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.
Fans of Disney Pixar’s “Soul” might be interested to know that there is a virtual jazz concert! Featuring Jon Batiste, one of the three Oscar nominated geniuses behind the fabulous score for the film, the concert is free, and it’s happening right now.
It’s been awhile since we’ve had any definitive updates about that “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum” game from Daedalic. Earlier today, a brand new video tease of the title was released, and it looks pretty great! If you’ll recall, Daedalic CEO Carsten Fichtelmann told PC Gamer in 2019 a little about the game: “We’re concentrating on the character of Gollum, and we’re telling his story before we learn about what happens to him in the books. We’re looking for ways to tell stories that haven’t been shown in the movies. We’ll tell the story of a character we’re familiar with, but not…

While the Happiest Place On Earth still isn’t fully reopened for guests yet, it sounds like Disneyland is planning a third theme park!

We want to start by saying we adore the idea of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” writer Gary Whitta helming a sequel for “The Last Starfighter.” How freaking PERFECT would that be? The answer- VERY. Earlier today, Whitta shared his concept pitch for the project on a Twitch stream on his channel. “What I can tell you… is that we are, I believe, very, very close. Closer than anyone has ever been to making a new Last Starfighter movie, like right on the one yard line. After pushing the boulder uphill for many years we are very, very close.…
We are so very sad to report the news that Jessica Walter, star of such iconic comedy series as “Arrested Development” and hit animated series “Archer,” has passed away. Walter’s daughter, Brooke Bowman, confirmed the news of her mother’s passing in a statement. “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of my beloved mom Jessica. A working actor for over six decades, her greatest pleasure was bringing joy to others through her storytelling both on screen and off. While her legacy will live on through her body of work, she will also be remembered by many…
Before we start throwing deserved shade at 2005’s “Bewitched” movie starring Will Farrell and Nicole Kidman, hear us out. Sure, there were some pretty awful parts of it, but a lot of it worked. If the script did away with the notion of actors doing a 1960’s sitcom revival film and just let them play the parts, it would have been wonderful. Shirley McClane as Endora (Agnes Morehead), Steve Carell as Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde), just leave it there, and don’t force a storyline that no one cares about. Ok, all that said- Sony Pictures is actively working on a…
Remember earlier this year when a special Super Bowl commercial delighted us all with a “Gremlins” throwback? Featuring Zach Galligan as Billy, and Howie Mandel as the voice of mogwai Gizmo, the fuzzy creature breaks a cardinal rule and has a sip of Mountain Dew Zero. To continue this thread, Mountain Dew announced that a Gizmo figure, based on the version we see in the commercial, is available for fans to purchase. “Retailing for $300, the Gizmo collectible arrives in a vacuum sealed bag and DEW display case, making it easy for fans to follow the three rules: Do not…
We’re gonna start by saying we absolutely LOVE “Gargoyles.” We also really adore anything NECA Toys produces. So, when NECA teases us with something like this stone by day, warrior by night Goliath figure, we’ve got to talk about it.Sadly, there really isn’t any information about this yet. The only thing we have to go on, is this tweet from NECA. So…..we’ll let you know what we find out about this.”Gargoyles” is currently available to stream on Disney+. UPDATE This morning, we were updated on this product! There is now a listing on BigBadToyStore for this figure, and some additional…
We are delighted to report that former 007 Pierce Brosnan is joining Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in “Black Adam.” DC Comics character Dr. Fate is the son of an archeologist who was taught sorcery skills and given the magical (and golden) Helmet of Fate. He also happens to be one of the oldest DC Comics characters, dating all the way back to 1940. He was created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman. “Black Adam” is shaping up to be an interesting film indeed. Along with Johnson in the title role of Black Adam and Brosnan as Dr. Fate, the film…
