As we are coming into a New Year, I always try to think of something fun to do, so here is a double dose of superhero cartoon music. Being of the Saturday Morning cartoon generation, I love cartoon intros. Their animation was usually better than the animation of the show, and if the music was good, I could, and still can, watch ‘em over and over again. So here is my list of the best ones. As I mention in one of the videos, it’s interesting to note that DC has like, nearly no theme songs! Occasionally they have voice over (faster than a speeding bullet, and all that) but no singing. So, DC dominates the theme list and Marvel dominates the song list. Also, I try to make it clear that songs are different than themes. It’s a pet peeve of mine to see other people’s lists and see them include songs on a theme list. They are both fairly different artforms, so I feel it’s not fair to compare, say John Willaim’s Superman theme with the Beatles’ Yesterday. So that’s why there are two lists.
I’m also doing this because I feel like the cartoon (and live action show’s) intros are going away. While Disney is the biggest offender, they just slap the show logo on the screen, Warner Bros isn’t too far behind. Beware the Batman and even Justice League Action, are just barely 20 seconds long. That’s just no fun for nerds like me. Heck I remember years back a guy at a Chicago comicbook convention got on stage and started to recite the lyrics to the 1960’s Spider-Man cartoon- in a Shakespearean voice. The crowd loved it. So this is mine little way to celebrate the superhero cartoon intro theme/song. While sure bad ones are quite forgettable, good ones stay with ya forever! Enjoy
Hey Party People,
I hope I'm not spoiling anything here, I waited as long as I thought I should. Because now I'm going to dig into Avengers Endgame and talk about.... what the hell was that!? Now this isn't a so-called “thing bad” video. Because for the most part, I really liked the film. ...
Hey party people. I'll be honesty with ya. Sometimes it takes a loooong time to finish one of these video ones. So I thought I'd do myself a favor by making some shorter ones. So ta-da, under six minutes! Next month's video will be too, as I tackle some fun comicbook trivia. This month I talk ...
Wowie, wow, wow, wow! Creating videos is hard work! This one took longer than I hoped, and it was aided by the fact that I started to do a little bit more writing for Anititcool.com. You can swing by there and read some of my, “This Week in Comics” articles. That,...
Hey party people, welcome to what really was suppose to be the April video! You can read my last blog to see what went wrong. Corvid-19 being one of them. So the good news is, I'm almost back on schedule. I don't think I can get May's video up in the...
So this just a fun short one talking about Wonder Woman wardrobe. To steal a joke from Svengoolie: “You'd like to see more of Wonder Woman on TV? So would I, but that's as small as the censor's will allow her costume to be.” But seriously, this was something I found /...
Hey party people! How's everyone doing in pandemic land? So far so good over here. I thought I'd write something up to check in with everyone. As you may have noticed, I don't have a new video up! Well a long string of bad luck just keeps rolling.
Just when I...

Hey Party People,
Well here's the real video of the month! As I said, it's kind of a Halloween video, so I wanted to released it closer to the actual holiday- at least for those of you for are catching these as they come out. Now I'm not really a horror fan, sorry I...
Hey Party People,
I thought I'd give Puzzle Time another shot. Based on the views last time, not a big fav! But we're still a growing channel, so I'll be giving it a few more tries. This time the puzzle is Masked Man- as in can you guess who the DC character (hero...
Hey Party People,
Well there not much we superhero fans like more than top ten list! Although more often than not, most people just talk about who's more powerful. Which isn't very descriptive, because sure Mr. Mxyzptlk is more powerful than Superman, but so what? Most fans would rather see Superman take...
Hey Party People,
Back with a comicbook review. Overall, I've had no plans to make a video review, but here we are. You see, ever since JMS's days on Thor, I've become a some what a regular reader of Thor. So I was there when Jason Aaron started his run back in 2012....
