We’re no strangers to the fast paced world of collecting. Sealing, slabbing, and rating of comics and other collectibles is something we love to cover, especially when it’s something rare like a 9.0 Action Comics #1. But sometimes, an item crosses our desk that we’re left scratching our heads about. Like this sealed and rated 9.0 NES Legend of Zelda cartridge Heritage Auctions has. Bidding is still going, so we expect the $87,500 number to continue to go up. Heritage Auctions’ listing for this item reads: A True Grail Among Games The Legend of Zelda – Wata 9.0 A Sealed…

We’re deep into grill and cookout season. Summer is rolling right along, and with the reopening of most states well underway, we have to assume some family and friend BBQs are on the way. Corn on the cob is a staple of these al fresco cooking and dining experiences, and with it comes the age old question: what can I do to butter this cob easier?Enter this very strange and mostly obscene ‘invention,’ The Cob Quickly. Yeah ok so it’s not REAL, but it’s pretty hilarious. If you are looking for something to help with buttering YOUR cob *giggity*, check…

The Space Siblings brought together by George Lucas in 1977 bonded. We all know this. All you have to do is watch early interview footage of “Star Wars” icons Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher to see that. A special friendship, a special love. Just last week, it was announced that at long last, Fisher would be granted one of the ultimate Hollywood honors- a star with her name on it along the storied Walk of Fame. Shortly after her death in 2016, Hamill lead the charge to get her fast tracked for a star. The process is long and complicated,…

Thank you to Universal Studios for bringing filmmaker Nia DaCosta’s message for Juneteenth to the public. If you’ll recall, DaCosta co-wrote and is directing the much anticipated “Candyman” reboot, which is due out later this year. Here’s what Universal had to say about DaCosta’s Juneteenth message, which you can watch in its entirety below: CANDYMAN Director, Nia DaCosta’s Message on Juneteenth Juneteenth is a day that has historically recognized the perseverance and power of the Black community. Over the last two years, taking time to recognize and reflect on this holiday has only gained added significance. Black art, and Black…

We’re getting more and more excited for season 2 of Netflix’s “The Witcher,” and apparently we’re not the only ones? This morning, series star Henry Cavill shared a short (seriously, it’s only 9 seconds long) video teasing Geralt of Rivia’s new look for the sophomore season.Sorta a blink and you’ll miss it kind of situation, but, it’s new! Netflix announced a partnership with “The Witcher” game developer CD Projekt Red, including a convention all about the franchise coming in July. While we don’t know a whole lot about WitcherCon yet, it sure sounds promising. We’ll let you know when we…

Another day, another notable expert in Batman lore weighs in on the current Dark Knight debate. If you’ll recall, earlier this week the internet lit their own batsignal after it was revealed someone at Warner Bros. Animation requested a certain scene be removed from HBO Max’s adult-oriented “Harley Quinn” animated series. Specifically, a scene that reportedly would have shown (or implied, no one is really sure) that Batman and Catwoman, consenting adults, would engage in certain bedroom activities. That sounds fine on the surface, right? A couple with an 80-year relationship history, albeit a couple who run around in footie…

Who knew that “The Flash” director Andy Muschietti would be the best source of information about his upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures DCEU film? Just recently, he revealed the updated costume and logo for title hero The Flash, who will once again be played by Ezra Miller. And just this morning, he did the same for Supergirl, who will be played by Sasha Calle in the film! We know that filming is underway currently, so additional updates will more than likely be coming soon.”The Flash” has a current release date of November 4th, 2022.

We’ve all thought about the possibility of a Marvel, DC crossover movie. We’ve joked about it for years, we’ve dreamed about how such a thing would look in a live-action film. But would it ever really happen?James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Suicide Squad”) knows a thing or two about both comic book cinematic universes. Recently, the filmmaker fielded a question via Twitter (seriously, bless him for taking the time out of his days to do this as often as he does) about the subject of a crossover. “I’ve casually talked to the powers-that-be at both Marvel & DC…

Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” will have it’s world premiere during the Venice Film Festival this September. Shai Hulud.

We are very, VERY pleased to report that at long last, our dearly departed Princess General Carrie Fisher and legendary actor James Hong will be honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They will be joined by an incredibly impressive group of honorees in the 2022 season. If you’ll recall, shortly after Fisher’s passing, Mark Hamill lead the charge to get her fast tracked for the process. (Which, honestly, absolutely is a process in every sense of the word) He even joked(???) about replacing Donald Trump’s star, which was continually being defaced and destroyed, with Fisher’s. Also, back…
