American Gods S01E01 “The Bone Orchard” Review

American Gods premiered on Monday on Prime Video. Since Amazon bought the worldwide streaming rights, the episodes will be seen only a day after they’re originally shown in the US. I will be reviewing the show for you fine people over the next few weeks. If anything it gives me the perfect excuse to keep […]

The Franz Kafka Videogame Review – Shaggy Dog Existentialism

A videogame about Franz Kafka? Sounds strange, right? Well, not in terms of the surrealism and alienation, but I was wondering how stories like The Trial or The Metamorphosis would translate in a videogame. “ERRARE HUMANUM EST” The Franz Kafka Videogame answers that question, and it’s “Not really” with a but. The but is because […]

Five Dystopias That Aren’t In Books

As a reader, I’m quite into dystopias. Ever since that first time I read Brave New World I’ve been obsessed with them. I consider it, along with 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, part of an unholy trinity of sorts. If a book has dystopia in the title I will end up reading it at some point. […]

Release Dates for Star Wars: Episode IX, Indiana Jones 5 Announced

This week Disney announced the release dates of several of their films, and there’s a lot of interesting info there. For starters, we have a release date for Star Wars: Episode IX. May 24th 2019. And Indiana Jones 5 has been pushed back to July 10, 2020. Presumably because Steven Spielberg has like five different […]

New Title for Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 Accidentally Revealed?

Years ago Marvel announced two Avengers movies for Phase Three. Infinity War: Part 1 and Infinity War: Part 2. But last year, that changed. The first film is now Infinity War but the second one became Untitled Avengers Film. Marvel and the Russo Brothers don’t want to reveal the title and according to Kevin Feige, the […]

Scalped – Comics 101

For this edition of Comics 101 I’m going to talk about one of my favourite comic books: Scalped. It feels like the most appropriate moment, since it’s about to become a TV series for WGN. When I read the first two trade paperbacks about six years ago, a friend told me “This is the best […]

Hulu Greenlights Locke & Key Pilot

Last year Joe Hill said he had plans for writing a Locke & Key pilot, adapting the comic book he co-created with artist Gabriel Rodriguez. He wanted to shop the project at different streaming platforms and TV channels for a potential TV show. A Locke & Key TV series is closer than ever, because Hulu […]

The X-Files Will Return For Season 11

A year ago The X-Files came back from the death. That return was slightly disappointing, it had one of the best episodes of the whole series, and also one of the worst. The worst part was how short it was. Six episodes wasn’t enough, but I can imagine that scheduling David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson […]

Paradigm Review – Point And Laugh

Greetings! As the official “Graphic Adventure Guy” for The Arcade (sure, it´s self-appointed but is it wrong???) I bring you another offering. Have you ever wanted to play a game where you have to defuse plans of an evil sloth who vomits candy bars every 30 seconds? Then Paradigm is the game for you! “Time […]

First Look at Jon Bernthal in Punisher set

Jon Bernthal has been busy shooting The Punisher for Netflix over the past few months. Every now and then photos on set have surfaced, but they seemed to picture Frank Castle incognito. He had a beard and he looked like he was working construction. None of them in his punishing outfit. But this week some […]
