Six (6) Korean Drama Movie Gems to Add To Your Watchlist (Part 1 of 2)
The Korean drama movie gems listed in this two-part article were released between 2012 and 2017. Part 1 and Part 2 list three (3) movies each.

MILF Manor Season 2, Yes This brain rotter got a Season 2
“MILF Manor” Season 1 shattered our expectations for humanity’s future, showcasing eight cougars dating each other’s sons. These women, all divorced and in their 40s, are romantically involved with men in their 20s. Watching a 60-year-old woman, heavily botoxed and surgically enhanced, engaging in intimate acts with a 20-year-old twinks may seem like the epitome of trash TV, but unfortunately, it’s a ratings goldmine. While this show might sound like the plot of an adult film, it’s actually a Reality TV series airing on TLC, formerly known as The Learning Channel. Despite its controversial content, the success of the first season has secured a second season. It’s a departure from TLC’s educational roots. One memorable moment from the first season involves a son discovering that his mother had slept with his friends. Additionally, there’s a challenge where mothers attempt to identify their sons among a lineup of shirtless men by feeling their abs. Just imagine the potential for a spin-off titled “DILF Manor,” featuring elderly men dating each other’s daughters.(There

Sweet Tooth Finally ending in Season 3
Sweet Tooth has broken the curse of graphic novel adaptations. While graphic novels like “Warrior Nun,” “American Born Chinese,” and “Paper Girls” received positive reviews, they failed to draw in ratings, resulting in their cancellation. The live-action adaptation of “Y: The Last Man” generated hype but turned out to be a slow-paced snooze fest, focusing on the wrong characters and leading to its cancellation. However, Sweet Tooth has surpassed expectations, and its planned trilogy will reach completion. Season 3, set to launch on June 6, will mark its final installment. Ending in Season 3 is a preferable outcome compared to being abruptly canceled before its intended conclusion. It’s a rarity for good Netflix shows to receive closure these days, given the platform’s tendency to cancel shows frequently. Christian Convery, who portrays the lovable human-deer hybrid Gus, has seized various opportunities, including playing Young Sanji in “One Piece” and starring in two upcoming movies. Series creator Jim Mickle ensured that Season 3 was filmed promptly to avoid the continuity problems often

Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars Coming June 4
We’ve covered Mutant: Year Zero and its various expansions many times over around here. It’s the longest-running TTRPG Free League publishes, having been introduced around the mid-80s. What they announced today is a spinoff of a different sort…Zone Wars, a game that takes the world of Year Zero into tabletop miniatures. Follow the mutants, animals and robots of the Zone as they struggle to turn the Rot-infested wasteland into a new dawnland, threatened by a new shadowy enemy that could be the end of them all… The game was designed by Andy Chambers (Necromunda, Battlefleet Gothic, Warhammer Fantasy Battle) with Tomas Härenstam (Mutant: Year Zero, ALIEN RPG) and Nils Karlén (Coriolis: The Third Horizon, Forbidden Lands). The miniatures have been sculpted by Alejandro Muñoz Martín and Daniel BlueIce, in 32 mm format. They are table ready right out of the box and require no additional assembly. The core set supports two players and includes ten detailed 32 mm miniatures (five each for the Ark Mutants and the Genlab Tribe), cards,

New NES Game Chew Chew Mimic Launches Kickstarter
YouTuber John Riggs is one of the big names when it comes to videos about retro games….and lately, he’s started making some himself! (Would they really be “retro” in that sense?) His latest project is a collaboration with Lowtek Games: Chew Chew Mimic. The crowdfunding campaign to produce physical NES carts is now live. You’re no doubt familiar with the mimic as a concept. A monster that appears in D&D and video game RPGs in the guise of a treasure chest. When the hero opens it, they discover snapping jaws instead of loot. This creature is at the centerpiece of John’s new game, in which you’ve got to guide hapless knights through various dungeon rooms. The knights move on their own, and you must direct their movement by placing tiles carefully so they dodge obstacles and don’t become stuck. The goal is to get the knight to the end of the room….and into the mouth of the mimic. Yep, you’re ultimately helping the mimic. 4 different knight types to consider

Extreme G, Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls Hit Nintendo Switch Online
An unexpected pair of games landed on Nintendo Switch Online this evening. Nintendo throws us some curveballs now and then but usually those balls aren’t literal. Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls is now on NSO, originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 — and a pretty darn original title for the system. It’s a racing game where you play as one of many wacky heads rolling down a curving, looping track. You must avoid not only enemies and obstacles but your fellow racers, who can knock you off if they feel like it. However, it’s possible to roll off track on purpose and find a shortcut, turning a fail into a victory. The multiplayer mode supports up to four players in split-screen. Who needs to race in a vehicle when you’re spherical? Ball out with Iggy and his eclectic reckin’ crew as you smash and swing your way through vertical races set on a series of towering tracks. Take shortcuts, zip through loops and avoid enemies bent on stopping your ascent

