    Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) is on a tear of late, and here’s yet another anime series from him, Terror in Resonance (Zankyo no Terror). Surprise, surprise, it’s pretty much impossible to tell where this is going based on just the first episode, but I’m definitely intrigued, and looking forward to seeing where they…

    After watching Death on the Nile, I got in the mood to watch more Agatha Christie mysteries – which I’m sure would make my parents happy, as they continue to watch all of the series that get produced – and we found that Hulu Japan has the 1984 BBC Miss Marple series. We’ll probably end…

    Over the past few years I’ve been occasionally reading Agatha Christie novels – I’m currently reading Peril at End House – and I was in the mood to watch this. I’m not quite sure if I did see this back in the day or not – I could have, and I do remember seeing most…

    It’s a crime against humanity that Jodorowsky’s Dune was never made. This is an absolutely fascinating documentary – possibly the best film I’ve seen this year – and you can’t help but feel excited as Jodorowsky walks you through what the film would have been like. The whole time watching it I couldn’t help but…

    Lordy, lordy, look who’s… 80. The next edition of PauseTalk is just over a week away (happening on Monday, July 7), and not only is it the Vol. 80, but it also marks the 8th anniversary of the series. (Well, last month would have been the true anniversary, since I started it in June, but…

    I like documentaries like this, that for the most part tell a story that has happened, but then cap it by actively adding an extension to the story. It reminded me a bit of Jack White’s It Might Get Loud documentary, which I also really enjoyed. But yeah, what a great story, of this little…

    I was late getting into LCD Soundsystem. Sure, I’d heard some tracks over the years, but it was really when he announced that he was stopping the band that I took attention, and watched a stream of that final concert, and have been enjoying the albums ever since. This documentary, which is a mix of…

    Imagine an NES game, but done if the NES had kept evolving a few more years. I’m having a blast playing this, and I’m doing so mostly playing it on the Wii U controller – there’s also a 3DS version, but since I play even my 3DS games at home, I figured the Wii U…

    What a great piece of sci-fi, and so original. Based on a French comic, it’s the story of humanity surviving an apocalyptic occurrence by living on a train that is constantly in movement. Yeah, the setup is super weird, but it’s a really neat concept to explore, and some of the characters here are so…

    This was just so great to watch. I’m a huge fan of Kathleen Hanna’s music – mostly Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin – but I didn’t really know much about the health issues she was dealing with. The film itself does a great job of telling her story, and of course, you get to…
