While it wasn’t exactly a full-on crossover event, it was certainly a meeting of epic proportions when His Holiness Pope Francis met with Spider-Man. In fairness, it wasn’t the ACTUAL Spider-Man. It was actually an incredibly charitable person who dresses up as the web crawler to visit sick children. It was the actual Pope though, which still makes this meeting its own kind of awesome. A quick look through the Instagram account of Mattia Villardita will show you a number of heartwarming photos from across the last two years of him dressed up as the Wall-Crawler and being hugged by…

It was 25 years ago today in Japan that Nintendo released their follow-up to the amazingly successful Super Famicom aka Super Nintendo. It would prove to be an era of highs and lows for the company as the console would play host to some of the most fondly remembered and influential games of all time, while also failing to adapt to current technological trends. The N64 would bring memorable games and 4 player multiplayer into the homes of millions, but its shortcomings would also give rise to millions of PlayStations coming into people’s homes as well. Today we look back…

It’s a story that seems weirdly funny and odd when you first hear about it but gets decidedly more terrifying the more you think about the implications of it. Over the weekend of June 12th in the city of Lahore, police officers allegedly misused their authority to detain 19 staff members of a local chain restaurant. The reason? Because the staff refused to give the officers free food. While it sounds like something ridiculously absurd, it becomes decidedly less comical when you realized that the staff was held by police for seven hours, and it apparently was not the first…
Leave it to big business to find a way to monetize the living daylights out of anything and everything, for better or worse. While there’s a lot to debate about the fundamentals of non-fungible tokens, the blockchain, and the environmental repercussions of it all, there’s no denying that NFT’s have wrenched their way into nearly every facet of media and entertainment. Seeing the potential in this, Fox Entertainment is working with their animation studio Bento Box Entertainment, to open up Blockchain Creative Labs via a $100 million investment. As the realm of NFT’s have been expanding, various companies have been…
Love it or hate it, “American Horror Story” has become a staple of the FX line-up for the last decade. Depending on who you talk to, the seasons can vary wildly in quality based on the tale they’re telling. It’s a great method of story telling if you enjoy the premise of the season, and if you don’t, well, you probably have a reason to check-out until next year. But what if “AHS” didn’t have season-long arcs, and just focused on individual stories? Enter: “American Horror Stories.” In May of 2020, we reported that the co-creator of “American Horror Story”…

But now we know when you’ll be able to put your pre-order in to take the experience into your own home with the “X-Men” Arcade1Up release.
