I remember hearing about Revisions on Netflix some time ago and always wanted to check it out as I tend to view most of their anime. Now Sentai has released it on Blu-ray for those without the service or so-so internet with the Revisions: Complete Collection set.

The sequel to 2019’s Shazam!, Shazam! Fury of the Gods continues to set itself as a lighter, more upbeat superhero adventure than the darker tone set by Zach Snyder’s now discontinued DC universe. The story continues two years after the defeat of Thaddeus Sivana, following Billy Batson (Asher Angel) and his superhero foster siblings as they take on a trio of new villains set on destroying our world.

Our guests on this table-tilting episode of the Popzara Podcast are filmmakers Austin Bragg and Meredith Bragg, i.e. The Bragg Brothers, the writing/directing duo of Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, their new film that tells the (mostly) true story of how Roger Sharpe would key part in helping overturn archaic gambling laws that made the game illegal.
The guys chat everything from what it was like working with an apprehensive legend, how 2023 could be the year videogame/amusement movies become respectable, how meta narrative is an amazing storytelling mechanic, comparisons to classics like Pirates of Silicon Valley and American Splendor, epic '70s mustaches, inspirational similarities between Roger Sharpe and Rocky, and so much more.
Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game is available now on streaming services everywhere. Even if you don't know a flipper from a bumper, drop a quarter on your favorite podcast, pull that plunger and listen today!

Why make new games when you can re-release old ones? That's the question, isn't it? The results can - and often do - vary somewhat, and I'm happy to report that, by and large, we usually see better than worse for most of the efforts these days. Even the maligned Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Collection has seen a significant upgrade lately, solving its myriad framerate issues.

It’s often said the best sports movies are less about the games themselves and more about the players playing, their lives and inspirations that helped them endure the training and rigors necessary to achieve superhuman feats against the odds. The best ones are inspirational even to those who couldn’t be less interested in whatever the headline sport is, a testament to the universal appeal that “games” can hold As the world of cinema continues to embrace the stories of videogames more and more, Hollywood is quickly learning they’re more than just speeding hedgehogs and magic mushrooms; we’ve got a Tetris movie on the way, though its about how the game was sold and not Alexey Pajitnov’s game itself.

Outside of the typical office Thinkpad, Lenovo has also been hard at work keeping their gaming-oriented Legion sub-brand competitive among formidable peers. Building off its immediate predecessor, the seventh-gen Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gaming Laptop delivers respectable gaming chops without sacrificing portability.

Remember VAIO? What was once a premium computer label from Sony, designed to be the Windows alternative to Apple's Macbook has certainly been through the ringer for about a decade. Largely independent from their original creator now, the brand has returned to the United States primarily in Walmart (and Sam's Club) stores, no doubt eager to reclaim that coveted glory in a very different world of mobile computers.

It’s 2023 and we’re stepping into some new territory at Popzara, starting with this awesome Lovecasa 16-Piece Porcelain Dinnerware Set they were so kind to send.

There was a grim, brutal period in the 2000s or so where JRPGs lost a couple points off the top of many reviews just by virtue of being JRPGs. Dark days indeed.

Time sure does fly, as it felt like The Outer Worlds was just released not that long ago instead of nearly three years. Thanks to all of its sales and people enjoying it, famed game studio Obsidian was able to go back and make it even better with The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, which is the best release of it yet, though not without its share of problems.

At some point during the Cretaceous period some 65 million years ago, an astronaut from another planet crash lands on Earth and must navigate the deadly prehistoric environment in order to protect a young survivor and find a way back home. I didn’t expect too much from 65 since the premise is basically space people vs dinosaurs, which is appropriate as I didn't really get more than that as most of the dinosaurs promised by the trailer never showed up.
