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.

It may only be April, but that’s not going to stop summer from coming eventually. And for those of us in warmer climates, you may already need something to help beat the heat. Well, what better way to do it than with an inflatable water sprinkling dragon that sprays water out of its mouth and its… under…belly? Made by HearthSong, this dragon…lizard…thing is over 7 feet long, approximately 5 and a half feet high, and is super colorful. The design allows for an archway to form with his torso, allowing for kids to run under him. Multiple water spouts along…
Somedays you want to feel like a winner. Other days you want to feel like one, but just can’t. So what can you do instead? Well, you can do what any normal human being would do and place judgment on something else to determine its value. What better objects to do that with than avocados? And what better way to show your avocados which one is the best with a podium made just for them! Behold, the Avocado Ripeness Ranker created by Kyle Courcy. Made of solid walnut, this functional decorative piece is obviously made more for the novelty factor…
Frequent Nerdbot readers know we’ve covered a lot of strange foods. Just a few months ago, we told you about pickle flavored cotton candy. Of course there was last year’s Fruit Loops flavored milk, not as strange. What’s on the menu today? Well, as you probably figured out from the title. The one item we’re sure everyone has always wanted but was just too afraid to ask for- Van Leeuwen’s pizza flavored ice cream. How exactly does one make pizza flavored ice cream? Well, in this case through the combination of mozzarella and cream cheese, basil crust cookies, and tomato…
For 35 years, children and those young at heart have been trying to find out “Where’s Waldo?” Well, in the United States and Canada that is. In the UK, fans have been trying to find out “Where’s Wally?” Created by Martin Handford, “Where’s Waldo?” began as a series of picture books where the reader is instructed to located the titular character of Waldo amidst a cluttered image filled with other people and objects. But if the madcap insanity isn’t enough for you, now you can assemble a 3,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a picture and THEN find Waldo! This puzzle by…
It’s almost as if a film plot has come to life, but it couldn’t be more real. In 2019 a fire broke out in the famed Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Despite extensive damage to the historic building, rebuilding efforts commenced, in part thanks to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. But amidst the debris, a mysterious lead sarcophagus was found, the contents of which are unknown. What could be inside, and what curse could be placed upon it that will affect those in search of answers? Well obviously the last part of that paragraph is a stretch, but the rest of it…
Is there a neuralizer to make us forget how old we’re feeling? July of 2022 is going to mark 25 years since the release of the surprise blockbuster film, “Men in Black.” It’s hard to believe its been two-and-a-half decades since the movie hit theaters but also hard to remember a world without the film, given how ingrained into pop-culture its become. So in the lead-up to its anniversary, let’s take a quick look at the franchise and what to expect this July. (Like the 4K release you can pre-order now!) You’d be forgiven if you didn’t know that “Men…
The recent news about Bruce Willis stepping away from acting due to ongoing health issues has not been easy to take. While we’re still brokenhearted about it, one of the ways we’ve been trying to cope with it has been to look at Willis’ career and highlighting some of his performances that don’t get enough attention. Sure, he’ll always be remembered as John McClane in the “Die Hard” series, and Butch in “Pulp Fiction,” but when you’ve had a career as extensive as his, it’s easy to forget how great he was outside of those roles. So let’s go back…
In April 2022, “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” will be celebrating its 5th anniversary. Despite originally releasing back on the Wii U in 2014, the game has seen new life recently thanks to Nintendo introducing more courses to the Switch version via DLC. What does that mean for hope of a brand new Kart experience in the future? Who knows, but for the time being, we can look back at the series as a whole and rank the titles in terms of their overall quality. Before we go into the ranking though, there’s a couple stipulations to put in place. The…
