The things I do for you people. So, Ogre and I spent all of Monday night reading synopses on every streaming service the household has and not actually watching anything. So tonight (Tuesday) I say, “Seriously, we have to watch something. Because I can’t just keep bitching about social isolation and other life bullshit. And… Read More Geek Girls Rule #648 – Review: RiffTrax The Sword and The Sorcerer
Ok, so we finished watching the rest of the Harley Quinn series on DC Unlimited. While it does have it’s problematic issues (depictions of many villains being Jewish, for one), there was a lot in the series that I did like.

Happy New Year! Welcome 2020! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, 2019. I did not think I was going to like the Mandalorian. Given the fanboy worship of the character of Boba Fett over the past few decades, my hopes were not high for this show. Yes, I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #626 – Review – Mandalorian (first three or four episodes)
First off, Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Blessed Yule and Solstice! Happy Kwanzaa! Grand Festivus! Whatever you may celebrate this time of year.

There’s an F-bomb… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #624 – Review: Harley Quinn on DC Universe
So, Bitch magazine had an interview with Nina MacLaughlin where she talked about how it dawned on her one day that nearly every story in Ovid’s Metamorphoses is about rape or attempted rape.
