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.

One of the most popular Halloween decorations in recent years has been The Home Depot’s giant 12-Foot skeleton. The towering mass of bones has been so successful, the chain has been selling them as early as July, and they still sell out. It’s not uncommon to see people resort to unscrupulous means to acquire popular items. One thing you may not expect though is for someone to outright steal one of the skeletons from another person’s yard in the middle of the day. On October 15th, an unidentified person drove their white SUV alongside the curb outside a person’s home.…

Adam Driver has quickly become a big name in Hollywood, and it’s not hard to see why. Alongside his appearances in the “Star Wars” franchise as Kylo Ren, the actor also starred in “Marriage Story,” “House of Gucci,” and the musical-drama film, “Annette.” It doesn’t hurt that he’s hosted “Saturday Night Live” three times in the 6 years, either. It only seemed like a matter of time before Disney would come knocking on his door again to recruit him into their other big franchise of films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Have they already? Of all the Marvel Studios films on…

People will do a number of things to avoid arrest when confronted by police officers. In fact, earlier this year we covered a story where a man used a heavy duty excavator to try and stop police from arresting his son. If a person is willing to go to those lengths to interfere with the cops, to what end might others go to? Thanks to a Massachusetts woman we now know what some people will do to stop an eviction; and the answer is bees. Lots of bees. On October 12th, police were responding to a house where an eviction…

Few events in human history have been so well documented on live-television as the police chase. While it provides a sense of tension and drama, it also endangers the lives of others and puts their vehicles at risk as well. This was the case on Saturday, October 16th. Just to let you know in advance, yes, the horse is fine. The noble steed that was involved in the ignoble act was taken to the police station and well-treated. As for the person who was mounted, they have not been identified. No further details have been released as to whether it…

There have been many a tale of people seeing significant signs in unusual places. One of the more noteworthy ones is seeing the Virgin Mary in a piece of slightly burnt toast. Some call this a miracle, others call it face pareidolia, the ability to see faces in things that are decidedly not faces. Then there’s taking the time, energy, and resources to actually craft a face out of bread. In this particular case though, it’s not just a face being created, but an entire body. And to add another “bread” twist to it, it’s the body of Han Solo…

If there is one big name is survival-horror video games, it’s “Resident Evil.” If there are two, the second would be “Silent Hill.” Whereas the former Capcom title focuses on science-created zombies, the latter Konami franchise focuses on psychological horror and demonic entities. The contrast in themes helped make “Silent Hill” its own, very distinct, series and not just a knock-off of another popular game. Unfortunately for fans and the gaming world in general, Silent Hill has been dormant since 2014. Now though, Konami is hinting at some kind of revival via a “transmission” that will be coming in just…

In 1980, the team of Jim Abrahams and brothers David Zucker and Jerry Zucker scored a massive hit with the film “Airplane!.” It combined elements of satire and parody with deadpan performances, and a constant barrage of puns. The humor could range from low-class toilet humor, to slapstick, to deceptively smart. It also got them working with Leslie Nielsen who would later work with the ZAZ trio on “The Naked Gun” trilogy. While that franchise hasn’t seen another entry in nearly 30 years, it looks like it’s finally being rebooted, and starring an Irish actor with a “very particular set…

The juggernaut that is Marvel Studios is not immune to lingering effects of production delays. This is something clearly evident by the slew of changes the Disney-owned studio just announced. We’re probably not done seeing delays and release shakeups, so this isn’t truly surprising, but it does change things. “Blade” Marvel Studios’ daywalking vampire flick “Blade” is likely to be a slam-dunk of a hit. Especially considering how the previous Wesley Snipes-starring films have been fondly remembered in recent years. The film has hit a bit of a snag due to losing director Bassam Tariq,.due to scheduling conflicts. The production…

The Master of horror John Carpenter is a man of many talents. While he’s largely known for his directing and writing of horror films, he hasn’t actually directed a film since “The Ward” (2001). Hell, he hasn’t even written a film since “Ghosts of Mars.” The legend spends more time as a composer and musician these days. Instead of releasing films he’s been dropping albums, soundtracks, and EPs like a boss. When he’s not doing that, he’s investing time in one of his other favorite hobbies- video games. As we know, there’s a wee bit of an intersection between films…

If you don’t know how we feel about the sitcom “Frasier,” then you must be intentionally dodging our coverage at this point. We talk about that show a LOT here, and not just in articles. One of the most successful sitcoms of all time, and arguably the most successful spin-off of all time, the depth of our love for it shows no bounds. We’re not alone on this either. The number of “Frasier” memes that get tossed around the internet along with continued success in syndication and streaming could only mean one thing- a revival! Paramount+ gave the planned revival…
