MasterChugs Theater: ‘Super’

When I first heard about Super, by director James Gunn, I was quickly intrigued. A super-hero movie from James Gunn? Starring Rainn Wilson and Kevin Bacon? You had me at hello.

Unfortunately, there were some problems. Super quickly suffered the plague of a limited release. It was simultaneously released on OnDemand, but I don’t have that. That’s one I owe Super. Super was recently released on Blu-Ray and dvd. I bought it within the week of its release, but I’m only just now getting around to reviewing it. That’s two I owe Super.

There will be a third. Also a fourth, fifth, sixth and gazillionth. That’s because this movie is fantastic. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Super’

And you thought the 70s were hairy …

Gym rats: no matter how hard you work out, the world’s most dangerous exercise is long extinct. Having sex with Neanderthals and Denisovans made your ancestors stronger, so long as it didn’t kill them.

Symbolic victories are delicious

The animal kingdom can become surprisingly powerful out of nowhere at times. Some days, you’ll experience normal sized monsters, and other days, you’ll experience abnormally large sized monsters. Especially the ocean! It’s full of gigantic beasts that are just waiting to kill us. The only thing you can do in these situations is man up and bring your hunger with you.

How about if we raise the bar a notch, and see you take on some super sushi thanks to some heroes? The video takes us to a quaint sushi restaurant in Aichi prefecture that not only serves some amazing sushi, but some Godzilla size futo maki and nigiri sushi.

When you make it that big, it doesn’t lose some of its appeal. On the contrary, it gains massive appeal (see what I did there?)! Not only that, we take out some of their greatest warriors. Delicious and beneficial: What could be better?

The dead can be sneaky

When it comes to the undead, it’s not always easy to classify a monster until you actually see it. So, instead of making the call ourselves, we’re going to let you make the call in a little game we call “Zombie or vampire?”

Jimmie Lee Scott, a Montgomery, Alabama woman, died sometime last year. Her daughters are suing the funeral home that handled her final send-off because they seem to have misplaced the body. A year later, no one knows where it is.

Here’s what we do know:

  • A casket, purportedly containing Scott’s body, was buried in a cemetery.
  • The gravestone was put in a different part of the cemetery.
  • After digging up several different graves, there’s no sign of where it went.
  • Police have not tied Rick Snee to this (yet).

So we’ve got a missing body and a missing casket. Kinda says vampire, doesn’t it? But then again, we don’t really know for certain that Scott was in the casket when it was buried. The casket could have been lost independently, which leans a bit toward zombie, since they don’t need their coffins. Scott has not been sighted lurking the streets of Montgomery, Alabama, so we don’t really know what form of undead she is.

Your call, reader.
