Move Over Star-Lord, Andrew’s Awesome Mix Tape Takes Center Stage #GoTGVol2

Music was always a big part of my childhood. Back in the Stone Ages, we played things called “audio cassettes” that we’d put in “tape players” to hear our songs. I know, I know. That sounds crazy. Even crazier? We couldn’t instantly play any song we wanted. We’d have to actually rewind or fast forward the tape to get to a specific song. Yes there’s definitely an advantage to the instant song access we have …

Make Your Own Baby Groot Cupcakes and Celebrate Guardians of the Galaxy

by Andrew Kardon

Marvel Studios can say so very much with so few words. Why, just three little words in fact can move even the stiffest of hearts.

The Disney 2017 Lineup Includes Beasts, Guardians and Plenty of Galactic Wars

by Andrew Kardon

In my mind, there’s just no way Marvel Studios can top last year’s Captain America: Civil War. It was the ultimate superhero movie. And Rogue One was a masterpiece of Star Wars storytelling. Not to mention the gorgeous story of Moana. Yep, the Disney 2017 movie lineup sure has its work cut out for it. Then again, now that I look at the full slate of Disney films for 2017, I’m certainly ready to start …

Luke Cage’s Power Man Packs a Mean Punch

by Andrew Kardon

Seriously, when will the Marvel Cinematic Universe get off track? Every movie has been fantastic. I love Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And the Marvel deal with Netflix has more than proven itself. Two insanely awesome seasons of Daredevil and a (no pun intended) killer season of Jessica Jones. And now, Marvel and Netflix have unleashed Luke Cage. I’ll admit I never read too many Power Man and Iron Fist comics as a kid (They were …
