A woman scorned is nothing to play with. And a Jeep Cherokee owner learned that this week — or so we think. On Wednesday, a video began making waves on social media, showing a woman dousing the inside of a vehicle with lighting fluid, and nearly lighting herself up in the process. That woman has now been identified as 26-year-old Sydney Parham, according to Fox 2 Detroit.

The scene involving Parham started off giving peak Waiting To Exhale vibes, which is likely why people speculate that she was reacting to the actions of a deceitful partner. The scene quickly turned left when the flame intended for the car alone, ended up too powerful for the fire-starter who was caught in the act. The imagery of Parham being blown back by the explosion she caused is what made people all over the internet intrigued about her identity.

Many attributed the act to a Wisconsin woman, Kelly S. Hayes, who was taken into custody for a similar infraction. However Hayes, according to local outlets and a police report, is alleged to have set her ex-boyfriend’s Chevy Impala on fire, not a Jeep Cherokee.

“The MPD and the Madison Fire Department responded to the 2000 block of Greenway Cross late Tuesday afternoon following reports that a parked car, a Chevy Impala, was becoming engulfed in flames,” the police report stated. “A witness told responding officers that a woman, armed with a baseball bat, had broken out the car’s windows prior to dousing it with gas and setting it on fire.” Hayes was caught after a witness turned her license plate number into authorities. They used the information to track her down. The car was deemed a total loss.

In Parham’s case, the fire department and authorities were called to an apartment complex on Wednesday around 8 am following reports of a car set on fire. Deputies identified Parham as the person seen flying into the air in the viral video that social media users have been watching on repeat. They tracked her down through the video of the encounter that was uploaded to YouTube.

Fox 2 reports that Parham has been charged with third-degree arson, a felony, and is currently being held on a $20,000 personal bond. She’s expected back in court on August 5th.

Only time will tell if we get the full story of what led up to the event and how this story ends. Until then, the Twitterverse will likely continue sharing the video with friends and making memes to add humor to a very dangerous situation.

The Best Batman Film is Now Available on Netflix…and No, it Isn’t ‘The Dark Knight’

https://blacknerdproblems.com/the-best-batman-film-is-now-available-on-netflix-and-no-it-isnt-the-dark-knight/

The best Batman movies and the best Batman actor have always been the sources of much debate among fans. One thing that most fans can agree on is that Kevin Conroy will always have a special place in our hearts with almost 30 years of Batman voice acting under his belt. Fortunately, Netflix has added an underrated film that isn’t just the quintessential Conroy Batman story, but is probably the best Bat-story committed to film.

Originally intended to be a straight-to-video movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was rushed into a theatrical release, resulting in poor box office performance. However, it gained a much wider response once it got to home video and ended up justifying another standalone film getting made. The film is equal parts murder mystery and origin story, juxtaposing between Bruce Wayne at a pivotal point in his life and the present day when a vigilante known as the Phantasm is murdering mob bosses left and right with Batman taking the fall.

There is a retro aesthetic that, to this day, doesn’t quite feel dated but also doesn’t necessarily take you out of the story. Aside from the Batplane, there isn’t a huge focus on gadgets and theatricality. The tough talking, ass kicking detective work has always been a centerpiece of the Conroy incarnation of Batman, and Mask of the Phantasm doesn’t run short on that, adding to its noir-ish quality. And even though the Joker (voiced by the incomparable Mark Hamill) eventually takes center stage as he often does in the TAS days of Batman, the Phantasm is a villain with a rare quality in the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery. In many ways, they represent a funhouse mirror image of our hero, a vision of a world where his quest for justice is a more self-indulgent high on revenge.

More importantly, Mask of the Phantasm stands out among Batman films because, more than any other that comes after, it’s just as much a Bruce Wayne story as it is a superhero swashbuckling fantasy. Here, his alter ego isn’t just a role he plays to keep up appearances. There’s a real duality to the Gotham socialite. Unlike later DCAU franchises like Justice League or Batman Beyond, Conroy actually voices Bruce differently in and out of costume.

We get a look at the early days of a man who isn’t as premeditated as the versions we’ve seen over the years. He has a plan for his life, but his resolve isn’t quite as ironclad….not yet, at least. His tactics are more heroic and fearless than meticulous. He struggles with the trajectory of his life, pleading with a portrait of his murdered parents to wipe his soul clean of the need to avenge them.

All in all, Mask of the Phantasm is a highly effective Batman story considering it only runs about 76 minutes, considerably shorter than most superhero movies these days. So if you’re in between quarantine binges, it’s a pretty good way to kill an hour and change.
