This started out as a test of my new equipment to see if the sound quality improved (it did). Unfortunately, you should not get two guys with extensive video store clerking experience chatting about random movies. We talked for about 50 minutes! We learn that Erik pronounces “bio-pic” without the hyphen. I tend to be …

A Belated Christmas to all!
I’m glad to hear about the changes to the site. To mark the occasion, (and of course to test it out) here’s a holiday video I made…

Phantom Menace epic review (or epic fail?)
This one is especially filled with obscenities, so please be doubly-warned before pressing play. But really…if you like funny reviews, you need to see this! It’s hilarious, and yet it makes some hard points…such as: WHO was the main character of the Phantom Menace?

RedLetterMedia’s ST: Nemesis review (hilarious!)
I know I didn’t like Star Trek: Nemesis, but this really helps bring to light that I only thought of half the reasons it sucked.

RedLetterMedia’s Generations Review
I haven’t posted in a while. To make up for it, here are a ton of reviews on YouTube that I found. These are hilarious and insightful, culminating in a wonderful takedown of Phantom Menace. PLEASE NOTE: A lot of these have language that is NSFW. Let’s start with his review of Star Trek: Generations:

Let’s test out the new WordPress: Yeah! It works! All I did was paste in the URL for the video on a new line.

the Darker Seid of Life
By all means we at Monitor Duty should have written dozens of histories and recaps and essays about DC Comics’ vile Kirby demon, the evil New God Darkseid. By now there should be hundreds of references and odes of love. If kicked we might see it happen in the future, but I do not care …

A Mystery Solved!
One of the distinct pleasures of comics geekdom is finding a story, long since forgotten, that sheds light on some trivial mystery. I grappled with such a mystery over three years ago when I asked if anyone knew if Tubby Tompkins’s first name was, indeed, Tubby, or if it was just some sort of nickname. …

Sgt. Rock movie? Yeah, right.
Oh look, Akiva Goldsman is a producer. And it’s moved from World War II to the future. Next thing you know, he won’t be American…because that would be “jingoistic”. Relax. This will not get made. Look, they missed their chance to do it right by casting Bruce Willis in the 1980s. Stallone and Schwarzenegger? Nope, …

Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special
I’ve always meant to see this. As we enter the holiday season, it’s time to relax with the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special. NSFW, contains language, etc. … though it’s nowhere near as explicit as the real comic.

Monitor Duty is alive and well
Sorry to disappear, everyone. We got a new puppy in October, so we’ve been crazily preoccupied with training and classes, and sometimes days would go by where I’d not even turn on my computer! The new puppy is named Chewbacca, by the way. Chewie for short, which is appropriate. In addition to that, my wife …
