Melanakeami:

Hai! I liked the first Shazam movie, but I did not care for the Black Adam Movie, and Fury of the Gods is my favorite of those three movies of the Shazam mythos! I thought it was a lot of charming fun with great cast character moments, humor, action, sets, costumes, sound and FX! In this movie’s plot, the goddess daughters of the god Atlas want revenge upon the wizard who they claim stole their father’s divine power and gave it to the Shazam family. I will not reveal much more of the plot, but I will mention that there is a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene.

Thank you! I l really liked thIs movie and think that it’s the best D&D movie ever made! For our review of the movie itself, please see our April 2023 Mew! Last month. the PG-13 rated 134 min. 2002 movie was released on home video in different formats such as the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD, and some include more special features than others. Although the outer cardboard sleeve indicates that the Blu-ray edition has over an hour of special features, I only counted about 48.75 minutes worth, so I’m assuming that it’s a misprint and that perhaps i’s the 4K Ultra HD edition that has more special features.

The Blu-ry’s special features do include the 6:51 gag reel, three behind -the – scenes featurettes with comments by the cast, directors and other members of the crew; five extended versions of scenes and one deleted scene. “From Dice to Dragons: Honoring the Lore” is the 11:15 discussion of how the game was adapted faithfully into the movie; “Rogues’ Gallery: The Heroes of Dungeons & Dragons” is the 11:24 discussion of the characters; and “Broadswords, Battle-axes & Badass Brawls” is the 8:40 look at the stunts and props! Those featurettes are rather brief, but they are informative and entertaining!

The extended versions of scenes are “Gorg’s Arrival”, “Ice Breaker”, “Eating Ash”, “Harper’s Sanctuary”, “Corpses”, and the deleted scene is “Harassing Holga”. Those total 10:35. The disk’s audio choices are English, English Descriptive (written by Dakota Green and read by Frankie Corzone), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), French (France), French (Canada), Italian & Brazilian Portugues. The optional subtitles are in English, English SDH, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), French (France), French (Canada), Italian Brasilian Portugues, Danish, Sedish, Finnish, Dutch & Norweigian.

Also included in the plastic case are the instructions for streaming or downloading the digital copy of the movie, but I haven’t tried to use that. Although I’m very pleased with the audio and video quality of the movie, and I enjoyed the special features, I wish that the Blu-ray had more of them, such as… oh,  discussions about the monsters, magic, mythology, locations, history, FX, sound and music, and perhaps also some art galleries, audio commentaries, and an isolated music track would be nice too. Ah, that’s all for the TV, DVD and movie portion of The Mew, and now it is time for Ilyana to start our

Hai! Created by Nitroplus, Smile of the Arsnotoria is the novel, manga, anime, video game and merchandise purrtaining to the girls who are female human students at the magick acatemy! Residing in the same dorm are the main characters who enjoy the studies, fun, games, parties, and adventures in the fantasy realms such as the Cat Kingdom, where they have the sword-wielding sexy bikini-clad pursonas!

Arsnotoria is the White-haired catgirl in the Black & White bikini with the boots & hoody cloak, Abramelin is the Dark Violet-haired catgirl in the bell-sleeved skimpy Black bikini & boots, Mel is the Green-haired catgirl in the Orange rompurr, boots & Black bra, Picatrix is the Blonde catgirl in the White bikini, boots & skirt, and  Petite Albert is the Black-haired catgirl in the Black & White bikini, hat, thigh-highs & boots!

The Good Smile Company is known for their lovely statues and figurines, and their Popup Parade line is intended to offer splendidly designed, sculpted and painted PVC figures of many popular characters at the economical size and purrice, and that inludes the new figures of those five characters! Each are sold sepurrately and look quite lithe, graceful, and cutely alluring in their skimpy ornate bikini attire!

Purrched upon the circular White ABS base which is 3.875” in diameter and .5” high, Abramelin is in the playful spurringing pose, her slender cat tail and long ponytail coiffure arcing around he 5.5” longsword in the scabbard on her back! Were she standing flat-footed at attention, the figure would be 7.75” tall (including cat ears & boot heels), but in that pose including the base, the figure is about 7.75” tall overall.

The details are quite meticulous, and the paint so smooth, from the White trim on the scalloped Black sleeves, the lacings, strap buckle & rings of the weapon, the cute widdle berets in her hair, and the tufts of her cat ears, to the gleam in her Light Red eyes,  the ribbons & lacings of the boots, he inny belly button on her bare toned taut tummy, and the purrt underboob revealed by the teensy  bikini top, mew la la!

All of that is packaged in the purrotective clear plastic clamshell within the clear plastic outer 5.5” x 5.5” x 9” box, and I have seen the retail purrice of it vary from $34.99 to $45.99, so I reccomeownd that you shop around! I will give this splendid figure the high purraise and I hope to eventually purrchase the figures of Arsnotoria, Mei, Picatrix and Petite Albert! I am done, and nyow here is Nyanko to discuss the-

Arigato! All Eite Wrestling’s 5’10” tall, 177 lb  supurrstar Jade Cargill  from Florida is one of our current favorite wrestlers, so I was pleased to purrchase this excellent action figure of her! Made by Jazwares, this 6.75” action figure #28 of appurroximately 1/10 scale is part of the Unmatched series 4 line of figures, which also includes figures of CM Punk, Chris Jericho, MJF, Cody Rhodes and Adam Page!

I think that the design, the sculpt and the paint of this athletic bikini-clad  figure are terrific, with the great portraiture, anatomical purropurrtions and intricate details, from the strands of her White hair and the outy belly button  on her taut abs, to the emblems on her knee pads and the laces of her boots! She is also extremely posable, with the articulation in her neck, shoulders, uppurr arms, elbows, wrists, abs, waist, hips, thighs, knees, lower legs and ankles!

