Let’s face it, for as many strides as the LGBT+ community has made in terms of representation in media, there are some places where that progress has met heavy resistance. Look no further than what’s been happening with Disney lately. The media juggernaut seriously dropped the ball in response to controversial Florida legislation involving sexual preference and gender identity in schools. They’ve also taken to cutting content out of their films that feature same-sex relationships. To that end at least, a victory was achieved for the upcoming film, “Lightyear.” Being a spin-off to the much beloved “Toy Story” franchise, “Lightyear”…

Cover songs, we know them, we love them, or we hate them. Some of the most popular songs of all times are actually cover versions of previously recorded numbers. The Whitney Houston hit “I Will Always Love You” for example is a Dolly Parton original. The beloved song “Hallelujah” that Jeff Buckley made famous was originally by Leonard Cohen. The list goes on of course, but we’re not here today to talk about covers you know. Today’s subject is looking at ten of the most bizarre covers, good or bad, that you are ever likely to hear. So grab a…

Its been a long six and a half years since we’ve last seen the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad went on a number of misadventures over 15 years from 2000 – 2015 on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block. But after all those episodes (and a feature film) under their belts, they eventually called it quits… until now! In preparation for a new movie starring the fast food fighting force, the Adult Swim YouTube channel is releasing a series of shorts called “Aquadonk Side Pieces.” About a year ago, we reported about Cartoon Network’s decision to revive…

The history of films based on video games is not a very happy or profitable one. Despite Hollywood’s many attempts to capitalize on the potential of this crossover market, it has miserably failed more often than not. For every success like the first “Mortal Kombat,” you have three times as many failures including “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation,” “Monster Hunter,” and “Max Payne.” The last few years though have seen a bump up in success though, thanks to “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” “Rampage,” and “Sonic the Hedgehog” along with its sequel. So, in Hollywood, why not keep tapping that well with more and…

Dog drool isn’t as clean as we thought according to a new study.

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…
