Star Wars Doorables

 Disney is at it again with their successful Doorables line of tiny, cute versions of beloved characters but this time, they're off to a galaxy far, far away.


I haven't gone too far into Doorables in the past but I do have the Nightmare Before Christmas and Haunted Mansion sets. I've picked up an occasional impulse buy when I see the assortment contains characters I want to get...never do end up with the ones I was hoping for.

But with the Star Wars license, there's not any character I wouldn't want! Doorables are a blind pack series so you never know what you're getting. Unless you go online and look up the codes that people have figured out that tell you what's in each pack. Mrs Dex thinks that's cheating but I call it targeted acquisition.
 
There's a few different options, so let's pop open one of these Death Star balls first.

Monthly Media Recap - March 2024

Why So Series-less?
 
This is usually where I talk about recent seasons of something I finished. I've got a few irons in the series fire (I don't know why I said it that way but I'm leaving it in) but they're all still airing.

Movies



Proof that original movies can still be made! I went into this only having seen the trailer. It's clear that most of the characters understand the world they're living in but the way it spoons out information to the viewer makes it such a fun ride. If you're reading this, there's a good chance you'd enjoy this movie as much as I did. There is a horror element to it and some blood but nothing worse than you'd see on The Walking Dead.

Rating: 8/10

Now Hear This - Sorcery

I presume I'm not the only person that has some music that lives only in their head. And what I mean by that is you have your popular music that lots of people know and you hear everywhere but there are some bands/songs that just live within you because it's something you only ever hear when you decide to listen to it. It just doesn't "exist" out in the world. Am I making sense or sounding like a crazy person? 
 
I recently saw Eli Roth's Thanksgiving and was incredibly surprised to hear a few songs from the band Sorcery in the movie. If what I said above made sense to you, then you know what a crazy feeling it is to hear something you're very familiar with but don't expect to hear in the wild.
 
  
Behold...Sorcery!
