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.

It has been over 25 years since “GoldenEye 007” was released for Nintendo 64. The Rare-developed game was a landmark title, proving first-person-shooters could work on a home console. The genre had mostly been defined by PC titles like “Doom” and “Wolfenstein 3D.” Sure those titles had ports to the SNES, Sega Genesis, and more, but they didn’t play the same or feel the same. “GoldenEye 007” had the distinction of being made for consoles of the time, and now you can finally feel that sensation again as the James Bond title hits Xbox Game Pass and the Nintendo Switch…

Sometimes bloopers and jokes can come back around to not be as funny when there’s a change in context. It’s bound to happen every now and then as humor and life itself are ever evolving things. One example of this has come to light recently regarding the television series, “Home Improvement” and it’s star, Tim Allen. Only a few days after he was making headlines following a story in former co-star Pamela Anderson’s new book, a certain scene from the beloved sitcom has come under scrutiny. In Anderson’s memoir “Love, Pamela,” the model-turned-actor recounted an incident on the set of…

Sometimes Harrison Ford pops up in the darndest things, especially here in the latter part of his career. We would not have suspected him taking over the role of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in Marvel Studios from William Hurt, but he is. After starring in his first tv series (Paramount+’s “Yellowstone” prequel series, “1923”), Ford is heading to Apple TV+ for “Shrinking. “Shrinking” stars Jason Segel as a struggling therapist, seemingly burnt out from the combination of his patients, and losing his wife. During one session where he’s listening to a patient drone on, he suddenly snaps and delivers advice…

Leave it to Hollywood to never let a money-making opportunity go to waste. If something strikes it big, you better believe that the film-making industry will capitalize on it. Enter “M3GAN’;” everyone’s favorite killer doll who isn’t Chucky, and wasn’t animated through a voodoo chant. “M3GAN” made a killing at the box office since she debuted at the start of January. How much of a killing to you ask? Enough to already have a release date for a sequel. If there’s one thing Hollywood continues to underestimate, it’s the value of horror titles released outside the Halloween season. Regardless of…

Actor John Larroquette has been making the rounds lately thanks the reboot of NBC’s “Night Court.” Larroquette, who starred in the original, is returning for the revival. Regardless of how you feel about revivals and reboots, they’re always good for bringing classic television stars to the forefront for a while and doing the late night talk shows and junkets. This is the whole reason we got Columbo himself, Peter Falk, on a 2003 episode of “Late Night With Conan O’ Brien.” It’s a great opportunity for legends to break out some fun facts, and boy howdy, did Larroquette drop an…

Few things in the world generate such intense opinions and feelings as does the British Royal Family. Many of those opinions come from high profile Britons themselves. Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been a particularly divisive figure following her marriage to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Of the many things that have been said or written about the Duchess, few have been as vitriolic as those from “Top Gear” presenter Jeremy Clarkson in December of 2022. Following another article he wrote about her, Clarkson may be persona non grata at Amazon. Clarkson is no stranger to controversy. One…

When you hear about “Gotham Knights,” its more than likely in reference to the video game of the same name. In it, four members of the Bat-family team up to help restore order to Gotham in the wake of Batman’s death. They also hope to discover how Batman was killed and bring the killer to justice. Coincidentally, a completely unrelated television series of the same name, with a similar premise, has been developed for The CW. This Batman universe is seemingly unconnected to any others that we’ve seen on television, film, game, or print; picking and choosing elements it wants…

If there was one unequivocal bright spot for Warner Bros. Pictures in 2022, it was “The Batman.” The Matt Reeves-helmed film made around $770 million at the box office, and was well received by audiences and critics alike. It’s hard to bet against Batman, and WB knew that at the time. They went so far as to greenlight a spin-off series before the film even hit theaters. Colin Farrell’s take on The Penguin is really what did it. Early reactions to his makeup test, trailers and featurettes teased what could be with this version of Oswald Cobblepot. (Or as Farrell…

Sitcom “Frasier” is the gift that keeps on giving. With a revival on the docket from Paramount+, and star Kelsey Grammer confirming other original cast members would not be returning, we’ve been curious about possible cast and storyline. Two characters and their respective actors have been announced for the project; one we’ve seen before, another a newcomer. Jack Cutmore-Scott (“Tenet,” “Dunkirk”) will play an adult Freddie. Reportedly, he will be a vastly different person. The last time we saw Freddy was in season 11, when he was going through a goth phase [ITS NOT A PHASE, MOM]. Somehow, despite his…

His tenure with The Yardbirds…
