Iron First, well I saw the first 5 minutes and pulled the plug

It's astonishingly bad. Remember in the 90's and early 2000's when they would hand a director a superhero property without having any knowledge about it i.e. Catwoman and Daredevil? It's that bad. 

I would prefer an asian actor to play Iron Fist, Keno and Rufio were some of my favorites growing up, but that in it of itself doesn't damn the show. What does, is how terrible Finn Jones is.


I can't shake off how he looks like a spritely James Holmes. The fight scenes are so rapidly cut that you can tell he has ZERO martial arts training. 

The effects are awful and the show plays like a 90's sitcom instead of Marvel's other darker entries on Netflix. I hope they recast Iron Fist for the Defenders otherwise Daredevil is going to kill him.

Lucha Underground

The first two seasons have been added to Netflix.  If you've not seen it, it's more of a television show which features wrestling as a plot point instead of a straight up wrestling show.  A lot of stuff is based on the Aztecs, so there is a whole mythological and supernatural side to the series.  It's a pretty fun show.  The series was created by Mark Burnett, and it feels like a really good mix of scripted tv and reality tv.

Samurai Jack Season 5 Episode 2

With the Y14 rating they're really pushing the envelope with Jack. I'm starting to like it, although I think it was necessary given the story line. Things had to be violent.

I just got done watching the entire season of Power Rangers Time Force on Netflix. Given the recent quality issues with the last few seasons since Saban bought the series back, I have to say that this is probably the last great Saban produced Power Rangers season.

It was nice watching it again. I loved the show when it was first airing, and it was arguably the last Power Rangers series I was really into as a kid. Yeah, there was SPD later on and I actually got into that as well, but I was much older at the time and it was just different. From Wild Force on wards Power Rangers just felt different to me. It was nice reliving Time Force, a must watch for fans of the show or anyone who just wants a good series to watch, for both kids and adults.

The only letdown was the final battle had kind of an anti-climatic finish, but I'll give it points for being different and plus they gave Time Force a truly great ending in the Wild Force team up episode. And for any Retro Daze member who still feels unconvinced to watch this show, the lead villain Ransik was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger's sworn enemy Bennett from Commando.

Started watching an awesome series called Space Adventure Cobra today. Yes, it's an anime, and yes, it's in Japanese, but if you can get past those two things it becomes a very enjoyable show. Action, adventure, humor, you name it, it's all there, and it's all set in the retro future-the best kind of future.

Somebody even uploaded episodes to YouTube. I highly recommend you guys give this show a try.

The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.
