What Were Looking Forward To This January: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, Rain Like Hammers, Psycho Goreman, Evangelion 3.0+1.0, Cyber Shadow & Resident Alien
New year, means new media to consume. Nom, nom, nom...burp! Here's what's on our radar this month.
Jan 14
$14.99
From the great work started by Paul Robertson, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition comes out again on all the major consoles. Beat up bad guys who are trying to stop you from being in love with your lady and defeat all her evil exes.
We loved playing this game when it came out a decade ago and now years later hope to again. And you can play online and locally with four people altogether, so you and up to three friends. Don't forget you get all the DLC that came out for the game and that kick-ass soundtrack from Anamanaguchi.
Jan 20
From one of our favorite independent comic artists, Brandon Graham, comes a brand new 5-part series about a lonely dude in a walking city on another planet. Things go awry for this day dreamer whose into finding the best fast food when other walking cities start getting destroyed.
From Graham's past work like King City, Prophet & Multiple Warheads, we can't wait to see what he comes up with and all the little drawings hidden on every page.
Jan 22
*VOD
A hit at Beyond Fest, last year and from the co-director of The Void, Steven Kostanski, comes PG aka Psycho Goreman. A balls to the wall sci-fi, horror action adventure about a little girl who gets an alien monster as a pet. All kinds of crazy seems to ooze out of the trailer as this looks like it'll be an instant cult classic.
Goreman isn't the only monster as it looks like there's a convention from all the bad guys the Power Rangers ever beat-up, cept' they went to Hot Topic and Hell and came back to fight.
Jan 23
*Japan
It may takes us years, but hopefully
months as we're unsure who owns the rights to the film for the North
American release, because it could be owned by both by both Disney &
Sony (not joking), but the last Evangelion movie comes out in Japan this month. We've been waiting for this one for oh, since 2015, when it
was suppose to come out!
Not
getting into how bad the title is to the English audience; it looks like
it will have some of the best animation ever and director Anno continue to mind f us
without ever telling us what is really going on. Oh, Japan!
Jan 26
$14.99
From Yacht Club Games, comes a game that isn't DLC for Shovel Knight, Cyber Shadow! A new old-school ninja action-adventure platformer in 8-bit style. It looks jam-packed with extras and creativity. We see ourselves playing in on Switch or Steam when we just want to game for a bit like a session of Hades. Filled with secrets, moves to master and what looks like killer boss fights, for 8-bit it might kick every modern games butt.
Jan 27
SYFY Channel
Oh, Alan Tudyk, why did you leave Doom Patrol? I know it was for this show, but couldn't you have done both? SYFY comes back with a show based on comics about an alien hiding in plain sight in the guise of a local town doctor played by the before-mentioned actor. Get ready for dark humor and what looks like to be murder mysteries as an alien gets use to life on Earth. A fun premise we've seen over and over again, but this time a bit more scary and violent.
Keep it up SyFy!
Well, that's all for January. We're already excited for Kid Cosmic from Crag McCracken coming to Netflix next month!

Super Mario Manga Mania Review: Covered In Tears & Snot
Snot and tears flow so much off Mario-Kun and his friends in this book I think it be better if Viz re-did the cover and re-titled it Mario-Kun: Snot & Tears. The simple happy go-lucky cover on Super Mario Manga Mania does not inform the reader of the cartoony, silly and gross-out humor it contains. It should be a snot flowing and teary-eyed Mario and his friends selling the book. Not this very average looking cover.
If you've ever read a boy's manga, this is it, with constant stupid jokes and antics on par with Bugs Bunny, but grosser, much, much grosser.
Though I'm amazed at how many different games Yukio has covered over the years-25+ in all it says in inside- and put into this one book, it's just not for me. You'll see Mario fight bad guys from the games and it probably pulls from the games even more than the cartoons ever did back in the early 90's.
And it's for little kids, though there's even a warning at the end for a sad parent passing story that the book tells you feels out of place, but since the creator wanted it in his original compilation, they left it in.
I still recommend it for kids who want a gag book and know of Mario playing his games in any fashion. It jumps around as it's a mix of stories through-out Mario's career.
$9.99
*I could totally see the art on shirts, stickers and other collectibles. Maybe even, a fun wrapping paper or even a hand picked silliest images art book.

ASSASSINS: A Live Screening and Filmmaker Q&A
Tuesday, January 12th, 6pm
Free
In 2017, Kim Jong-nam—the half-brother of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un—was assassinated in the bustling departures hall of Malaysia’s international airport. The spectacularly brazen murder happened in broad daylight, filmed entirely by security cameras. Footage showed two young women approaching Jong-nam from behind, covering his eyes with their hands, and pressing VX—the most lethal nerve gas on earth—into his eyes. He stumbled away and was dead within an hour. But if the murder was extreme, the story that came next was even more bizarre: The two women who killed Jong-nam claimed they had simply been hired to pull a video prank and had no idea what they were really doing. The Malaysian government scoffed, arrested and imprisoned the women and put them on trial for murder, facing execution. But was their outlandish story actually the truth? And would anyone believe them? Assassins, the latest from director Ryan White, travels from the sanctums of Pyongyang to the rice fields of Indonesia and Vietnam to the courtrooms of Kuala Lumpur to tell an extraordinary tale of manipulation and subterfuge in the age of social media.

SEEING AND FEELING JAPANESE HORROR: SCOPOPHILIA AND CLAUSTROPHILIA IN EDOGAWA RAMPO
Instructor: Seth Jacobowitz
Edogawa Rampo burst onto the literary scene in 1920s Japan with a rapid
succession of short stories and novels that helped to articulate the
cultural logic of “erotic, grotesque, nonsense” in the interwar period.
He earned instant notoriety for his startling explorations of Japanese
modernity: the lure of illicit or prohibited desires; a fascination with
cinema and visual spectacles; the psychology of leisure, and
thrill-seeking; and a seemingly inexhaustible wanderlust for the
imperial metropolis Tokyo. This presentation will discuss scopophilia
and claustrophilia as two predominant horror themes in Rampo’s fiction
writing and their adaptation in the Japanese film and art worlds. We
will explore his “Stalker in the Attic” (1926) and the film The Watcher in the Attic (1976) directed by Noboru Tanaka, the omnibus film Rampo Noir (2005), and Suehiro Maruo’s graphic novel The Strange Tale of Panorama Island (2010), among other works.
