Heath Andrews has been a student of pop culture ever since he found himself to be the only student in 3rd grade who regularly watched "Get Smart" on Nick-At-Nite. Ever since then he's been engrossed in way too much media with a growing collection of music, books, comics, TV on DVD box sets, and a video game collection that could rival a brick and mortar store. Prior to writing for Nerdbot he's written for Review You, MyAnimeList, and various advertising companies.

If you’re a child of the 80s, chances are that when you were very young, your parents took you to see “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” when it premiered in theaters in 1990. If you were indeed like me, you were obsessed with the cartoon, the video games, the toys; all of it. Furthermore, if you’re still at this point, like me, then you left the TMNT movie having no idea what the hell happened during it. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is a rather unique example of a film that capitalized on a popular culture kid’s craze while doing virtually nothing to make it…

“Impeachment.” That’s the title for the upcoming third season of “American Crime Story.” While the first season gained monumental acclaim and awards for its depiction of the trial of OJ Simpson, the second season was less successful in its tackling of the murder of Gianni Versace. Though it was still well-received, it didn’t generate the same buzz that the first season did. This next season could be the biggest yet as it details the events surrounding former President Bill Clinton and his affair with White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Aside from the amazing performances across most of the cast of…

It is with a devastated and heavy-heart that we report the passing away of one of television’s greatest treasures, Ed Asner. While he was largely known for his work as the character Lou Grant in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and later, his own self-titled spin off, Ed Asner was ubiquitous; as much a part of the medium in the last decade as he was in the 70s. His passing was announced on his Twitter earlier today on August 29th, 2021. It’s a blessing that we had Ed on this Earth for nine decades, with at least six of them…

TikTok has brought us a variety of hilarious, awful, hilariously awful, and wonderfully puzzling things. And while we can’t say that this is the most beautiful of them all, it does certainly rank up there. We are of course, referring to a video of a bunch of rubber chickens, as squished by a bowling ball, playing the iconic theme from “Jurassic Park.” And if that wasn’t enough to intrigue you, keep reading, because there’s a twist. So we pretty much already explained the set-up to you, there’s a bowling ball that’s going to run over some rubber chickens, the noise…

The album cover to Nirvana’s 1991 album “Nevermind” is famous enough to where you don’t have to know the band’s music or even own the specific record, to know what it is. It helps that it’s the ban’s most iconic album, producing the songs “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “In Bloom,” and “Come as You Are” amongst others. Because of its success, that album cover of a nude baby in the water, seemingly going after a dollar bill on a fishing line, was thrust into the homes of millions. But now the baby’s come back, and he’s suing for child sexual…

On August 24th, 2021, it was announced that Charlie Watts, the drummer for legendary rock band The Rolling Stones, had passed away from undisclosed reasons. Watts, along with bandmates, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood have still been actively touring through the decades, even though the band members are well into their 70’s, with Watts himself passing away at the age of 80. It’s hard to write about a loss like this, even though accounts state that he passed away peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by family. The irony of it all is that despite the Stones reputation for…

Planking, Tide Pods, the cinnamon challenge, the choking game; the list of asinine internet challenges and stunts that people have done never cease to amaze. Whether it’s to chase a trend, an attempt to go viral, or wanting to seem relevant, the reason doesn’t matter as the outcome is always the same; empty and fleeting notoriety. So what’s the flavor of the week this time? The milk crate challenge. These are milk crates: You’ve likely seen them before, or used one yourself for storing things or carrying something; it’s not as if they’re some rare object or one of the…

If you’ve been keeping abreast of the news lately (that pun was initially unintended but is now COMPLETELY intended) you’ve probably heard tales of how the company OnlyFans has been heavily criticized for its decision to remove “prohibited adult content” from its website.

A lot of…
