  • New Song: “Everybody’s Got a Perineum”

    So the other night I came up with a kids’ song called “Everybody’s Got a Perineum.” It goes a little something like this… 🎶Everybody’s got a perineum It’s a line that goes from front to back It starts out at your genitalia And doesn’t end until it hits your crack🎶 🎶Everybody’s got a perineumIt’s a…

  • Crime Comics With Trench: The Knives: A Criminal Book

    I was never a fan of Ed Brubaker. Not because I didn’t think he was good. I just never read anything by him until now. When he was doing his famous Captain America run, I wasn’t even reading comics at the time. So I didn’t come into The Knives: A Criminal Book (sponsored link) with…

  • Pity the Piledriver

    I’ve been a pro wrestling fan for over 40 years, but I’m not some crotchety old-timer who complains about how much better things were before the internet. I feel like I understand the evolution of pro wrestling. Sometimes the finishing moves of yesterday become the transitional moves of today. For example, 40 years ago, only…

  • A New Supervillain

    The other night, I came up with the concept of a new comic book supervillain. I call him “The Inconvenience.” He’s actually a pretty decent guy, but he always needs a ride to the airport. He also constantly needs help moving into a new place. That’s when he’s not between places and needing a place…

  • Movie Recommendation: Sovereign

    Look at me, watching a movie that’s not animated or about superheroes. Growth and shit! So, let’s talk about Sovereign, a serious film with a serious subject, but one that still managed to hook me, despite the lack of capes or explosions. If you’re not familiar with the Sovereign Citizen movement, here’s the short version:…

  • Comic Book Recommendation: Out of Alcatraz

    Since I started reading comics from more independent publishers, I’ve been reading some really good crime comics. You might think I consume a lot of crime content since I write about crime, but I actually don’t. I don’t read true crime books all that much. I could probably count on one hand how many true…

  • 2024: The Year in Trench

    Yeah. That picture kind of sums up the whole year, doesn’t it? TV: It’s all animated again this year. Suicide Squad Isekai was pretty good for an anime. I know a lot of people complained about how the Joker looked, but it’s an anime. That was exactly how an anime Joker would look. The second…

  • 2023: The Year in Trench

    It was kind of a ‘meh’ year as far as pop culture went. That’s not to say there weren’t some gems to be found. TV: I’m not the biggest TV watcher anymore, but I did watch two series this year, both animated, of course. While I’m not the biggest anime fan, I did watch an anime series…

  • Comic Book Recommendation: Murder Falcon

    I typically don’t get emotional over things like movies and TV shows. I can think of twice in my adult life when that actually happened. Now, we can add a third instance, and that was after reading a limited comic series called Murder Falcon. I’m sure you’re asking how I could get choked up over…
