M's Media Menagerie

Thoughtful Dumping Grounds

Trope: ACAB

All Cops Are Bastards. The media in question criticizes the lawkeeping establishment in place and points out hypocrisy and corruption. Occasionally tempered with one or two people who believed in the Law and are trying to undo corruption.

They All Died Screaming

⭐⭐⭐

It’s called The Scream… Once you get it, you simply cannot stop screaming. You can’t eat or sleep. It drives you more and more insane until you can’t stand to be alive a second longer. When the phenomenon hits Chuck’s city, the chronically unemployed pervert joins a band of misfits to make his final stand.

Letterkenny

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comedy

As a whole, or for the rest of the seasons, whichever. Letterkenny was something we started watching with our buds— I’ve seen a bit of it before, yeah, and our buds reminded me it existed so I says, hell yeah. We’re gonna watch it. Pull it up. Now we just finished all twelve seasons and

The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting #1-4

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tooru Kirishima is 28 years old and the wakagashira of the Sakuragi Group. He’s known as “The Demon of the Sakuragi Group” because he uses his position as a yakuza as an excuse to do whatever he wants. But one day, he ends up in charge of his boss’s daughter?! An independent young lady and

The Unsinkable Ship of Fools

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fuck Capitalism and then Fuck Each Other The author lives that pure anarchist punk life and fuck, dude, I honestly think that they got it right. All those pretty ideals that psuedo punks, wishful punks, talk about. Those little touches that bring it in and make it vibe. This is full-on an anarchist sex train

Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This one took me a long time to read. Not because it was bad, but because sometimes reading one story was like being hit by a bus, and then I needed a long break before I went back to it. Horror is a reflection of the writer’s struggles, a very open dialogue about the problems

New World: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Aaah… what a stupendous collection, with so many big names in comics! My favorite in this anthology ended up being Written in Stone, by Carla Speed McNeil. I ended up reading it three times back to back, and then once more before I put down the book. (I reread it when I opened the book

Clockwork Planet 1 – 3

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Harem Scale H: MC will do anything for his clockwork, including the right thing. A: By volume three, he’s aware that he wants to collect more robot girls. R: He’s got a thing going with Ryuzu. E: It’s pretty middling on the fan service, and keeps it to double entendre and phrasing. M: I’m down

The Twisted Ones

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sometimes you just gotta burn that shit down.

The Acolyte

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Action, SciFi, Space Opera

How about a Canceled Show where the horny only intensifies every time you see Manny Jacinto’s arms.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.

What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
