A ★★★½ review of Black Phone 2 (2025)
Now I didn’t love The Black Phone as it was somewhat weak and derivative despite its somewhat interesting premise, aesthetic, and having the coup of an actor like Ethan Hawke playing its villain. But...

Matty Matsuda with a since outlawed version of an ippon seoi nage, demonstrating the skills which won him light and welterweight championships in the 1920s, the first Japanese pro wrestling champion walking the long road from Kumamoto to Battle Creek. #njpw #ajpw #wrestlesky

A ★★★½ review of The Running Man (2025)
A proper 7/10. Good fun, some fun enough action, but certainly not Fury Road in that respect. Lots of pointed satire, but nowhere near Robocop. It’s an idiot plot from the get-go, and more and more id...

New video! Today we're looking at some strange Puroresu title reigns. There's Ryota Hama's shock TC win, the New Japan Soviet invasion, and plenty of Inokism with Tadao Yasuda and Bob Sapp. Enjoy and please share :) youtu.be/L92-Lkf2Zzc

Two weeks worth of physical media pick-ups coming up (some were ordered many months ago too!)
So let’s start with the one I ordered longest ago! The 4K UHD steelbook Nightmare on Elm Street set. These films have long needed some extra TLC as the existing masters were old!

Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

Let's see... a one on one sport prone to fluke results that generates enormous revenue but transfers almost none of it to increasingly anonymous athletes in a global environment of rapid gambling expansion. Maybe you could write a better formula for fight fixing but I sure couldn't.

Joe Beckett splayed on the canvas and Georges Carpentier standing, a 1st rd Ko. Referee JT Hulls Jr is ducking between the ropes.
The image was cropped for a magazine or book.
Lastly, with Bacon’s dry paint alterations.
