Transmissions from Wizard World Comic Con

On March 29th, my wife, my younger brother and I hopped in my car and headed up to Louisville to attend Wizard World, our first ever comic convention.  We had no idea what to expect, but we knew James Marsters and Kristine Sutherland (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) would be there, and that was enough for […]

TWD, S4E16, “A”, by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Anchor Brewing’s Liberty Ale.  I love this beer.  Great flavor, with a little hop bite at the end.  It could almost be seen as a gateway IPA: a lot of the characteristics of an IPA, but not quite as in-your-face as most craft IPAs tend to be.  Dark enough for winter drinking, […]

TWD S4E15, “Us” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine.  Alltech has been playing around with their bourbon barrel ale for a couple years now.  These small batches normally sell out pretty quickly, so you have to get your hands on them when you can.  This one has the sweetness of the standard bourbon barrel ale, with […]

TWD S4E14, “The Grove” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Southern Tier Porter.  I thought the days of ice and snow were behind us for the year.  I was mistaken.  Luckily, I had a few of these in the house.  A dark, textured flavor, perfect for the winter. Seven things that annoyed me: 1. The forced parallels Carol draws between Mika and […]

Trailer Talk – Oculus

Today we’ll be looking at Oculus. Release date: April 11, 2014 Directed by: Mike Flanagan (Absentia) Notable actors: Karen “Amy Pond” Gillian, Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff It’s nearly impossible for me to see a trailer involving a mirror and not think about Mirrors or Mirrors 2 (the former being a strange Kiefer Sutherland/Paula Patton vehicle, the […]

Why I Don’t Watch Bates Motel

With Bates Motel starting back up, Chassity and I thought it would be fun to each write a post about the show.  One in favor of the show, one against it. As anyone who reads my Walking Dead posts could probably guess, I am against it. Let’s get a couple things out of the way […]

TWD S4E13, “Alone” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Country Boy’s Cougar Bait.  A local brewery.  This is their blonde ale.  It has a light taste to it that lends itself well to warm days.  We’re finally getting some of those, so this seemed like the time to start drinking this again. Five things that annoyed me: 1.  After all this […]

TWD S4E12, “Still” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Atwater’s Vanilla Java Porter.  I know I just did this one a couple weeks ago, but I couldn’t help it.  I found a six-pack of this at a local grocery store.  Combine that with the fact that we’re currently getting hit with yet another ice storm, and this beer sounded absolutely perfect […]

Trailer Talk – Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead

Welcome back to another installment of the wildly popular Trailer Talk (note: this is not wildly popular).  Today we’ll be looking at Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead. This movie appears to pick up immediately after the first movie.  The lone survivor (Martin) is in a hospital, having somehow escaped the clutches of Herzog, Zombie King […]

The Walking Dead, S4E11, “Claimed” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Trader Joe’s 2013 Vintage Ale.  Trader Joe’s does one of these every year.  Dark, with lots of bold spices.  Great for winter drinking.  Since it snowed again today, I figured now was as good a time as any to drink my last bottle.  It comes in at 9% ABV, so it packs […]
