Hey, ho, let’s go, we’re back again with yet another brief but potent missive of all the reviews fit to print (and then some) in the manner you’ve all come to know and love.

Still sick as a dog (after catching my wife’s convention-sourced industrial strength deathfest of a germ warfare lab a good week back), but figured rather than just suffer and let this build, I’d tackle a few…and found a few real gems in the process.

Yeah, there’s always a balance.  But hey, take the positives where you can find ’em, n’est pas?

Shall we dance?

Another busy week in the neighborhood, we’ve prepped up for yet another Weird Scenes episode to be recorded this weekend and spent a few days on reviews here besides…and that’s on top of everything else life brings and demands along the way.

So here’s another one where we’re cutting it off at about 2/3 of the original intended coverage, to get another batch of reviews out for everyone’s delectation.

Not as many strong offerings in this group, but you’ll find the gems scattered willy nilly among the weeds, as it were.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Well, who’d’a thunk it…two weeks worth of what used to be the opening salvo in those increasingly enormous monthly reviews Third Eye was known for.  Like we’ve been been saying a lot lately…a lot of work to cover all this stuff, and breaking it all down into more digestible regular chunks like this is only making that point more apparent and noticeably valid.
