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. Ever since then he's been engrossed in way too much media with a growing collection of music, books, comics, TV on DVD box sets, and a video game collection that could rival a brick and mortar store.

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.

Back in March, the “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” was delayed indefinitely. At the time, there was no a new release date. There was plenty of speculation as to why. A lackluster gameplay reveal trailer being the suspected cause. But now, we have a NEW release date, with continued speculation given the length of this delay. If you were hoping you’d be able to get to play Rocksteady’s newest title this year, you’ll be disappointed. “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” is now slated for February 2nd, 2024. Even if you’re not super savvy about video games and development,…

David’s Bridal, a store which focuses on formal wear for bridal events and proms, is struggling mightily. In the midst of continuing financial difficulties, one of the largest bridal store chains in the country is reportedly contemplating thousands of layoffs. This isn’t the first time that the chain has had problems. David’s Bridal filed for bankruptcy in 2018, emerging a year later with new ownership. 2020’s COVID-19 pandemic severely hurt a number of businesses, including pretty much everything to do with weddings. Even with life returning to a relative normal, it has not been a “nice day to start again”…

Who doesn’t love a good period piece/spy thriller? Often times these stories are presented with British or American agents trying to uncover secret plots of government subterfuge. Thanks to more diversity in storytelling and production though, doors are opening up for other perspectives on this genre. Such is the case for HBO’s upcoming limited series, “The Sympathizer.” This tale of a North Vietnamese mole not only seems like a breath of creative energy for storytelling but also for acting, as it’s also going to afford Robert Downey Jr. the chance to play four different parts in the show. Also set…

Do you ever sit back some nights and wonder what U2 frontman Bono does between recording, touring, and writing books? Well what if we told you that in 1995, he and The Edge wrote the theme to 007 film “GoldenEye” sung by Tina Turner, you’d believe that, wouldn’t you? Of course you would, you can totally hear it in the melody the next time you listen to it. Well, in 2003 he contributed the artwork to a multi-media project of an adaptation of the famous Russian children’s musical tale, “Peter and the Wolf,” and now it’s coming to MAX.MAX, if…

It’s become all too familiar of a story in the age of streaming media; show gets the greenlight, gets critical acclaim, but not enough viewership to warrant production costs. It airs for one season, and is never heard from again. As the battle between streaming platforms has increased in intensity over the last couple years, you’d be hard pressed not to find a show this has happened to. But for Amazon Prime Video’s “A League of Their Own,” the story’s not quite over yet. While it’s not another season for the Rockford Peaches, they’re at least getting some extra innings.…

When “Super Mario Bros.” was introduced to the world in 1985, no one could’ve predicted how the game would permanently ingrain itself into popular culture. Here we are in 2023, and the characters from the gaming franchise have become household names. Millions upon millions of Mario games have been sold, and “The Super Mario Bros.” movie is currently setting box office records.

Since 2002, the Library of Congress selects a group of recordings to include in its National…

It seems like we have been reporting on “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” for years. Oh wait, we have. Of course, a lot has happened since 2019.

Aside from a couple of video game releases, “Gremlins 2: The New Batch” was the last full-on piece of Gremlins content we received and that was all the way back in 1990. This series is set decades…

Unless you were around in the early 90s, it’s hard to forget how big of a deal “Street Fighter II: The World Warrior” was. It was a smash hit in the arcades and was one of the biggest selling non-Nintendo published game for the SNES. Sega was clamoring for their own version, as was every other console and handheld at the time. The Capcom franchise is still performing strongly. Enough so the gaming publisher has sold development rights to Legendary Pictures for future film and television projects. This isn’t the first time Legendary has worked with a video game property…

Professional wrestling storylines tend to be filled with crazy twists and turns. Part of the appeal is the absurdity of it all and the feeling of not knowing where the writers will go with things. That being said, this real life storyline about the possible sale of the WWE is the craziest storyline of them all. Vince McMahon came back to the company with a potential sale, and it looks like he found a buyer in the form of Endeavor. And it only gets weirder from there. Endeavor has their hands in a few couple different businesses, one of them…

In April of 2023 it will have been 10 years since the passing of author and film critic, Roger Ebert. On April 2nd 2013, he made a post to his website titled “A Leave of Presence.” Describing it does not do it justice, but essentially Roger tells us that his battle with cancer has worsened, and he won’t be able to write as much as he wants to. He also won’t be able to see as many films as he’d like. Nevertheless, he tries to spin this in a positive light, stating that now he can focus on the movies…
