Auctioning off memorabilia from films and television is not an uncommon thing. Just the other month there was an auction of items from Academy Award winning film, “Everything, Everywhere All at Once.” This upcoming event though will be of special note to many as it contains the largest known collection of wands from the “Harry Potter” film series. Among several other things. Gary Oldman’s Sirius Black wand Julien’s Auctions Among the wands in the collection is the Elder Wand from “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” Sirius Black’s (Gary Oldman) wand from “Prisoner of Azkaban,” Remus Lupin’s (David…

Dungeons & Dragons has had an interesting history in terms of its reputation and portrayal in media. Often considered to be the bastion of nerds, its also been accused of leading children to evil thanks to various religious groups (*cough* Satantic Panic *cough*). Rare is the time where D&D is showcased as exactly what it is; an in-depth game that encourages storytelling, creative thinking, cooperation, math, and imagination that can sometimes take weeks if not years. All of these things are very important, especially to developing minds. One of the people who recently discovered this is Chris Pine, and he’d…

If you were to list things that have been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons, “crypto” would have to be near the top of that list. Whether it’s because of the legal matters surrounding FTX, how crypto investments tie into the state of the economy, or how the NFT market pushing its way into children’s television programming, it’s a massively complex world that major companies are eager to get people involved in. To that end, a number of celebrities have been involved in the marketing of crypto currency and due to the nature of said involvement, the…

The ever famous prison break. If there is one scenario that has been omnipresent in art and real life, its escaping from incarceration. There’s something exhilarating and dangerous about the set-up. An inmate or group of them manage to break out from under watch and guard to become fugitives from justice! What manner of adventures could they go on, what exotic locations could they wind up at? They could try to cross an international border or the threshold of the uh, the International House of Pancakes…? Photo by Andreas Praefcke As absurdly ridiculous as it may seem, an IHOP in…

Sometimes you look back at the “could have beens” and missed opportunities. Such is life; even when things aren’t quite meant to be, we can still relish in them through our imagination. And what could delight the imagination more than a could have been cameo appearance from a basketball icon or a stand-up comedy legend in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods?” “Shazam!: Fury of the Gods” Warner Bros. Pictures Sometimes a cameo ties in perfectly and makes sense on every level. Other times, it takes a little bit of digging and pop culture knowledge to figure out why a certain…

We have had the sad misfortune of losing some absolutely legendary figures from film, music, and television in the last few years. Most recently Burt Bacharach, and back at the end of 2021, Betty White. BUT we are happy to report despite a recent scare, Dick Van Dyke is still very much with us at 97 years old. Whether his driver’s license will remain with him is still up in the air. Photo by Kristin Dos Santos, Flickr On March 15th, the titan of television was driving his 2018 Lexus LS 500 in Malibu, CA. He reportedly lost control of…

There are some headlines that you never think you’re going to write. Such is the case with the one you see above. We live in a world where William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Won,” a presumed sequel to “Love’s Labour’s Lost” may be forever lost to time and yet, we are getting a sequel to “Good Burger.” Yes, that’s right children of the 1990s, you may rejoice as Ed will once again welcome you to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger and ask, “Can I take your order?” Kel Mitchell in “Good Burger” – Paramount “Good Burger,” the 1997 theatrical…

Capcom will be releasing its remake of one of the greatest video games of all time, “Resident Evil 4,” later this month. Originally released in 2005, the title has been ported to nearly every console imaginable with some extra content, control tweaks, graphical upscaling, and other small fixes. This upcoming remake though is just that, a remake, from the ground-up with the game engine thats been used for the last few “Resident Evil” projects. And while the finished product isn’t out yet, Capcom has released a free demo that we’ve played over the weekend and have formulated some thoughts about…

It’s a sad day on “Sesame Street.” You’d think the one place safe from NFTs, it would be a place of childhood joy, learning, and merriment. Well, it seems like nothing is actually safe anymore, as the blight of the non-fungible token is coming to the childhood street so many of us grew up on. The first target? Cookie Monster. Sesame Street – HBO On March 19th, 5,555 Cookie Monster NFTs will drop. Each of them will be valued at $60.00. The VeVe platform hosting the sale noted that is “only the first” of several NFTs they are planning to…

We don’t shy away from strange foods ’round here. Hell, we’ve even eaten some of them, for SCIENCE. Remember the pizza flavored ice cream that came out last year? We remember. (We even ate it.) From the same ice cream manufacturer, Van Leeuwen, we’re getting another unique flavor. This time, the flavor might be a bit much for us. Even if oddly enough, it probably would work well with pizza ice cream.Introducing Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing ice cream. Coming exclusively to Walmart, this is the only ice cream we know of crossing over with the Hidden Valley salad dressing line.…
