Four days in July that celebrate everything to do with popular culture.

Here’s the first day of my breakdown of the panels I would waltz into at the drop of a hat.

In which the Peanuts strips come to life with a collection of sports-themed shorts.

“I’m going to kill you. In fact, you’re already dead” – Rick, spoiling the Season Eight finale.

The Master of Suspense returns to the big screen with one of his best cliff hangers ever.

“Aside from the season opener, this was the best episode this season.” – Kim

“Wouldn’t watch that episode again. Not even if you paid me.” – Kim

“Dumbing down the show just makes it dumb.” – Shawn

“I don’t have any more points to make, because I’m very underwhelmed by this show these days.” – Kim

“My wonder from week to week now is are we going to see anything we care about?” – Kim

“I feel like I have a bigger picture of where this is all going now and there’s a certain satisfaction of watching the pieces fall into place like an old familiar movie.” – Shawn

“Overall, I think this episode was much better than the first half of the season as a whole.” – Kim

Thirty-two new shorts bring the classic comic strip to life for a new generation.

How many shows do their top-11 lists share?

The re-release of the Miyazaki classic just breathes on the big screen.

“Jesus and Daryl were on the screen at the same time…was, quite possibly, the best 15 seconds in The Walking Dead’s history.” – Kim

“‘It’s going to be hard to watch.’ – Negan warning us a little too late into the episode.” – Shawn

“They called it ‘Swear’ because I swear it contained 13 minutes of actual storytelling.” – Shawn

“The continued loss of interest is correlated to the lack of zombies for me.” – Shawn

“I found myself wishing that Negan would just start killing people so we could move on from this.” – Kim

“I just hope there’s a point to all of this that I’m just not seeing yet.” – Shawn

“I hope we get some resolutions or this is going to be painful.” – Kim

“In the words of Abraham, ‘Suck my nuts,’ writers/producers. We deserved better.” – Kim

A rarely seen Peanuts special deserves your attention as it turns 50.

At its best, TV tells unique stories that don’t fit into the limited motion picture format of 90-200 minute limitations.

Shows like Breaking Bad and The Wire owe much to how Dekalog lets stories play out.

2016 takes another one of my heroes.

A chaotic classic worth seeing again.

“I love this show in a way that other comic adaptations have fallen short.” – Shawn

“This is still the best show currently airing.” – Kim

“Food court! Food court!”

Just so you know, vanilla extract is flammable.

Bit characters get their story about their roles in one of the biggest stories ever.

“Everything feels headed in the right direction.” – Shawn

“I’m worried that I won’t get everything I need answered by the end of the season.” – Kim

“It all comes together so seamlessly, to offer one surprise after another, keeping this show fresh and interesting.” – Kim

“It all felt different this week and I can’t put my finger on the problem.” – Shawn

Stay gold, Preacher. You are off to a great start.

“An amalgam of all of the crap rolled in to one last hurrah before getting a break.” – Kim

An above average start to what looks like a fun series with people blowing up.

“I didn’t get enough Nick to make me happy and I can’t bring myself to even say it was a mediocre episode.” – Shawn

“Can we have more Patsy Cline tunes in future episodes?” – Kim

Blood in the streets, Strand in the sheets.

“I may have experienced some nervous energy during last night’s episode. It lasted all of 30 seconds.” – Kim

Does “All Fall Down” refer to all the sense in this show currently?

T&A are on the job trying to make sense of this season of FTWD.

“Sure am glad that’s not how I spent my last day on Earth.” – Kim

“What would an episode this season be if one of our team didn’t get captured?” – Shawn

Two Vincent Price classics come to Blu-ray with mixed results.
