The Waffle Press Hangout 1) Hannibal with EmmightySofia


Last month, I announced Hannibal as my favorite show of 2014. I fully stand by that claim. I stand by that claim so much that I brought on the first guest for The Waffle Press Hangout EmmightySofia to discuss everything good about the show. We've come to the conclusion that Bryan Fuller is a genius. Check out the video below and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Arrow: The Canary Trilogy Review


Diego and Nick recap/review The Canary Trilogy of Arrow Season 3. For every five things the show gets right, it gets one or two things so, so wrong. It’s starting to become an issue so we talk about it.
 

7 Potential Sequels to John Wick


John Wick is a great action movie. It's ALMOST the best action film of 2014. The Raid 2, Edge of Tomorrow and Captain America: The Winter Soldier happened but it's almost there!

Well the creators of John Wick are working on plans for a sequel (please dear God make this happen). Here's what they had to say:

One Week Later: Arrow 3x11 'Midnight City' Review


Guess who needs to start posting these episode reviews earlier? This writer does. I haven't quite failed the city but I have failed these blog posts. Arrow continues a hot streak of episodes as Oliver Queen remains in hiding and Brick begins his takeover of The Glades.

Diego Watches: Daredevil Trailer is Dark & Gritty With Proper Context



I fucking hate the mass attempt at giving every pop culture hero a dark and gritty reboot. It's partly why I relish the Marvel Cinematic Universe so much. But I can't help but salsa this trailer, even when it's essentially the same tone that caused my issues with the Ant-Man and Fantastic Four trailers (though those also didn't tell us much about the stories they wanted to tell). The difference is that a character like Matt Murdock/Daredevil thrives in this world. His home, Hell's Kitchen, is was a notoriously terrible area to live in. Modern Hell's Kitchen is no longer riddled with crime and even got a name change (which I can't remember and can't be bothered to look up). The series will still take place in the same location so I wonder how they'll handle the switch. Now, time to gush about my favorite things in the trailer.

The Flash 1x12 Crazy for You Review


The Flash continues to be the most enjoyable outlet of superhero entertainment this side of the MCU. Barry and Team Flash go after a modern Bonnie and Clyde – if Bonnie was the equivalent of Nightcrawler from the X-Men. There's not much to say. It just fires on all cylinders. It's fun and exciting and pretty emotional. But I'll try to be moderately professional here and get into this super stuffed episode of The Flash.

Cowboy Bepop Episode 1: Asteroid Blues Review


I'm not the biggest anime fan. There are far too many series with an inherent fetishization of weird kinks that stops me from fully getting behind shows with some admittedly cool ideas. So when I tell you that Cowboy Bepop is on par with Firefly, The Godfather, Unforgiven, and Breaking Bad, I need you to know how crazy it is for me to say this. Granted, I haven't gone that far in the series yet. I only made it to My Funny Valentine before starting this breakdown/recap of each the series.
