The F.C. Marrow Blog

I’m not going to see your movie, Zach. Not in theatres. Not on streaming. Not when it lands in a bargain bin somewhere in 2031 for four bucks. And before you or anyone else says it—no, I…

Full spoilers ahead. All of them. You can’t argue this movie honestly without them. I saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day last night, and I’ve been chewing on it ever since, because I walked out…

Let’s Get One Thing Straight: I Love This Movie. Before anyone reaches for the pitchforks, understand that I am about to spend an entire blog picking at one of the greatest horror films…

We Used to Know What a Hero Looked Like. But somewhere along the way we forgot, and I’ve been holding this behind my teeth for years. Now I’m done being polite about it. After years and…

I Was Not a Fan of the 2021 Mortal Kombat Film... And I had very few, if any, expectations for this one. DISCLAIMER: Before I begin, just know I'm gonna shit on Capcom and Zach Cregger…

How the FUCK did this happen? That’s exactly what was running through my head the second the credits rolled on my first watch of Project: Hail Mary , the balls-to-the-wall Sci-Fi Action…

What I'm Working On I told myself I wasn't going to do these anymore... But... It seems like every time I make a "what I'm working on" blog, I end up changing what I'm working on and not…

You ever reached a point so low that it felt like you had reached the bedrock? I have. More than once. That hollow moment when the stone you’ve been pushing—the weight, the guilt, the…

If you were an 80's or 90's kid with a love for anime, you probably remember Akira... I do. But I remember it all. I was a late-’80s baby, which meant I came up in that narrow window where…

There was a time when few characters came close to the strength of the Incredible Hulk... And when I say strength , I am not talking about raw lifting power alone. I am not talking about…

First, let's get the transparency out of the way... I’m a 37-year-old, white, American male K-pop stan. And I don’t mean that in the polite, casual way people usually say it—like I throw a…

Let's be clear, I mean Vol.1 & Vol.2 as a collective, singular, entity... And I'm 100% dead serious. Sure, Tarantino has no shortage of films people worship. Pulp Fiction practically has…

A writing hiatus? What could you POSSIBLY be working on that's more important than the literary treasures that you have been bestowing upon the world, F.C. Marrow!? Well... Not more…

I’ve never pretended to be a literary purist. If anything, the opposite is true. Books raised me, sure—but cinema shaped the way my mind frames a moment, and video games taught me how a…

This is very much going to be a "rip the band-aid off" kind of blog... This isn’t a subject I want to talk about so much as one I have to talk about—an exorcism, a purging, a dragging of…

What is Your Pokemon Top 10? What can really be said about Pokemon... That hasn’t already been said? I still remember, ten years old, kneeling on the floor in front of a pew at my…

What a breath of fresh FUCKING air, Fallout was... Now, I'm writing this right before Season 2 releases, so hopefully these words still ring true a few months from now—but goddamn, that…

Well, well, well… if it isn’t Halloween time again. And with Halloween comes everyone’s favorite season (and if it isn’t yours, you’re wrong). Pumpkins on porches, fake cobwebs tangled in…

I Had Forgotten... I couldn’t tell you what year it was exactly—mainly because I didn’t get a PlayStation until well into its life cycle. We were never the kind of family that could afford…

The number of TV shows brought into the world since the advent of television and now streaming, probably borders on countless, at this point. The sheer number of them, high quality or low,…

Resident Evil Stopped Being Resident Evil - At #7 (Despite What You've Been Told) Note, written in retrospect after finishing this piece: I realized something important while writing this,…

I can’t even begin to express how much I love the Rush Hour trilogy. And when I say that, I don’t just mean the first film—I mean all three. Unabashedly, unapologetically, I love Rush Hour…

It's okay to be sad. It means you loved something enough to miss it. And maybe, if you were lucky, it loved you back. And THAT should make you happy. And it's okay to be happy. My Granny...…

Horror Podcasts on YouTube! If you follow me on any of my socials, you probably already know that Olivia Blair—my badass friend, and co-founder at Fanward—and I host a weekly podcast where…

As a man who has lost a number of heroes due to mental health issues, emotional trauma, and unresolved pains, this month is particularly important to me, and even more so a topic of extreme…
