Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

Lots of companies are getting in on the celebration, Universal Studios parks have all new menus, merchandise, and even a meet and greet with Chief Brody and Captain Quint himself! But one of our favorite things (so far) has to be this adorable Orca set from TUBBZ. The Orca (complete with yellow barrels!) comes with four additional rubber ducks in the guise of Chief Brody, Captain Quint, Hooper, and even Bruce! Perhaps the best…
We are very sad to report the passing of celebrity chef and television personality, Chef Anne Burrell.

Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal,” Burrell’s family said in a statement.

This just in- the legendary Mel Brooks will return as one of his most beloved characters for a sequel to one of his most beloved works. No, it’s not “Young Frankenstein” (my personal favorite), nor “Blazing Saddles.” Instead, it’s the long foretold sequel to “Spaceballs!” While we don’t know if “The Search for More Money” will actually be the title, we do know Brooks will once again play Yogurt. Perhaps the the most EXCITING bit of rumored news is the return of both Bill Pullman AND *drumroll please* Rick Moranis as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet, respectively. Moranis famously retired…
In what some have recently described as the darkest timeline, it’s hard to imagine knowingly removing one of the few bright points. Sadly, it happens. While we may never know the reasoning behind the choice, we are torn to report our next bit of news. Paramount+ has decided to give “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” one more season, but, sadly, it will be their last. As I say in situations like this, it’s always better for the creative team, the cast, the crew, to KNOW going in that the end is ahead. So many series don’t get that chance, and…