DC Comics Solicitations July 2024
July is the month everything busts loose with DC’s biggest crossover event of 2024: Absolute Power! Amanda Waller has at last found a way to achieve her dreams of world domination: by stealing the powers of the greatest heroes on Earth (and the villains, for good measure) and transplanting them into her willing robotic servants! She executes her plan in ABSOLUTE POWER #1, out July 3. Can no one stop her? Well, Batman has never needed powers to kick evil around…. We’ll see how Waller’s domination has affected individual heroes in the TASK FORCE VII series, to be released weekly. In issue 1, on July 10, Earth has a new Superman and he’s not a friendly one. THE LAST SON begins his reign of terror and starts hunting down the remaining superheroes who can oppose Waller. In Issue 2, on July 24, Aquaman has been displaced by DEPTH CHARGE, Waller’s custom Amazo Robot who now possesses Curry’s physical AND political powers. And in Issue 3 on July 31, Waller’s Green

Microsoft Introduces X-Men 97 XBox Series X And Controllers
X-Men 97, currently running through its first season on Disney+, is a spectacular revival of one of the 90s’ most beloved cartoons. I suppose we can count the C-suite at Microsoft among their fans, as they’ve just revealed a special XBox Series X with a custom paint job in honor of the series. The special design is a series of comic panels depicting the X-Men battling the Sentinels and Master Mold that wraps around the console’s shell. It wasn’t ripped from a comic, it was written by Rich Douek and drawn by artist Paco Diaz specifically for this console. And that’s not all! Microsoft also went through the trouble of painting eleven XBox controllers in the colors of every X-Men member from the show. Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Morph, Magneto, Jubilee, Gambit, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast and Bishop are all represented and come sealed in blister packages. Sounds great, so where can you buy them? ….Um, nowhere. This isn’t a product intended for sale. It’s a contest prize. To enter, you

Metaphor ReFantazio Releases October 11
Looks like Atlus is almost ready to release Metaphor ReFantazio, the fantasy RPG from the creators of Persona. The game was given an Ocrober release date and a new trailer this afternoon. In case you’ve been wondering why there hasn’t even been a hint of Persona 6 in years, it’s because we’re getting this instead. The presentation and aesthetic feels a lot like Persona and so do the battle mechanics. Socializing with NPCs is also said to be an important part of the game (just like Persona). The only major difference is the setting, trading Persona’s more modern locale for a series of fantastical areas. The king is dead. Long live….who? Maybe it’ll be you. The throne is up for anyone to take, provided they can make a good enough impression to voters. This, of course, is easier for the rich and aristocratic than it is for your lower-class character, who will have to travel all over the country drumming up support. One way to earn a lot of favor

Embracer Lets Go: Swedish Megacorp Splits Into Three
A couple years ago an investment firm emerged from Sweden with the sinister name of Embracer Group. The company proved their name by going on an insane purchasing spree across the globe, buying out dozens of other companies in an incredibly short time. Embracer’s entire plan hinged on the belief that rich Saudi investors would pick up the tab. They did not. It’s a blessing in disguise that Embracer failed, because if this scheme hadn’t collapsed, having one corporation control all those others wouldn’t have been good for anyone but the handful at the top. They have announced plans to break the company up into three smaller ones, which are still comparatively large, but not AS large. The names they picked for these companies are…interesting. (Even more interesting than “Embracer Group.”) Tabletop games publisher Asmodee will once again be its own entity, but it will also be the umbrella for all the other tabletop IPs Embracer bought, including Ticket to Ride, 7 Wonders, Azul, CATAN, Dobble and Exploding Kittens, as

Transformers One Is A Different Kind Of Adventure
At this point the Transformers are just as well-known around the multiplex as they are around the toy aisle. There have been endless Autobot and Decepticon films of varying quality since the original came out in 1986. There has been nothing, though, quite like the animated picture Transformers One, which Paramount and Hasbro unveiled today with its first trailer. How do you feel about this: a wacky buddy comedy starring Optimus Prime and Megatron, in the days before they were enemies? That’s where this goes, and though there are adventure and action elements hinted at in the trailer, this is a comedy through and through. Every scene is punctuated by a “whoa, did THAT happen?” remark, which isn’t exactly sophisticated humor, but better than what Bay came up with. Seems Optimus wasn’t always as powerful as we know him to be….he started out as Orion Pax, an average civilian of Cybertron who could not transform. Megatron was known as D-16, and was considerably less sinister. They lived in an underground
