Bachman’s Best – Wet and Reckless

The best thing I saw last week was Wet and Reckless.  Brought to us by Writer, Director, and Star Jason Trost, know in many circles as simply JTRO. Thanks to the awesomeness that is Matt Cohen’s Bagged and Boarded podcast I learned of the phenom that is JTRO and have seen most of his catalog…

Bachman’s Best – Arrow

The best thing I saw last week was Arrow. More specifically the mid-season finale of season 2 of Arrow on the CW, it was episode #9: “Three Ghosts”. A whole lotta story comes into play and plays out during this episode. This whole season has felt like it was building to this point each and…

Bachman’s Best – Almost Human

The best thing I saw last week was Almost Human the new show that premiered last night on FOX. It’s a sci-fi procedural with all the good parts of Robocop without the crazy and a touch of the new DREDD without all the depressing scorched earth downside. Taking a small step into the future Almost…

Bachman’s Best – Thor: The Dark World

The best thing I saw last week was not surprisingly Thor: The Dark World. Marvel brings us back to the world of the tall blonds and battling gods. This is one more step along the path of Marvel and their movie properties continually kicking the crap out of the distinguished competition over at DC.  And…

Bachman’s Best – Pretty Deadly

The best thing I read last week was Pretty Deadly #1 by Image comics. Very simply as good a first issue as American Vampire if not better. This first issue of Pretty Deadly presents you with an introduction to a world like dipping a toe in a pond. It entices. It creates ripples, and then…

Bachman’s Best – 10 Minute Podcast

Bachman’s Best – Dads

The best thing I saw last week was Dads the new Fox show starring Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green, from the creators of Ted and Family Guy, namely Seth MacFarlane.

Bachman’s Best – Firefly

  The best thing I saw last week was the complete run of Firefly. I again watched all 14 episodes over the week on Netflix streaming. I’ve done this 4 or 5 times since it became available on the Netflix instant queue, and this week I’ll probably watch the film Serenity again as for me…

Bachman’s Best – X-Factor #262

The best thing I read last week left me happy and also heartbroken. With a 6 issue story arc properly titled The End of X-Factor, Mr. Peter David brings his decade long run to a close, and I still have to say it’s too soon.  Luckily for us Peter David did have an end in…

Bachman’s Best – East of West

The best thing I read last week was the new issue of East of West by the superb team of Jonathan Hickman, Nick Dragotta, Frank Martin, and Rus Wooton.  I just finished reading issue #5 and I’m not ashamed to say that after issue #4 I really still had almost no idea of what the…
