Call of Duty and Battlefield are poised to go head-to-head with releases just days apart. As we get closer to the holidays (yes, we know it's only the first full week of November) these games will be joined by a handful of others for grenade-tossing, meleeing,tea-bagging dominance. So, why not talk about first-person shooters as a whole? We keep th…

Hopefully, this nostalgia-driven, bonus-sized episode in the same vein as last week's 047: Dragon Ball will make up for it. Yep, we return to the public school lunch table and discuss Toonami. There's nothing that needs to particularly be said here. It's a rundown of o…

No doubt, you've heard the kerfuffle that transpired last week when Marvel announced that the helm of Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe has been taken up by a half Black and half Hispanic character: Miles Morales. Needless to say, while the majority of people responded with a reasonable "maybe it'll be good, maybe it won't" reaction. Unfortunatel…

This one is funny. No lecturing or formality. Just a fun time with bad movies. Good taste, logic, common decency...they all go out the window this time. Yes, we realize we have virtually no sense of shame or guilt. What movies could we possibly feel embarrassed to like? Not Sucker Punch (after all, we do have some credibility). Well, how about Godz…

Once upon a time, at the P.C.P. Brownstone, 4 evil exes were getting a life.

We've discussed the film and the game so now all that's left is discussing Bryan Lee O'Malley's 6-volume graphic novel. We t…
