As you may have noticed, Trash Mutant has been inactive since July 2020. While the absence wasn’t ideal, it was necessary in order to complete my investigation. Below, I shall detail what I have learned about David Lynch’s life, answer questions about his upcoming project, “Wisteria”, and explain the sudden silence of Trash Mutant.

- by Ninja Ross 23 July 2020

The X-Men have had a lot of different outfits over the years; some of them have been iconic, while some of them have been a product of their times, to describe them politely. But Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu’s current X-Men run will see a dramatic change in suits for several X-Men that is simply perfect.

The Forgotten Vulnerability

- by Ninja Ross 1 July 2020

One of the coolest aspects of a superhero is the costume. It’s iconic, gives the superhero a recognisable identity. It’s also functional, having evolved from basic tough fabric and leather, to nano fibre mesh metal nano chain mail kevlar made of nano molecules. But there’s one spot so many superheroes miss. One vital vulnerability… The mouth.

Trash Talk: The Funko POP Eco Disaster

- by Señor Editor & Ninja Ross 2 June 2020

Since its 2010 launch, the Funko POP! line of collectible vinyl figurines has been consistently growing in popularity, becoming a worldwide phenomenon. In just a short period, everything from “The Brady Bunch” to Migos got their own line of POPs, and that’s not even counting the tens of variants - from vac-metalized, translucent to flocked, you name it - ...and everybody was loving it. That is until late 2019, when sales began rapidly declining, Funko stock plummeted 39% and it became clear that humanity has overproduced pop culture-related vinyl.

Replacing the Handshake

- by Ninja Ross 6 May 2020

The handshake has been a part of life for possibly millions of years, if my math is correct. There are many variations of it: The high five, the low five, the too slow five and so on. But most importantly, it all involves the touching of hands.

Music Review: "Coronavirus" by Wuhan Clan

- by Ninja Ross & Señor Editor, 31 January 2020

The latest album from Wuhan Clan, Coronavirus, dropped recently without any prior promo (much like Eminem’s “Music to Be Murdered By”), and oddly enough, it’s making quite an impact on Chinese audiences. Americans are just starting to get on board with it, but is the new album worth the hype? Time for a new Trash Mutant album review!

WWIII Won’t be That Bad

- by Ninja Ross, 20 January 2020

2020 has started a bit scary, hasn’t it? The phrase “World War Three” has been flying around and people seem to be a bit panicked by it. Understandably so, the idea of dying in a nuclear blast doesn’t sound so fun. Even less fun is your skin sloughing off and brain tumours popping your eyes out thanks to radiation poisoning.

Mask of the Spider-Man

- by Leo Stableford, 29 November 2019

There are a lot of great moments in Sam Raimi’s Spider-man trilogy; admittedly the number of great moments skewed heavily towards the beginning of those works. In addition, the third one included the scene where Raimi allowed his opinion of being forced to include Venom spill on to the screen in all its cringey disco glory. Nevertheless, Raimi will always be known as the man who brought a credible vision of the web-slinger to the silver screen..

No Surprises in Gotham

- by Leo Stableford, 22 November 2019

This week’s Revenge of the 80s Kids Podcast is about the surprising success of the TV Series Gotham. The surprise (and indeed the success) derives from how well the city that provides ample belfries for housing the world’s most famous bat-man survives as an evocative fictional entity without it’s most famous resident being fully present.

Well, I hope everybody had a fantastic Halloween! And I hope that the number of horror prank related heart attacks is low. But it’s been over two weeks since Halloween and there’s still Jack-o'-lanterns on doorsteps and in gardens.
