My 6 Favorite Things of 2023
Who could imagine that the end of another year has come. I turned 40 this year, and life is what it is. My job got a lot busier, my bank account got a lot smaller, and I’ve got a few different comic projects in the works! More on that later. For now, it’s time to celebrate my favorite pop culture media from the past year.
As always, I don’t listen to music, so I don’t have any favorite songs from the year. Mostly I’m here to talk about video games, movies, TV show and comics, my favorite hobbies! I’ve thrown in a couple of other entries to get up to six, because a man has a theme.
So join me after the jump for my favorite bits from pop culture in the past year. And feel free to share your own favorite things from the past year in the comments below!

6 Thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
I was all prepared to do a review/List of Six this week on the second season of Loki. It was a good season, and despite the failure of The Marvels at the box office, I remain a diehard MCU fan. But then I watched Scott Pilgrim Takes Off over the weekend and I just need to tell you about it!
TV Show Review: 10/10 – Fantastic!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is now playing on Netflix, so go and watch it! The show is produced by original comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, with assistance, and it’s so damn good! I don’t want to give anything away in this opening blurb. I was always going to watch this anime, because why not? But now that I have seen it all, I’m going to sing it’s praises as much as possible, because it’s such a damn fun show! And a damn fine follow-up to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie from years ago, which I did and still do love completely. I’m not a major fan of the comics, but all the adaptations have so far been stellar!
Join me after the jump for my review/thoughts on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryThe Scott Pilgrim Anime Looks Sweet
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a month away and it looks pretty sweet. I love the movie, I enjoyed the comics well enough, and if Netflix wants to spend their money making a full-sized, movie cast-voiced Scott Pilgrim anime, I’m all for it. Should be a fun watch.
Some scenes are recognizable, but a lot of this trailer looks new and crazy. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World did a lot to capture the zaniness of the comic, but this anime is really going hard with it. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off should be a blast next month!
The anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

Scott Pilgrim Anime Coming in Hot!
I love the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie, and I’ve always been disappointed that it is not this grand, beloved hit film. That thing is great! The comics are good too, though I think they got a little lost in the weeds towards the end. So I’m almost fully on board with Netflix making a Scott Pilgrim cartoon/anime that seems to…just recreate the movie? Or maybe it’s gonna focus more on the comic? Or have some original stuff? I can’t really tell.
Whatever this thing is going to be, I’m sure it will be fun! Looks very hectic, very cool and the animation looks stellar. Bringing back the movie actors to be the voice cast in a choice and I hope it works out for them. I didn’t need the cast to come back. I’m sure voice actors need work too. But I’m on board to see how this whole thing goes.
Scott Pilgrim the anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

If Only Harry Potter Had Been Like This From the Beginning
Remember that utterly genius cross between Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy? Of course you do. Well how about Harry Potter done in the style of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!
We owe this bit of greatness to The Unusual Suspect, who made both videos. Whoever this person is, somebody give him some kind of expensive government grant so that he can keep being a creative genius!
