Finally ready X-Statix and whew chile, that book had things to SAY. And like all good X books it’s still tragically relevant. open.substack.com/pub/joejurad... #comics #comicssky

K.DOT DID THAT SHIT

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

Oh! Wrote a thing about the X-Men and the willfully ignorant chuds who miss the point of the X-Men. (Gonna be doing X-Men content all month if you're into that kind of thing!) joejurado.substack.com/p/the-x-men-...

JIM MICKLE IS WRITING AND DIRECTING THE GUNDAM MOVIE?! Shit, fuck, wow, okay.

Me this entire weekend listening to Hurry Up Tomorrow. (I’m so worried for the movie cause the album is such a succinct and effective statement of purpose)

It’s wild the future actually caught up with Charli XCX

Watched a lot of stuff this month and decided to recap it! open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Finally watched Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and boy did we let that movie down. joejurado.substack.com/p/damn-we-re...

Continuing Tuesday’s theme, here’s a starter pack of books to get you on your comics journey! open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Got an influx of new followers so hello! I'm Joe and I write about movies, comics, and games that I think are worth your time. I love sci-fi, JRPGs, and good ass genre storytelling. When I'm not writing, I'm shit posting. Glad to have you here!

Comics can be a very overwhelming hobby to get into. Luckily, I'm here to help! First thing you gotta do is get a damn library card already. #comics #comicsky open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

The Brutalist is confounding. The first 7/10, 215 minute movie where the runtime wasn’t even an issue. To quote Peter Griffin, “It insists upon itself.” It’s got interesting ideas, the epilogue payoff was 👌🏾👌🏾, but it feels like movie that’s convinced of its own importance by virtue of existing.

I saw Heat in theaters last weekend and only now noticed that Akira briefly appears in the film. So obviously I had to talk about it open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

I’ve been playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and I have so many (mostly positive!) thoughts. It’s just…so weird. Both as a game and a Ubisoft product.

Wrote about the strangeness of Community Season 4, the importance of authorship, and how good trailers for bad movies only lead to heartbreak. open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Just Cause 3 is one of the best open world games and I’m tired of acting like it isn’t

Yo! Started an official account for Tastemaker. If you wanna know the publication is all about, read this and perhaps give a follow or sub!

I’m resolved to spending 2025 stacking bread and being an absolute fucking problem. 🫡

Proudly presenting the 2024 TasteMaker list! Which is less a "BEST OF THE FUCKING BEST, BITCH" list and more of an assorted gathering of games and movies I really enjoyed this year. Whats on your list this year? open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Rewatched the Lord of the Rings extended editions this week and I’m still floored by how hard those movies go. I always had a healthy respect for them but they really clicked for me this go around

Reading the complete X-Statix on Hoopla and I wasn’t prepared for how forward thinking this book was. I keep forgetting I’m reading a 20 year old book.

In my latest for Tastemaker, I celebrate (cele-hate?) the year's biggest fictional scumbag: Oz Cobb. I loved how much The Penguin got me to hate The Penguin. #comics #tvreview #substack open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

I’m happy to report that Sonic 3 FUCKS

Giving Brian Tyree Henry his flowers for breathing new life into Megatron in my latest for Tastemaker. open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Sometimes you just gotta watch a 360p rip of Beef II on YouTube

The GOAT. THE GOAT.

The convenient thing about how the term “woke” has evolved is that it allows me to quickly identify patently unserious people when they use it.

The robot we need for these trying times. Creature Commandos went all the way off this week. #dc #comics

We don’t talk enough about how Rob Thomas had that shit ON in the Smooth music video

College Football 25 is the first football game in a decade that I've spent over 100 hours in. Here's hoping EA doesn't manage to EA it (they will). Anyway, here's my latest for Tastemaker. open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Finally read all the Fall of X books. Sad it’s over but so so so glad it happened. Never had a X-Men run hook me the way those books did.

Man, I really gotta play Astro Bot

…did we need dark pac-man?

If the Yuletide isn’t gay I DON’T WANT IT 😤

You know, I’m something of a gamer myself. But seriously, Neo:The World Ends With You and Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line are really good games that deserve more shine. #games #playstation

Y’all really need to stop sleeping on The Fall Guy. Shit BANGS. open.substack.com/pub/joejurad...

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
