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.

We felt it important to clear up some misunderstandings. According to several outlets, the legendary actor Michael Caine announced his retirement from acting. This is NOT the case, as a statement from Caine’s agent made clear later in the day.

Caine was describing his newest project, “Best Sellers,” in which he co-starts with Aubrey Plaza. “Funnily enough, it has turned out to be what is my last part really,” Caine said. “Because I haven’t worked for…

Because this Chris Columbus, John Hughes holiday classic apparently needed a reboot, Disney+ has released the first trailer for “Home Sweet Home Alone.” We’re…really not sure how we feel about it, especially after seeing this video. The official synopsis from Disney+ for the film reads:”Max Mercer is a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays. So when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers…and he will do whatever…
One of the things we do look forward to every year are the companies who roll out Halloween-themed goodies.

Let’s take a closer look, shall we? Bewitched Broomstick – A Kreme™ filled doughnut dipped in purple icing, decorated with an icing swirl and gold stars, and finished with a green…
This just in-it looks like Will Poulter will be taking on the iconic Marvel Comics role of Adam Warlock in the upcoming film “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” If you’ll recall, the character was teased in the post-credits scene in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” as the ‘child’ of the golden Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki). Could this be the reason Poulter pulled out of Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings” series? Possibly.Lights, Camera, Podcast got to chat with the actor in a recent episode, which they just so happened to publish today. Check that out here. We know…