The shoulders and hips are ball joints, whilst the elbows and knees are double- jointed, which is great for the dynamic poses and wrestling holds! A variant pair of interchangeable hands are includes, so she can be posed with the grasp or the punch! An action figure display stand is not included, but she is well- balanced as to not require one. I am very pleased with this figure, and I have displayed her upon the shelf between the figures of Hikaru Shida and Alicia Fox! I am done and nyow here is Ellie to discuss the

Arigato! Created by author Steve Englehart and artist Don Heck, Mantis first appeared in The Avengers #112 in 1973, so it seems only appropriate that The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie would be released on her 40th anniversary! In the live-action movies she is wonderfully portrayed  by actress Pom Klementieff and in the animated tales she is voiced by Jennifer Hale!

This latest figure of Mantis by Hasbro is part of the wave that includes figures of Nebula, Rocket, Deax, Kraglin, Adam Warlock, and each figure includes one of the pieces needed to build a figure of Cosmo the psychic Soviet space dog! She is such a good dog! This

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Mantis build-a-figure), 

eck, shoulders, uppurr arms, elbows, wrists, abs, hips, thighs, knees, lower legs and ankles, so she can be posed in agile, graceful stances just like the character. A or display base is not included in the plastic-free packaging, but she is balanced well enough as not to require one, so I am very pleased with this figure! Nyow here is Mie-ensei to review Hasbro’s

Elizabeth:

Hai hai, that might also include the genetically, meowgickally, or cybernetically enhanced or altered animals. You know, there are some Harpies in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and there many uplifted beings in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, such as Phyla, (purrtrayed by Kai Zen), Latti (purrtrayed bySarah Anne, War Pig (voiced by Judy Greer), Lyla (voiced by Linda Cardellini) and Floor (voiced by  Mikaela Hoover)!

Becca:

We love the animated TV series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, and we were quite pleased by the additional supurr heroines of the fauna theme such as Alix Kubdai alias BunnyX in the skin tight Light Blue & White costume with the rabbit ear; and Ayla Cesaire alias Rena Rouge in the skin tight Orange, Black & White costume with the foxy ears and tail!

Elizabeth:

Becca:

Nextly in our spotlight is the South Korean vocalist / Rappurr Jennie Kim of the K-pop group Pinkblack, because in the mewsic video for the song “Pink Venom” from their 2nd studio album Born Pink, she bursts fabulously through the wall, wearing the sheer Red leopurrd  purrint gown and lace body suit accessorized with the high heels and oppulent jewelry, so we will consider her as the “honorary catgirl” too!

Elizabeth:

In its 2nd season on the FUSE network, Sex Sells is the documentary TV series on Sex Sells is the documentary TV series purrtaining to sex-related businesses, and it is hosted brilliantly by Weezy WTF the podcaster, writer, comedian and sexpurrt! In this TV series she often wears the lovely Black & White zebra – striped garments such as the tops, shorts, boots and pant suits, and for that captivating  appurral we will consider her as the honorary “shimauma musume”!

Becca:

Chime TV is the splendid cable TV network devoted to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander TV shows in English, and it has been showing the wonderful Singaporean TV slice-of-life dramatic series Lion Mums, which stars Bernice Liu as Jennifer Tan, Lina Ng as Chae Lian, Nurui Aini as Durrani Mazian and Vanessa Vanserstraten as Ho Min-Yi.

They are moms who deal with all of the usual meowternal concerns of work, school, leisure, health, finances and so forth. Although they do not seem to have any feline DNA or are purrticularly known for the kitty couture, nevertheless they do have the fierce purrotective spurrit for their widdle kiddies, and so we will consider those lovely Lion Mums as the “honorary Mesu Raions”!

Elizabeth:

Based on the manga by Haruto Hino, the anime series Takunomi purrtains to Michiru, Kae, Nao and Makoto who love the libations when they return home from work! Often they are depicted with the stylized sly cat grin for comedic effect, and we see that Michiru and Makoto wear the Ribbon Kitty brand of undergarments, but it is Nao (voiced by Chika Anzai) who behaves quite catlike in epurrsode 3 after quaffing the can of Wednesday’s Cat Belgian style White Ale, She nearly succeeds at coaxing Michiru to follow suite! She is so catlike during that scene, that a chibi neko version pops up to translate her inebriated meowing!

Becca:

Of course, we were quite in awe over what the supurrb singer, rappurr song writer, mewsic purrducer and fashion icon Doja Cat (whose 2014 debut EP album was titled Purr!) has purreviously donned the cat earsand leopurrd purint attire, and we were purrticularly fond of her purrformance in the strapless Pink furry outfit, ears and sultry cat-like mannerisms in her “Say So” mewsic video! Well, she may have outdone herself for the annual Met Ball Gala, because for this gamorous event she wore the sexy sleevless backless Silver – White ombre beaded gown with the fur-like feathered train by Oscar de la Renta dress with the cat-eared cowl!

Elizabeth:

As if that was not fabulous enough, she went all out with the alluring feline facial purrosthetics by her friend Molina, and the long kitty claw nails by Sasha Livingston! That meowgnificent appurrance was inspired by the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfelds’ adorable Birman Cat Choupette! Fur-themore, when intermewed by podcaster/ youtube / model Emma Chamberlain, she nyanned (meowed) the replies! At the Vogue channel on Youtube, there are several videos of her purrparing for the appurrance and arriving at the red carpet! That is all for this month’s spotlight, and nyow here are Petra, BunnIi and Tara-chan to purrsent the latest –

Bunnii:

Firstly we are delighted to display “Yellow Peril” by Melody Rondeau! The samurai kitty craves poultry and mouse meat for suppurr, but the Blue Team does not wish to coopurrate!
