Ken’s Recent Purchases…Please Vote

Why don't you all vote and I'll try (if I still can after all these years) to review whatever the highest vote getter is from the list below. Let's say I'll have the piece up by the end of January, just to give myself some sort of deadline. DVDs I mostly bought DVDS because…

Ken is happy (Warning: Anime content)….

  Although not among the very best isekai (transported to another world) animes, Overlord is right up at the top of the second tier, I think. And if not the best one, it's nonetheless my favorite. Many younger anime fans love it but heavily criticize the sometimes jenky CGI. Although I am known as…

The Fall of the House of Petersen….

Sandy for whatever reason (pity? barely suppressed scorn? a mania for self-destruction) interviewed me when last I was in Texas. He has now followed through with his mad scheme to post the results on his YouTube channel, Sandy of Cthulhu. For the remainder of who you not yet met me in the all too…

Monster of the Day #3314

If there's one thing the world's been crying for (#2 would be a complete cure for Covid), it would be a good release of Yeti Giant of the 20th Century. Past releases looked like they were taken from VHS rips. Now with a reasonable amount of digital clarity, we can finally accurately and fairly…

So I've gone crazy with the DVD and Blu Ray buying this year (and clothes and other items from Creepy Co.; some unfortunates have seen my gaudy Halloween PJs when I was down in Texas). Black Friday saw another ton of buying, so I have HUNDREDS of extras-laden Blu Rays to start watching. So...I…

Monster of the Day #3312

So after all my dithering I finally picked a (completely obvious) movie and we finally got another Amazon Watch Party up and running last Friday night. Thanks to The Rev for hosting, since it turned out that a comically large number of us, including myself, were having computer issues. Thanks also to the several…

Revised: We have a host now, thanks to everyone who volunteered

Hello! The fellow that has kindly hosted the parties so far has other plans tonight. I asked another person and he was (of course) having computer issues right now. Hosting is super easy, even I could do it no sweat. However, my computer is suuuuuper old and cranky. When we started this I just…

Monster of the Day #3311

Would Son of Godzilla be rated 'R' now for smoking? Meanwhile, the fanbase remains divided on Minya, but no one can argue that Godzilla isn't a surprisingly great dad. This is still one of my favorite Godzilla movies. This and Godzilla vs the Sea Monsters were the first ones I saw, admittedly. Watch party…

Watch Party Decision….

OK, I finally had to make up my mind, and will do what I should have done to start with. Let's just show something completely obvious and have a good time with it. I like bad dramas, and so do several of us, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'm not saying I…
