TV on DVD Review: Boy Meets World: The Complete Sixth Season
Lionsgate is making me so happy! Boy Meets World ended in May 2000 and they’ve taken their sweet time getting around to releasing the seven great seasons on DVD. Season 6 doesn’t disappoint!
The Season
DVD Review: Doctor Who “Frontios” and “Time and the Rani”
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
After my adventures reviewing two sets of classic Doctor Who episodes from the Jon Pertwee years, I hopped in my TARDIS and jumped forward to the mysterious 1980’s to look at an another two recently released Who story arcs: “Frontios” from 1984, starring Peter Davison, and “Time and the Rani” from 1987, with Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor, which are now available to own on DVD!
DVD Review: Challenge of the Gobots: The Original Miniseries
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
If you were a child in the 1980’s, and have participated in Geek culture at any time since, it is possible that you have encountered a very silly debate between fans of the popular Transforming-Robot series, Transformers, and the not-quite-so-popular, Transforming-Robot series, Gobots. It is a fairly useless debate, as Gobots fans generally stress that Gobots came first, while Transformers fans counter with the fact that Transformers wasn’t a pile of crap. But who is correct? Now we can find out, with the release of the miniseries that started it all: Challenge of the Gobots: The Original Miniseries now on DVD!
DVD Review: Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D.
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
Never judge a DVD by its cover. That is probably the primary lesson that I learned from Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. You see, I assumed that the DVD for Spider-Woman contained an animated movie that did something interesting with Spider-Woman, who doesn’t seem to be all that popular among fans. I’d seen her featured in interesting roles in the Avengers comics a while back, but never really sympathized with her character, so I just assumed that this movie would be a good chance to get to know the character in her post-Invasion incarnation.
But this isn’t a movie, it is a motion comic, and it would be unfair to judge this motion comic by movie standards, right? So, let’s start over.
DVD Review: Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (Season Two)
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Every mission has a destiny… and apparently this mission’s destiny was to end long before its time was up. Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (aka Season Two) was both a blessing and a curse for sci-fi fans, as the season really ramped up the epic journey of Col. Young, Lt. Scott, Eli, Chloe and Dr. Rush, seeing them delve into deeper and darker territory than any Stargate series ever had. This darker setting made it one of the most captivating and interesting series that the franchise ever produced, breathing new life into previously generic sci-fi situations.
DVD Review: Doctor Who: Terror of the Autons and Doctor Who: The Planet of the Spiders
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
Now two more classic Doctor Who stories, Terror of the Autons and The Planet of the Spiders (featuring Jon Pertwee) are now available for you to own on DVD!
Back in 2009, I was scandalized by the idea that any actor could possibly replace David Tennant as The Doctor in BBC’s excellent science fiction series Doctor Who. I couldn’t imagine anyone taking his place, and was sure that the series would no longer be the brilliant show I knew and loved.
DVD Review: Burn Notice – Season Four
DVD Review: Rocko’s Modern Life – Season One
by Ashley Penrod, Assistant Media Editor
For almost every 90’s kid, NickToons were a staple in after-school and weekend TV. Shows like Aaaah! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, The Angry Beavers, and Ren and Stimpy were a huge part of middle school entertainment, and Rocko‘s Modern Life is certainly no exception. As a matter of fact, Rocko‘s Modern Life was one of the more mature and amusing of the diverse NickToons lineup, and now it is available for you to own!

DVD Review: After Dark Original’s Fertile Ground
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
You know what’s worse than going on a vacation in a foreign locale, meeting new people, and meeting an untimely, and usually painful and messy, demise? Why, it’s moving into a house with a bad reputation, especially if it’s an ancestral home. And if you’re moving in because of financial problems, to win a bet or you need to make a fresh start, and it just happens to come available at a most opportune time.
And in Fertile Ground, Emily (Leisha Hailey – The L Word) and Nate (Gale Harold – Hellcats) do just that. The film starts out with a pregnant Emily having a miscarriage, and in her depression gives up her lucrative clothing design business.
DVD Review: After Dark Originals Seconds Apart
Double your pleasure, double your fun?
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
“Can you feel it?”
“No.”
“But all the elements are there.”
“Then why can’t we feel it?”
“The project takes time.”
“But everyone else feels it.”
“I feel it.”
“Liar.”
“Seriously.”
“There, the way he tilts his head.”
“No. It’s in his eyes.”
“Well, maybe next time.”
If this exchange sounds creepy, imagine it with twins talking.
