Even though Marvel and DC Comics are the biggest names in the comic book industry, they aren’t the only ones. Many a fan would be quick to point out the existence of Image Comics, which is home to “The Walking Dead,” “Invincible,” and “Spawn” among others. Perhaps the next biggest after that is Dark Horse, responsible for titles like “Hellboy,” “The Mask,” and “Sin City.” While they may never reach the height of Marvel or DC, they’re popular (and successful) enough to have just been purchased by the Embracer Group. So who is the Embracer Group? Well, for a very…

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the finale of “The Golden Girls.” So if you haven’t seen it in the 29 years since it first aired, you’ve been warned. Picture it, Miami, 1992; “The Golden Girls” is wrapping up a seven season run with Bea Arthur wanting to call it quits. The rest of the cast wants to continue though, with Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty willing to continue their characters into further adventures. So a continuation is created, but suddenly, tragedy strikes; the show is cancelled after one season. Even though the show is aired in reruns…

Do you remember that scene in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” where the entire Griswold family freaks out because of a squirrel in the Christmas tree? Obviously it’s played up as intentionally over the top given that squirrels aren’t really a major safety threat (unless they’re rabid but, well that’s just common sense) but what if it wasn’t a squirrel? What if instead of a cute rodent, there was a powerfully venomous boomslang snake hiding in the tree? Wel,l then you’d be the Wild family from South Africa. On Friday, December 10th, Rob and Marcela Wild were decorating their Christmas tree…

The days of the arcade are long gone and yet coming back in a new way. Thanks to the company Arcade 1-Up, 3/4th sized replica arcade machines can be purchased for assembly and play in your own home. To this day the company has released a number of games including some original classics like “Pac-Man,” “BurgerTime,” and “Frogger.” They’ve also gone through the decades after them and released “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Marvel vs. Capcom,” several different “Street Fighter” versions, and so many others. Notably absent from the list were light gun games, but that omission has been rectified thanks…

In 2018, a one-two punch was delivered by Capcom with its long-running franchise, “Mega Man.” First, it would release the 11th main numbered game after an extended series hiatus. Then, there was news of a film being made starring the blue bomber himself. This “Mega Man” film was set to be live-action, and to be written and directed by the duo of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The pair alluded to a ‘big announcement’ coming during their SDCC At Home panel in 2020.And now, it would appear that Netflix has entered into an agreement to distribute the film, whenever it…

When Warner Bros. bought up the streaming rights to streaming rights for “South Park” in order to air the show on HBO Max, it would end up leaving Comedy Central’s parent company, Viacom, in a unique position. Sure WB paid $500 million for the exclusive streaming rights over a 5-year period, but what’s Viacom going to do now? If they can’t stream “South Park” episodes on Paramount Plus, how are they going to draw the audience in? But then the answer came to them; movies. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone made a deal to make 14 original…

Nuts and Christmas go hand-in-hand. I can personally remember the mixed nuts that my Grandmother set out for her annual Christmas party every year. And no, I’m not referring to the film “Mixed Nuts” starring Steve Martin, Rita Wilson, and Madeline Kahn. I’m talking about the kind that Planters dishes out. The nut company has been no stranger to wacky ads. Just last year they killed off Mr. Peanut, and had him rebirthed as a baby. Prior to that, Mr. Peanut was voiced by people like Robert Downey Jr. and Bill Hader. This Christmas though, they decided to go all-in…

If you’re reading this, you’ve presumably already seen the headline. Hell, that’s probably why you’re reading this to begin with. You see a headline about a woman on an airplane, breastfeeding a cat, and you can’t help but click, I don’t blame you. What even goes through your head when you stumble across something like that? Do you think about how society is doomed? Do you think about what the feeling of a cat’s sharp teeth biting into a nipple might feel like? Or does everything just seem to collapse in on itself and feel like all and nothing simultaneously?…

It’s a Christmas gift that’s almost too good to be true, but for one lucky person, it will be a dream come to life. As a means of promoting the “Home Alone” remake “Home Sweet, Home Alone” the McAllister home in Chicago, Illinois is available to rent on Airbnb. The property is open for only one night, but the best part about it all is the rental will only cost you $25.00. The actual house used in the John Hughes and Chris Columbus Christmas classic, is located in Winnetka, Illinois and was privately owned at the time of making “Home…

When you think of Canada, what do you think of? Hockey? Gordon Lightfoot and his brilliant epic, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?” Maybe you think about Canada’s greatest son Bryan Adams, or Ryan Reynolds. Or maybe you’re a more normal person and think about maple syrup. If you are one of those people, you’d be very much in the right as the idea of Canada being attached to the maple syrup industry isn’t just a stereotype, it’s very much true. It’s so true in fact that Canada actually has a strategic reserve of maple syrup… and it’s about to…
