Article: The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2025)

Mar 15 2025 3 mins  
As popular as the Looney Tunes franchise is, it’s hard to believe there’s never been a theatrical film release of it that’s solely animated (sorry but Space Jam, it’s sequel, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action don’t count). Thankfully we have the first with The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie that blends classic slapstick comedy with some modern twists that’ll

Article: Night of the Zoopocalypse (2025)

Mar 06 2025 2 mins  
I’m always down for checking out family friendly films, especially those featuring animals going on crazy misadventures like the recent Paddington in Peru I reviewed. When I first learned about Night of the Zoopocalypse last year, it grabbed my attention right away when the creators said it was like Madagascar meets The Walking Dead.

Article: Monster Hunter: Wilds

If you're looking to shake up your life with an exhilarating experience, it's hard to beat a little bit of travel! The world's a big place and there's no shortage of amazing things to see and do out there. If the real world isn't enough for you, the world of gaming has plenty to offer as well! Capcom's Monster Hunter games really drive this home with their variety of settings, each

When it comes to visual novels, there are few publishers I trust more than PQube. While they definitely have their misses (looking at you, Celestia: Chain of Fate) they’ve put out some great titles like Bustafellows and Arcade Spirits.

Article: The Liminal Zone, Vol. 2 (2025)

Feb 28 2025 3 mins  
As noted in my review for the volume one of The Liminal Zone, first published in English back in 2022, fans of Junji Ito can expect two types of collections these days: freshly translated work from his seemingly bottomless well of content, and brand-new stories. It was firmly in the latter camp, created exclusively for the LINE manga app (which is way more popular than you’d thin

Article: Ninja Five-O

Feb 28 2025 4 mins  
The strange journey of Hudson Soft’s Ninja Five-O (or Ninja Cop, as it’s known in some areas) from obscurity to cult status is a strange one, but it makes sense when you look at the game in content. Originally released in 2003 for the Gameboy Advance, it was a game that already looked, sounded, and played like an ancient throwback even at the time.

Article: Macross -Shooting Insight-

Feb 26 2025 3 mins  
One of the nice things about living in the modern age, at least if you're a video game fan, is that practically everything gets localized. Anything that isn't localized probably gets a fan translation.

Movie Time! The Best, Worst, and Everything Else Movies of 2024

Feb 25 2025 215 mins  
It’s Popzara’s Movie Time! Podcast…for the year of 2024! And what a year, especially when it comes to the movies we loved, liked, and loathed. Regular hosts Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans are joined by editors Susana Bojorquez and (making his podcast debut) Brian Kwayi in a spectacular, extra-long episode overstuffed and ready to explode with everything that made this year in cin

Article: Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder (2024)

Feb 21 2025 4 mins  
Countless authors have written about death, even their own, but few have been able to document their almost deaths as publicly as Salmon Rushdie, who in August 2022 survived an assassination attempt at New York's Chautauqua Institution (ironically, just as he was about to deliver a speech about the creation of safe spaces for writers in America from elsewhere). Knife: Meditations A

Article: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.

Feb 21 2025 6 mins  
Time flies, doesn’t it? As SEGA’s acclaimed Virtua Fighter series celebrates its 30th anniversary, it’s almost hard to believe that nearly 2/3 of that time has been tied to the fifth iteration back when it originally hit the arcades in 2006. At that time, Virtua Fighter 5 was lauded as a next-gen marvel and served as a glimpse of what gaming hardware and the fighting game gen
