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…

Funko, pop culture giant that was perhaps too big for it’s britches, is literally dumping $30 million worth of unsold merchandise, including Pop Vinyls. Even if you don’t own one of the large-headed figurines, you have to have seen them in stores or know someone who owns them; maybe owns several. With the variety of shows, games, films, comics, and musical groups they’ve been modeled after, there’s likely a Funko pop out there that you’d be especially fond of. In fact, there actually might be too many, and Funko itself is needing to take action as their inventory is actually…

Just how Swiss is your Swiss chocolate? One would think that’s purely a hypothetical question but it turns out there’s actually some legitimate criteria for that designation. As it turns out, if you don’t follow this criteria, you may be in trouble with the government of Switzerland itself. Such is the case of the famous Toblerone chocolate bar ,and some recent changes made by the company that owns the candy, Mondelez International. Now the unique chocolate treat has to undergo some changes to avoid violating Swiss law. Some countries have certain mandates in order to emphasize elements of their culture,…

Let’s face it, when you’re a nerd, you have to be pretty well-rounded in popular culture. One thing that has never really gone away completely is pinball. We’ve covered development of new tables themed around Rush (the band) and Godzilla in the past. The whole reason we can even do this is because in the last several years, pinball has started to become popular again. A project in the works aims to tell the story of that popular resurgence in the form of a documentary, and just launched a Kickstarter for funding. Before there were video games and arcade games,…

There are few modern writers who are as prolific in their output as Stephen King. Since the publication of “Carrie” in 1974, King has released novels almost yearly, and sometimes more than one. Since 1976, King’s novels have gotten major film adaptations, once again starting with “Carrie” (directed by Brian De Palma). It’s possible more people know King’s work BECAUSE of the many adaptations than from the books themselves. It’s only fair then that a documentary be made about all these movies, which is exactly what we’re getting this summer. “King on Film” is a documentary by Daphné Baiwir. It…

Publicity stunts; if ever there was a kind of marketing tool that could backfire, this is the one. Some of them can be incredibly creative, others can cost people their jobs or wreak unintended havoc for people caught up in them. When it comes to publicity stunts for horror films though, there’s the added potential for things to go awry since often times, the theme of them tends to be suitably scary. Enter “Scream VI” and a stunt that gave the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office a good scare. Even if you’re not particularly a fan of the “Scream” series, you…

For the last nearly seven years, groups of four people at a time have been terrorized by an entity that employs different killers to do its bidding. The killer must attempt to capture the members of the group and sacrifice them to the Entity in order to steal a piece of their souls and their hope. The only chance for these individuals to escape is to activate generators that will power the gates out of this mysterious location, that may be their final resting place. This scenario has been played out millions of times by players around the globe in…
