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.
Not that we’ve been eating at Subway in recent years, but a recently filled lawsuit in Northern California alleges that sandwich chain Subway has been lying about a popular lunch offering. Specifically, their signature tuna, may not contain actual tuna? The complaint, filed this morning, claims that multiple samples taken from Subway tuna sandwich filling indicated a complete lack of not only tuna, but fish. The independent lab results were not revealed publicly. This is pretty disturbing, right? Like….if there’s NO FREAKING FISH in a “tuna sandwich,” what the hell is it?The initial report was published by the Washington Post,…
This just in-G4 is coming back, and they are TOTALLY bringing some favorites with them! In a new video just posted by the official Twitter account of G4, an old tv plays familiar audio clips before the logo for “X-Play” and “Attack Of The Show” appear! Back in the summer of 2020, a surprise return of the nerd-centric defunct cable channel G4 was teased with a placeholder announcement. Word quickly spread that the fandom-driven entertainment network was slowly coming back to life, and looking to enlist new (and returning) talent for an upcoming launch.There was the #G4NeedsTalent hashtag, where hopefuls…
Bless Gillian Anderson for always being amazing, and never disappointing. During her recent stop by “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the Emmy-winning actress shared the most adorable video with her cast mates from Netflix’s “The Crown.” That sounds pretty normal, right? Just a behind-the-scenes video featuring the cast as the royal family in full costume doing normal things? But you probably weren’t expecting to see them do a choreographed dance to Lizzo’s “Good As Hell,” which is exactly what happened. How cute is “Outlander” star Tobias Menzies back there totally feeling himself in full Prince Phillip regalia? Seasons 1-4 of…
This is absolutely terrifying and hilarious at the same time, but imagine, just for a second, that every single prehistoric creature in Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking “Jurassic Park” has been replaced with Pee-wee Herman, as played by Paul Rubens. Seriously. It’s pretty great.Enter “Pee-Wee Park,” a deepfake video from Pixel Riot, which is not only well-done, but the perfect escape for a Thursday afternoon.See Pee-wee as the clever girl raptor attacking Muldoon (Bob Peck), or the dilophosaurus that ends Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight). Check out “Pee-Wee Park” below:
If you ever got in trouble for quacking a teacher, chances are you were a 90s kid who crew up wanting to be on Coach Gordon Bombay’s award-winning peewee hockey team. The Disney live-action sports flick “The Mighty Ducks” remains a favorite; two sequels and one (very strange) animated series of the same name, and a NHL namesake team later, we’re getting a continuation of the story!Announced in 2020, “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” is a 10-episode single season series (for now, but maybe if it does well, they’ll order another?). It picks up in present day Minnesota, and yes-…
We are very happy to share the official cast with you for Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman!” Allan Heinberg (“Wonder Woman,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and David S. Goyer (“The Dark Knight, Man of Steel”) co-write the script, and will serve as executive producers, and Heinberg is showrunning. Gaiman offered a new quote about the news: “For the last thirty-three years, the Sandman characters have breathed and walked around and talked in my head. I’m unbelievably happy that now, finally, they get to step out of my head and into reality. I can’t wait until the people out there…
Look, we get that some companies want to get those seasonal ‘holiday’ dollars by making themed items they think’ll sell. BUT, this is where we draw the line. PINK Mac and Cheese?!Kraft, makers of iconic blue box macaroni and cheese, have just announced what they’ll be doing with their dinner for Valentines Day on February 14th- making it freaking pink.You’ll make your mac the normal way, but instead of the usual orangey yellow cheese power, you’ll add in a pink one which uses beetroot and carrot concentrates to make the rosy hue. The catch being that there will only be…
This is one of those reports everyone is running right now, but it is worth pointing out that HBO and HBO Max have NOT confirmed them, or offered any kind of statement yet. According to several of the big outlets, a possible adult-oriented animated “Game of Thrones” series may be in development at HBO for their streaming service, HBO Max. There is no real evidence to support this yet, other than THR being super, super sure it’s happening. This would actually be a great way to maybe tell some of the stories glossed over in the later seasons of “Game…
