It's the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens, a supremely watchable movie. Making the villain an entitled manbaby was an inspired choice. The saber flying into Rey's hand is the best moment in the sequel trilogy, unless we count the other time a saber flew into her hand.

It's a shame this was the last issue of Dojang, because I would have liked to see which befuddlingly incongruous backgrounds they would've come up with next.

Who could forget the 2013 Bostoo Yook Yarters? That was Bobson Dugnutt's MVP season!
For anyone worried AI will replace all of us.

My phone keeps trying to autocorrect "norovirus" to "Morbius". Both are plagues on humanity!!

You just don't see much MS Paint graffiti on magazine covers anymore. Much respect to the mouse precision of whoever did this, by the looks of it a 9th grade girl.

One of the best things about Star Wars is that on the same night we can learn about one game in which the FATE of the ENTIRE OLD REPUBLIC is at stake, and one game in which SEBULBA is now VERY OLD but he still loves RACING.

Feels like it’s time to finally get around to playing KOTOR 2.

Recently found my copy of Codename: Strykeforce #1. Unlike most of the rest of my old comics, this one is bagged and boarded, which tells you how serious I was about this investment!

If you've never seen a TKD board-breaking demonstration, they're extremely awesome and almost never do the participants land on their heads, as seen here.

Can't claim to be an expert on South Korean/North Korean combat art relations, but I have to imagine this above-the-banner coverline was intended to drive some outrage sales at the newsstand.

Shanghai Noon 3.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Happy 40th birthday to Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, which is pretty terrible in a very fun way.

Up next is an in-depth look at Dojang, the short-lived Korean martial arts magazine that bet its readers demanded only the best in front kicks, paper stock and legal advice.

Predator Badlands is my favorite movie of 2025. The film that dares to ask "What if a Predator won for once?" It's got both a little guy AND a short king. And everyone finds A New Way.

All magazine cover lines should look like they're being yelled by the person depicted. "Don't underestimate JUDO"

Now I'm just going to be sad forever about the Karate Superman movie starring JCVD that will never be made.

Why didn’t they ever make fun-size Whatchamacallits?

This feels like the "the Pohlads have announced that they're not actually selling the team" of managerial picks.
Twins are hiring Derek Shelton as the new manager.

Shelton served as the Twins' bench coach under both Paul Molitor and Rocco Baldelli before leaving after the 2019 season to become the Pirates' manager.

Shelton had a 306-440 (.410) record during six seasons in Pittsburgh and was fired in mid-May.
