Happy Fourth Of July 2025 From Banthaskull

There are four major holidays that are uniquely American. They are Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and today, American Independence Day (a.k.a. the Fourth of July). We don't typically provide content on these days because we assume most of our readership will be celebrating with friends and family, but that practice may have to change at some point. Three years ago, 60% of our audience was American. A recent check shows that our international readership has flipped those numbers, and today, only 40% of our audience comes from the land of the free and the home of the Whopper. Or maybe we go the other way and start skipping content on international holidays too. I think I like that idea. No content on Boxing Day, Bastille Day, and Olney Pancake Race Day.

But back on topic, happy Independence Day to our American readership. Many will be celebrating with backyard cookouts and fireworks. Please stay safe and make sure all your digits stay attached to your hand. If you're careless with your fireworks, Jason Pierre-Paul will put a lump of coal in your red Solo cup. Myself, I will be spending the day at Old Orchard Beach in Maine, and tonight I will partake in my annual 4th of July tradition: watching Jaws. While OOB isn't the New England beach from Jaws, it's a New England beach. I think that's close enough to provide the perfect mood for one of my favorite movies of all time.

We will return to our normal content on Monday, and there is a little drama with that. We have officially entered:


Will Bret find his missing Zett Jukassa figure over the weekend, or will we continue skipping over ROTS #52 and publish the AT-RT Driver review? Tune in Monday to find out.
