  Def Rec: Non-Spoiler Review of the newest Spider-Man Movie Should you watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)? It’s not a question of whether or not I definitely recommend that you watch the latest Tom Holland-starring Spidey flick - it’s not even an issue of when you ought to see it. Most people are rushing to the theaters to see it or seeking any alternative means to do so. Let’s be honest, this is a Marvel movie that actually feels like it matters (for a change, in my opinion), so there is a serious sense of urgency. In addition to simply being excited about this new MCU adventure, eager fans are also wanting to avoid online spoilers. In order to escape crucial plot details, you would have to go completely dark, which the vast majority of folks aren’t willing to do. It’s sad, but this is the world we live in. Yet there are those among us who are either legitimately willing to hold out for streaming or just can’t go to the cinema for whatever reason. Regardless of when or where...

 Eric Icarus: Mythos is here Fans of superheroes, sci-fi, teen drama, emotional trauma, revenge, and robots - this adventure anthology is for you. I’m excited to launch my newest book, Eric Icarus: Mythos, an action-packed four-part collection of short story prequels. The world of Unsecret Identity and Unsecret Origin keeps expanding and reaching new heights. As the series developed, the characters and their unique histories grew to where there was more lore to explore. This set of “untold tales” can be read as standalone stories though they do all connect. You do not need to read Eric Icarus Books One or Two since Mythos takes place before those events. Synopses: Unmask the truth, unleash the heroes - the Mythos begins here. Years before the rise of Eric Icarus, these are untold tales of dangerous secrets, fractured heroes, and the buried history of the Super Society, the legendary defenders of New St. Cloud City. THE SUPERVILLAIN’S OATH: For the first time in print! Teen...

  Def Rec: Best “Day” Movies Training Day (2001) Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) gives Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) a run for his money by having maybe the worst 24-hour shift ever. On his first day on a new gig as a narcotics detective, Jake gets to partner with really seasoned LAPD vet Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). The pair break laws, bend truths, and get wet. Director Antoine Fuqua created an immortal film about street crime and cop corruption that lives on in memes and is infinitely quotable. People loved the movie so much that a television adaptation debuted in 2017. Starring Bill Paxton as Detective Frank Rourke and Justin Cornwell as Detective Kyle Craig, this “Day” only lasted thirteen episodes. Similar to the likes of 24: Legacy (2016-2017) and the TV series version of Dark Blue (2009-2010), you simply can’t bottle the lightning of the original cast. Reason To Rec: Washington’s bigger than life - and Oscar-winning - performance is worth the price of admission. This is...
