with a disco record) release of Legend Of the White Dragon might finally have an official theatrical date of August 28. I'm still going to watch it, but the important question is how.
Finally and most hugely important, HeroMachine is back with a new Phoenix Edition that runs natively in your browser and has been getting updated all month long with new assets and features, all drawn by the GOAT, the MM&L, Mr. Jeff Hebert. I haven't touched it yet, but I do intend on using it to create lead-up content for my big milestone project.
It's all uphill from here (because that's been a three-month trend so far and Disco Stu doesn't advertise), so please remember to comment at the bottom of my Blogger posts, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't yet, share and care wherever you can, help out my ad revenue as you read, 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.

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...

Anime Spotlight #50: My Hero Academia (2025 Update)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Quirky Animeister This review has been through a lot over the past half-year, Ticketholders! When I originally began this update in late January, the fourth My Hero Academia film had not been made available to stream anywhere, so I was content to merely continue where my thoughts on Season Six left off originally and wrap up this post with Season Seven. Then, I realized that I was too far removed from those seasons for my review to sound or feel like anything but a Wikipedia summary, so I pushed things back to May so I could rewatch them, except that I was already working on my  Fishman Island and Punk Hazard reviews, so I didn't have time to do that, and there was all that stress surrounding my phone , and Vigilantes started airing...so I pushed things back again , deciding that I would set a hard deadline of August once I knew Vigilantes had ended and the fourth movie was available on streaming. And after many sleepless nights of awesom...

Zenescope - Omnibusted #36: Wonderland Volume One

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. As I begin November in need of some downtime to consume more media, get ahead of my December content (I'm halfway through Rascal Does Not Dream Of Santa Claus , and drafting its review, which is why I've just started editing this Omnibusted compilation the Monday before publication), and prepare for the very real possibility that Presidential stubbornness and partisan warfare will take a chainsaw to my financial stability because the majority population of my county, and my employer's customer base (who openly support, and voted twice for, the Great Pumpkin—there are multiple prominent signs in my town to that effect that would likewise benefit from a good chainsawing) are on government assistance (which no longer exists because no one currently in power has ever won Jenga before), I once again find myself at a loss for words when it comes to a proper editing job that requires more effort than the average ComiXology Trad...
