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.

At long last, we have our first look at Amazon Prime’s upcoming epic fantasy series, “The Wheel of Time!” For a teaser, there is actually a LOT of shown.

We’ve gotta hand it to Netflix, the “Seinfeld” is coming news blasts are pretty hilarious. Treating the 9-season hit series like a brand new property in announcements is great. What the heck are we talking about?

Netflix will launch 180 episodes of a situational comedy called ‘Seinfeld,’ created by rising New York comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, who wrote for Saturday Night Live for a…

FINALLY, a trailer for “No Time To Die” that has some actual….plot teases? That’s not to say the previously released trailers have been bad, just slightly disappointing. True, the wait for the 25th James Bond film has been longer than anyone anticipated, but perhaps it’ll be worth it?This’ll be the final time Daniel Craig will portray 007. The one thing we do find less than ideal is the limited use of Lashana Lynch in this trailer. Seriously. What gives?

Okay, so, we’ve spoken about this very topic at length before. The incredible Sir Ian McKellen has even said he’d WANT to return to the role of Gandalf given the opportunity. What a gift he is.
