Captain Conroy's Pixar 40th Anniversary Marathon (Week 9)
Written by Captain Conroy Week 1 , Week 2 , Week 3 , Week 4 , Week 5 , Week 6 , Week 7 and Week 8 here. This movie by far has to be the most Pixar in terms of its concept.

And does this movie manage it? Oh yes, definitely. My joy is naturally going to be leading this review as I have a very

Media Essays: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Special Post (Part 2)
Continued from Part 1. Favourite Pokémon Battle: Ash vs. Paul (Sinnoh League) Sorry to be so obvious. XD But seriously, what else was I going to pick for my favourite Pokémon battle of all time? OK, some other battles out there like Ash vs. Leon, Ash vs. Paul (Lake Acuity) and Ash vs. Sawyer were worthy contenders, but this one was the only one I feel that was ever going to take the top spot. Ash vs. Paul at the Sinnoh League is pretty much everybody's favourite battle in the

Crossovers are those kinds of things that have limitless potential. Just look at ANY fanfiction or fan art and you'll find all kinds of wacky ideas for crossovers.

This essay is about one such crossover idea today, and that's "What if characters from Sonic the Hedgehog played Duel Monsters?" Yu-Gi-Oh! is the kind of pre

Media Essays: The Career of Díotóir
Now this one's a machine I know everybody's going to be happy to see me talk about. There are many recognizable machines in Robot Wars , and they're all easily identifiable for a variety of reasons. Some have a unique design, some have a cool colour scheme, some have a cool looking weapon, some have unique design traits that you won't find anywhere else. This machine is easily the best example of that last part. No other machine sports a look as iconic and as easily recogniza

2025: Year in Review
Whew, we're about to end another year already? Man time really is just an illusion these days... So 2025. What a year am I right? And when I say that, I don't necessarily mean it in a good way. While 2025 wasn't as bad as 2024, it still had a lot of bad things about it, especially considering certain people in power that I won't mention here. I want to keep things fun as we finish off 2025, so no need to delve into that stuff. This blog is about media, so let's talk about it.
