If you don’t know Tenacious D, then shame on you. But you are bound to know Jack Black. Tenacious D is a Comedic Rock duo between Kyle Glass and Jack Black. That being said, go check them out now. If you are aware of the GLORY that is Tenacious D, then watch this terrible animation with its equally awful humor and get ready to laugh your arse off.

I've been critically reviewing fandoms and geek culture for eight years. After spending four years of college focusing on literary analysis, I now apply that passion to my hobbies and love for the geekdom.
Yup, that’s right! Your favorite must see Halloween film turned 25 years old this past July. (Why was it released in July? I have no idea.) Did you know that the public was not immediately receptive to the film, and has since then become a cult classic as a result? Luckily, now it seems that we cannot go a fall without seeing it at least twice! How many times do you watch Hocus Pocus each Fall?
A few months ago Blizzard fans found a bit of “evidence” pointing to the production of a Diablo series being picked up by Netflix. Recently tweeted but deleted from Hellboy writer Andrew Cosby: I guess I can confirm I am indeed in final talks to write and show-run the new DIABLO animated series for Activision and Netflix. It’s very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out. But the internet never forgets. Is this a confirmation that the Diablo series is indeed going to be picked up by Netflix? It’s looking pretty promising, and these information…
One of the first things I noticed when I became immersed in the world of Witcher was it’s lack of diversity- ethnically speaking. Despite the absolutely amazing story line, game play, and lovable characters, that was one detail that always stuck out to me. So imagine my delight when we find out that not only will there be a Netflix adaptation of the series, but a casting call for diversifying the source material, especially in the case of my favorite woman; Ciri! However, once again a diversity casting call is ever the issue. And, as always… instead of just admitting…
Since 1996 the Diablo game series has risen to become a beloved favorite for many a gamer. So before you get your hopes too high (or perhaps some pre-info rage) I should tell you that the rumors of a Diablo project being picked up by netflix are in the realm of just that: rumor. However, this rumor already has a writer attached to it. Andrew Cosby; who has writing attachments to Hellboy and the shows Eureka and Haunted. How we have so little information and yet such big news as writer involvement means that this project is highly under wraps…
Idris Elba has been the cry for a person of color Bond for quite some time now, making it to the top of many a fan cast list for the 007 role. The longing for Elba to play Bond became an internet sensation, exciting many and peeving others (gods forbid our favorite spy not be white). Beyond longing, many rumors swept through the fandom that Elba would indeed be taking the role. However, when asked by Good Morning Britain if he were to be our next Bond we got an immediate and blunt “No”. Now, Elba doesn’t strike me as…
Whether or not you were dreading or anticipating the arrival of the Suicide Squad sequel, it looks like production is coming to a halt as a series of delays pushes its release date further back. These delays seemed inevitable as Will Smith isn’t the only actor preoccupied with other roles; Robbie (Suicide Squad’s Harley) focuses on Birds of Prey. So what do we have to look forward to in order to get out much needed Will Smith fix? Turns out, it is not all bad news as this frees up Will Smith to complete bringing back his role as Detective…
Toxic Masculinity: the adherence to traditional male gender roles that restrict the kinds of emotions allowable for boys and men to express, including social expectations that men seek to be dominant (the “alpha male”) and limit their emotional range primarily to expressions of anger. Season 2 of Marvel’s Luke Cage on Netflix prescribes to just that. It takes a turn as we watch a completely different man arise through our bullet proof hero. Luke Cage’s unbridled aggression as he takes on the pressures of being the city’s hero (and embracing that role) escalates throughout the entire season. He blames these new pressures…
With the news of a new Buffy being released comes all the overwhelming responses along with it. We have the classic purists with the sentiment that it shouldn’t be touched at all. To match we have fans who have been waiting since 2003 to get their hands on more. In between we have those concerned about whether or not it is going to be the same story retold. Luckily showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen made a statement that helped give all of us who are waiting anxiously some context in one of her verified tweets: For some genre writers it’s Star Wars. Buffy…
The term “Neopets” ring a bell? I’m sure it does, and I know you’ve played it! However, if there is any chance that you are unfamiliar with Neopets, it was an incredibly popular online game in which you could create digital pets and explore a virtual world. It included puzzle games and other mini games as well as some limited features that allowed you to connect with other players. You could collect neopoints or buy neocash in order to customize and care for your neopet. In short: it was awesome! Upon hearing the news of Neopets launching a mobile app, nostalgia hit…
