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.
Every so often, one image can really reignite the urge to cosplay. That’s exactly what we’re feeling browsing through Lucas Werneck’s new gallery. Featuring Marvel Comics staple characters from across the X-Men titles, these slick new uniforms are begging to be recreated in real life. Like, how great is Storm? AMAZING.Make sure you check out Werneck’s other artwork, too. Anyone else think Magneto looks JUST LIKE Jeff Bridges?! And obviously, Wolverine sure looks like Jason Momoa.
If you grew up in the 90s, chances are you have a passing knowledge of who Carmen Sandiego is. Once celebrated as a highly informational and ahead of its time kid-centric game show / scripted series, PBS’s “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?” absolutely holds up.Defunctland takes an in depth look at the mysterious hat wearing character, her various series, and the franchise’s impact. Also, if you have some hours to spend, watch EVERYTHING on Defunctland’s YouTube channel. Seriously .

Other notable Paramount titles moving include…
We’re not proud of admitting we kinda forgot a new live-action “G.I. Joe” film was on the horizon. This is not the fault of the studio or anything. It’s more….we’ve forgotten about almost all planned theatrical releases. Except for “Dune.” Because….Shai Hulud. ANYHOW, just this morning, Paramount Pictures reshuffled almost all of their planned releases for the next two years (again), including a new date for “G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.” Oddly enough, the push makes sense? Robert Schwentke (“Divergent”) is directing. Henry Golding (“Crazy Rich Asians”) stars as Snake Eyes, Andrew Koji (Cinemax’s “Warrior”) will play Snake Eyes’ rival Storm Shadow,…
This just in- it would appear that the upcoming 5th installment of “Indiana Jones” starring Harrison Ford may have “Fleabag’s” Phoebe Waller-Bridge. We just need to take a minute to image what that would look like, how the pair would interact together. AND, perhaps the most exciting news, Maestro John Williams will be scoring the film. Perhaps the best part of this would be Waller-Bridge’s connection to Ford’s iconic “Star Wars” hero Han Solo. Waller-Bridge played L3-37, a witty droid who was Lando Calrissian’s (Donald Glover) best “friend” in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” L3 did not survive physically, but her…

Thank you, so very much to whomever at Marvel Studios and Disney+ decided to release this video. If you’re not caught up on the most recent episode of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” chances are you missed this gem of a scene. Daniel Brühl, back as Baron Helmut Zemo, joins Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes on a mission. Not just ANY mission either, but one that sees the trio visiting a club in Madripoor. Please enjoy this hour-long video of nothing but Zemo dancing. We’re pretty sure this is what we’ll all look…
E3 2021 will be virtual, and we’re pretty excited to see all the latest in video games during the June 12th-15th 2021 event.
Bless Jimmy Fallon for fulfilling our childhood dream too- playing N64 “Goldeneye 007” with Pierce Brosnan!
