No, I Don’t Want To Discuss It

Here’s Palpatine holding a shotgun in lieu of a trailer. Yes, I wonder how his hand passes through the handle too. No, I honestly don’t care, either. Because if they don’t care, then why should I?

So I might watch it, I’ll nod, I’ll go on with my day, and we’ll see what happens next. And that’s really all there is to it.

And then I’ll go back and watch the good movies… yes, even two of the prequels. Because Clones sucked.

First Eight Episodes Of Beast Morphers Now On Netflix

The first eight episodes of the current Power Rangers season, Beast Morphers, has just hit Netflix. This is good news for those who, like myself, haven’t been able to catch the show through Nick or whatever channel it would air on due to not having it available to them for one reason or another. I only got wind of this recently and thus have not had the chance to watch it, but knowing it’s there, I might give it a whirl when I have the free time.

The first season of the Hasbro-era of Power Rangers, Beast Morphers is based on the 2012 Super Sentai season, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. This marked the first time that the series actively went back to an older season of Sentai as the basis for its source material rather than a more recent or current series. The second season is slated to feature the “Dino Ranger Crossover” featuring the return of Austin St. John as JASON… and apparently, nobody else.

So, like I said, I’ll check it out when I have the chance and who knows? It might mean some material for this blog. We’ll see.

AEW Dynamite (Oct. 16th, 2019): That Kid Who Wrestles With Both Hands Tied Behind His Back

Another week, another fresh new edition of AEW Dynamite on TNT… and on TSN2. We’ve got two titles matches, another potential thread towards the Full Gear PPV, and another easy-to-watch two hours of wrestling. What more could you possibly ask for?

Heroes Of Wrestling… 20 Years Later

So it never occurred to me until recently that this month marked the twentieth anniversary of the now-infamous Heroes Of Wrestling PPV event. For those who don’t know of this show, it was an independent wrestling show that brought in some of the legendary names of wrestling who haven’t been signed up by either the WWF or WCW at the time and hold a little nostalgia act, with the intent of doing more of these if this first show became a success.

That obviously didn’t happen since the show was an complete and utter trainwreck due to most of the legends signed being past their prime, resulting in matches that barely broke the below average level of quality… not to mention the legends who were advertised and ultimately no showed. Of course, this show is notable for the utter on-screen collapse of Jake “The Snake” Roberts, who was a bit… debilitated, if you will.

I’ve seen this show live once on PPV… it was not a fun experience even without knowledge of all the backstage shenanigans. It was only years later through various readings of reviews that the full scope of this show’s failure became somewhat apparent.

In 2015, I was able to find an online posting of this show in its entirety and sat down to watch it for the first time since its initial airing. My thoughts were then parlayed into a musings that – if you’re reading this on the same day this post is published – can be accessed through the Post Of The Week gimmick on the sidebar. I might still have the show archived somewhere, but no way am I sitting through that thing again.

For those with mobile devices, you can read the musings here.
