Shudder-Worth a subscription?
Is Shudder worth the subscription? I had decided to make an account with a free trial for seven days so I could watch Shudder’s new show, “Cursed Films”. Having a love of movies and especially horror, I thought it was a show I would just love. I will provide a brief review of that in a moment.

Is getting a movie theater subscription worth it?
If you're lucky enough to live in a town like mine you will have 3-5 theaters in a reasonable area to see a variety of movies and experiences. I have a couple of AMC's and Regal's and both have subscriptions for about $19.99/month while some states do have to pay a little extra and in Regal's case there are other tiers that allow and both have similar perks. AMC Stubs A-List offers 3 free movies every week with the only restriction plays or other non movie events like Fathom. So IMAX, 3-D, etc. are no cost as long as you're within the week as well as no charge for online reservations. They also have a priority line and a free popcorn and drink upgrades. Though you do have to commit to 3 months or a year. Regal Unlimited allows you to see as many movies you want in a week, but you can still only reserve three showings at any given time. You can also only see a movie once a day in the same format, and you will be charged for movies in IMAX, 4DX, etc as well as a $0.50 fee for making online reservation. You do have to commit to one year even if its a monthly subscription, but you do get 10% off of all concessions. Both are connected to their free rewards programs that help you get points faster. Regal has it set up to certain points get you different items, like 6,000 points gets you a free small popcorn . AMC has it to where every 5,000 points earns you a $5 reward that can apply to tickets or concessions. Both have it to $1 equals 100 points.

How Far Funkos Have Come
Dear Vocal Readers, Oh, Funko Pops, how far they have come throughout the years and what a glorious journey it has been. I have been in love with Funko Pops ever since I first laid eyes on them. At this point I can't even remember the first time I saw one or which character it was, but my collection of almost 40 can tell you how big of a fan I am in place of that knowledge. While I have this many Funkos it does sadden me to say that I only have a select few that are made from the older style. Oh, do you not know how to determine whether one is new or old based on first glance? Well here my friend, let me explain.

Disney+ and Netflix Make the Perfect Combination
I wrote an article earlier that was too harsh towards Disney+ and I want to make things right with this article. At first, I couldn't get over the technical flaws of Disney+. It's not that it's terrible, I just expected better from Disney. Now that I have been watching Disney+ all weekend long I change my mind and 100% recommend getting this streaming service! Disney+ even has a 'Continue Watching' feature now. Which I really appreciate. You might want to get Disney+ soon, while it's still cheap. There is no way that Disney will keep the subscription at this price for long.

Disney+
To say that everyone was excited about this is an understatement. It launched and within matters of minutes millions of people in their 20s and 30s jumped at the chance to subscribe to this product. And for very good reason. Disney+ is everyone’s dream, it is literally a 1990 childhood brought back to our fingertips. Classic shows that were so amazing that we all grew up watching, Even Stevens, Kim Possible, That's so Raven and the list just continues. Plus, it has so many Disney, Pixar and Marvel movies to make everyone’s movie binging dream comes true.

DC Universe Roku Review
DC Universe officially launched on 9/15, Batman day! DC Universe is currently offered at two different price points, $7.99 a month, or $74.99 for a one year subscription which is a savings of 20% versus the monthly plan. When DC Universe was first announced during Comic-Con, they introduced a plan for $74.99 for 15-months instead of the standard $74.99 12-month plan. I was a little worried placing $74.99 down on an app that still had not been released, but I took the leap. I figured $74.99 for 15 months turns out to be $4.99 a month, a savings of $3.00 a month over the standard monthly plan, what a deal.
