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.

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.

Hudson, Ohio’s Mayor Craig Shubert seems to be a conservative caricature along the lines of the fictionalized version of Stephen Colbert ala “The Colbert Report.” This could be funny if it weren’t for the fact that he’s a real person, and the actual mayor of an actual city, where his decisions affect the lives of actual people. His official website lists his viewpoints on a number of issues, but does not have anything about ice fishing in public parks on it. Perhaps this is because he takes a hardline stance that apparently ice fishing leads to prostitution. Yes, really. Let’s…

Sometimes multiple crimes can be committed by people across different segments in life. In the case of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, the pair were arrested for laundering bitcoin. But Morgan could also have been charged by society with murdering the very concept of rap music. Let’s be clear on something- allegedly laundering (what was at the time) $91 million following the hacking of a cryptocurrency exchange is bad enough. But you know what else is terrible? This “song.” What you’re seeing here is a reupload of the song “Versace Bedouin” by Razzlekhan, otherwise known as Heather Morgan. It is…

Do they know something I don’t? Based on that, let’s take a look at some “numbers” that came up thanks to Barstool Sports trying to celebrate National Pizza Day. National Pizza Day was February 9th. Depending on the household you live…

Oh Valentine’s Day- an annual date to cherish the feelings you have for a loved one and embrace the joy of being with a person who cares for you.

Well if you’re in that last category, Topo Chico has something to help you with some spiky desert plants. Name a plant that you can’t hug. It…

In 2017, Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe appeared in “The Mummy.” The hope was for Universal to create a Dark Universe series of films with Crowe appearing throughout some of them as Dr. Jekyll (and, of course, Mr. Hyde). After the film made a lackluster impression on movie-goers and film critics, those plans were dashed. However Crowe now has an opportunity to dive into another expanded universe of films as Sony has roped him in their Spider-Man spin-off, “Kraven the Hunter.” We’ve been covering developments on Kraven, including Aaron-Taylor Johnson being cast in the titular role, and J.C. Chandor directing…

The question regarding “Grand Theft Auto VI” was not if it was going to be announced, but when.

Well, we’ve done it. We’ve angered the Gods like never before. Sure, we can attribute things to the flow of electrons and a discharge of electrical energy, but it’s much easier to say we angered Zeus, and he let us know about it. How did he send us the message? By delivering the longest lightning bolt in history as officially confirmed by the World Meteorological Organization. Though only confirmed a few days ago, the lightning strike in question happened back on April 29th, 2020. The bolt went all the way from the central coast of Texas to southern Mississippi, in…
