Now that you’ve learned of the TV Movie, I show you the TV Pilot for the M.A.N.T.I.S. TV show. The character Miles Hawkins (as MANTIS) and the same actor playing him (Carl Lumbly) return.

What’s it lie to read a comic book on a CD-ROM? That’s what Marvel Comics asked in 1995, and why we have this obscure experiment of comics on CD when Cd-ROM technology was just gaining ground. There were plenty of ways to make it more ‘interactive’ like including sound effects and videos. [...]

Murphy’s Media Memories – X-Men: The Animated Series (TAS) – Morph’s Character Arc + More

Yes, it’s time for something popular from my memories, but a little different than most people do it (since there are most likely millions of reviews of this show on the internet). In this episode, I spend a lot of time going over Morph’s character arc on the series, as well as describing his [...]

Murphy’s Media Memories – Jurassic Park Stolen By Carmen Sandiego Invaded By The Alien Cyborgs: The Game
