From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: In My Time of Dying"

"All I did was ask him - 'Who's on first?'"

So, last time, Sam and Dean and John had finally tracked down the Yellow-Eyed Demon who killed Mary. It claimed to have further plans for Sammy and the other psychic children like him. After Sam failed to follow through on John's order to shoot him in the heart, the three heavily wounded Winchester boys found themselves leaving in the Impala...and were promptly t-boned by a possessed trucker and his 18-wheeler, our final shot of the episode and Season 1 being John, Sam, and Dean unconscious and at the doorstep of death.

. . .y'know, when that was still something that still actually held some weight in Supernatural.

We pick up with Season 2's opener In My Time of Dying. Let's have a look...

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (1991)

Jesus Christ, what a depressing note to start Horror Month 2021 on! A poster for an incredibly terrible movie that has a tagline that's an outright stinking lie. Really, by 1991, what was anyone expecting out of this franchise? Well, New Line was apparently expecting money seeing as despite being a wonderful cure for insomnia, The Dream Child somehow managed to make enough money to be the highest grossing slasher film of 1989. Of course, with it's competition being such lauded films as Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (we'll be getting to that in a few years), C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud, and Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland.

. . .what's that? Why didn't I mention Halloween 5? Oh, that's simple: it doesn't suck.

Regardless, let's crack into "the best" that was saved "for last".

MadCap's Game Reviews - "Doki Doki Literature Club!"

Y'know, because my last attempt at playing a visual novel went so swimmingly...

No, I'm still not a fan of the visual novel genre. Hatoful Boyfriend didn't sell me on it, even if I found the game itself completely incomprehensible and bizarre. So, certainly, my opinion will change with a nice, wholesome dating sim that definitely doesn't have any-OH MY GAAAAAAAWD! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAAAAAACE?!

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "The Champions of Zobek, Chapter 3"

The flight to Rorak was by and large uneventful. Calen couldn't say he was complaining, it giving him more than a little time to relax and set his mind to the task ahead. Also, to try out those breathing techniques he and Niyasa had gleaned from the holocron. He wasn't some sort of stealth operative by any means and he was a bit afraid of blowing the entire thing, but he'd resolved to trust in his skills and the skills of his compatriots. 

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989)

What's that? Me? Covering a beloved film from yesteryear? Amazing things can happen when I actually bother to write things.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "The Champions of Zobek, Chapter 2"

"Needless to say, the raid was indeed an astounding success." Glin had been debriefing Calen for the past half hour over the minute details of the operation. "The Imperial shuttle Siren was captured with only minimal casualties onboard and we captured priority target Inspe-"

"With respect, sir," Calen raised a hand to interrupt the older human, "as much as I am happy to have been a part of the mission, what does this have to do with me?"

What If...Mace Windu survived his fight with Palpatine? (Part 13)

Well, it's sure been a hot minute, hasn't it? Last time, Kadann had murdered Cere Junda and had defeated Mace in a duel - even shattering his mechanical arm - before taking him prisoner. Will the crew of the Stinger Mantis be able to rescue him? Or will this be the end of our intrepid heroes at long last?

Let's find out!
