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. Since 2016 he's run his own YouTube channel under the moniker of The Critical Android where he livestreams video games and uploads podcasts about pop culture and Frasier.

Sometimes you look back at the “could have beens” and missed opportunities. Such is life; even when things aren’t quite meant to be, we can still relish in them through our imagination. And what could delight the imagination more than a could have been cameo appearance from a basketball icon or a stand-up comedy legend in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods?” Sometimes a cameo ties in perfectly and makes sense on every level. Other times, it takes a little bit of digging and pop culture knowledge to figure out why a certain person is showing up. So if we were…

We have had the sad misfortune of losing some absolutely legendary figures from film, music, and television in the last few years. Most recently Burt Bacharach, and back at the end of 2021, Betty White. BUT we are happy to report despite a recent scare, Dick Van Dyke is still very much with us at 97 years old. Whether his driver’s license will remain with him is still up in the air. On March 15th, the titan of television was driving his 2018 Lexus LS 500 in Malibu, CA. He reportedly lost control of the vehicle. The car slid, and…

There are some headlines that you never think you’re going to write. Such is the case with the one you see above. We live in a world where William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Won,” a presumed sequel to “Love’s Labour’s Lost” may be forever lost to time and yet, we are getting a sequel to “Good Burger.” Yes, that’s right children of the 1990s, you may rejoice as Ed will once again welcome you to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger and ask, “Can I take your order?” “Good Burger,” the 1997 theatrical spin-off of the Nickelodeon television series “All…

Capcom will be releasing its remake of one of the greatest video games of all time, “Resident Evil 4,” later this month. Originally released in 2005, the title has been ported to nearly every console imaginable with some extra content, control tweaks, graphical upscaling, and other small fixes. This upcoming remake though is just that, a remake, from the ground-up with the game engine thats been used for the last few “Resident Evil” projects. And while the finished product isn’t out yet, Capcom has released a free demo that we’ve played over the weekend and have formulated some thoughts about…

It’s a sad day on “Sesame Street.” You’d think the one place safe from NFTs, it would be a place of childhood joy, learning, and merriment. Well, it seems like nothing is actually safe anymore, as the blight of the non-fungible token is coming to the childhood street so many of us grew up on. The first target? Cookie Monster. On March 19th, 5,555 Cookie Monster NFTs will drop. Each of them will be valued at $60.00. The VeVe platform hosting the sale noted that is “only the first” of several NFTs they are planning to release over the course…

We don’t shy away from strange foods ’round here. Hell, we’ve even eaten some of them, for SCIENCE. Remember the pizza flavored ice cream that came out last year? We remember. (We even ate it.) From the same ice cream manufacturer, Van Leeuwen, we’re getting another unique flavor. This time, the flavor might be a bit much for us. Even if oddly enough, it probably would work well with pizza ice cream.Introducing Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing ice cream. Coming exclusively to Walmart, this is the only ice cream we know of crossing over with the Hidden Valley salad dressing line.…

We’ve covered our fair share of food related lawsuits. Remember the person who sued Pop-Tarts because their strawberry Pop-Tarts weren’t filled with real strawberry? How about the Subway tuna drama? Well, it’s time to add another one to the mix, this time with a case against Buffalo Wild Wings. What’s the crux of this lawsuit? Well, one man is stating that the boneless wings the franchise is famous for aren’t really wings, they’re nuggets! Yes, that’s right, it might be the case that those boneless wings aren’t made of wing meat but are instead, chunks of chicken breast. Aimen Halim…

Picture it: Sicily, 2023. A group of four ladies in their golden years are trying to experience life, love, and friendship. But then all of a sudden, they get connected in a cross-over with an RPG series! Imagine it isn’t actually Sicily but the internet, where the craziest crossover combinations can happen. This latest might be the only one to combine RPG elements with “The Golden Girls.” And by “might be the only one,” we mean it is very much the only one. If you’ve ever seen “The Golden Girls,” you know one of the show’s core tenets is about…

Professional wrestling is an odd beast. In-ring performances require an incredible degree of athleticism and physical training. All that effort goes into making not an actual competitive event, but fulfilling the means to an end of a pre-determined outcome. The only honest thing about wrestling is the participants are putting their bodies on the line like stunt performers of yore. It’s unlike anything other professional sports offer, but World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) would like to have at least one thing in common with those sports: betting. Sports betting is a massive industry worth multiple billions of dollars. WWE wants in…

It has been eight years since Rocksteady Studios released their last major title. From 2009 to 2015, the UK based studio churned out the remarkable “Batman: Arkham” series, culminating in “Batman: Arkham Knight.” Since then, the studio released a short Batman VR game, and then, nothing. Speculation was rampant they were working on a Superman game, but as it turns out, it was actually “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.” Unfortunately, development of the title seems to have been not as rocksteady as the title that was supposed to release in May 2023 is now being delayed… again. The title…
