Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    The Shadow (1994) is delightful. It’s fun, atmospheric, and does a great job of capturing the quaint charm of old timey pulp storytelling in a more modern action movie. It’s just a treat, and I honestly can’t believe it bombed, and as far as I know, never even got a cult following.

    The Adventures of Brisco County Jr only got one season and has mostly passed into obscurity. Which is a shame because it’s fun and can be a great little time capsule from the days when people thought the future might actually be something to be optimistic about.

    Cabin Boy is not what you’d call… good. BUT it is still weirdly enjoyable. It’s an experience. One other people should have. Whether they want it or not.

    Advent Rising was so unsuccessful it helped kill the publisher, and it got terrible reviews. And yeah, the game feels like there are glaring omissions due to it being rushed out. But I absolutely love it. The powers are cool, the story is simple but works, and it definitely left me wanting more.

    Also, Babylon 5 will always be underrated because it’s not possible to rate it highly enough.
