Drilla Moloney: “Ha! Tsuji’s like, ‘What’s this guy roped me into? I spent almost ten minutes slapping the motherfucker in the tits. Heh heh. May as well make it 15.’” This has been a helluva year for pro wrestling. #NJPW

First watched Highlander on Channel 44. For a thirteen-year-old boy, even without the ultraviolence, the Queen soundtrack alone had me hooked, thanks to growing up on Flash Gordon on VHS.

Masters of the Universe, hey, you took a big swing. Makes for an exciting game.

Looking back at my media consumption this year... a shit ton of wrestling. This card didn’t rate too high for me. A two-match show, but those two matches. Fletcher and Bandido put on an absolute match-of-the-year showstopper.

They talk about how you can feel passion in the white space of a script, the writer’s enthusiasm all blasted down there. That’s The Fall Guy. And goddamn, is it always a hoot. 🙏

Fantasy-booking the #NJPW G1 while reading the tea leaves. I want Tsuji to lose in the final to create a new contender. My choice would be a younger-generation wrestler elevated to the marquee. With Shota’s injury, that leaves Oiwa. Maybe he conquers ZSJ in the semis?

Oh, man. When it came out, I was so under the thrall of Lee and Portacio so it was always at the bottom of my pile.

Superhero workplace comedies are my jam.

My buddy’s review: “I’m not my dad, I’m my own man!” says the fucking space slug.

A book made for the Mortal Kombat generation.

Semifinals! SHANE BLACK’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a self-aware buddy-action flick I wrote as a gift to myself, while also being an absolute prick. “You want voice? I’ll give you fucking voice…” #scriptsky

I thought I’d choke on the One Wish Willow conceit, but Obsession leans into it hard. Blumhouse is gonna ideate entire universes out of one Wham-O shelf.

Puroresu should be in Japanese, and football should be in Spanish. (Nobody’s signing up for a “trial” for another damn service.)

Superior Foes is Justice League Antarctica, and I mean that as the highest of compliments. Schlubs are my wheelhouse and what I love to write.

I’m more invested in this G1 Climax than I’ve been in years. Goto, Shingo, and ZSJ are laying the groundwork for the future of #NJPW.

Banger after banger after banger... on the B-show.

I adored this mini as a kid because I think every generation wants their own X-Men, even if it’s written by 40-somethings. (That and Chris Bachalo.)

Filling in a comics blind spot with the Shira Brie run. Between this and New Teen Titans, what was going on in the early ’80s with romantic interests turning out to be duplicitous turncoats?

SHANE BLACK’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a PAGE Quarterfinalist! Lots of familiar names on the list. But the undisputed #1 thumbstopper title? TIME HUMPERS. #scriptsky

Heaven forbid anything awful happens to this lonely bookish woman. God, I love this spooky-ass show.
