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.
Remember how excited we were around Halloween 2020 when Danny Elfman surprised us all by dropping his first new single in….36 years?? The iconic (and prolific) composer and former Oingo Boingo frontman just released yet another song, with an accompanying music video. Titled “Sorry,” the new video features art by Jesse Kanda, and art direction by Berit Gilma.Watch the Halloween release here, and “Sorry” below:
We are even more cautiously optimistic about CBS’s upcoming “Silence of the Lambs” spinoff tv series, “Clarice.” Focusing on the life of Agent Clarice Starling a year after the Buffalo Bill case, the series aims to dive into the background of the iconic Thomas Harris literary character brought to life in the Oscar-winning portrayal by Jodie Foster in Jonathan Demme’s 1991 film. CBS’s “Clarice” stars Rebecca Breeds as Clarice Starling, Michael Cudlitz as Paul Krendler, Lucca de Oliveira as Tomas Esquivel, Kal Penn as Shaan Tripathi, Nick Sandow as Agent Clarke, Devyn Tyler as Ardelia Mapp, and Marnee Carpenter as Catherine Martin.…
We have been looking forward to this documentary about the late great Pat Morita since it was announced, and we are very happy to share the official trailer for “More Than Miyagi” with you.Directed by Kevin Derek, “More Than Miyagi” takes a deep look into Morita’s life. The doc features appearances by Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Martin Kove, Henry Winkler, James Hong, Sean Kanan, Marion Ross, Esai Morales, Tommy Chong, Don Most, Anson Williams and more. The Oscar-nominated actor best known for his role of “Mr. Miyagi,” left behind a painfully revealing autobiographical record of his much-too-brief time here on Earth, tracing his journey from being bed-bound…
If there’s one thing we love here at Nerdbot, it’s amazing fan-made things. Like this pretty darn awesome LEGO “The Mandalorian” stop-motion short made by forestfire101.Seriously. It looks good enough to have been done by Disney and LucasFilm, like the 2020 “Star Wars LEGO Holiday Special” released on Disney+. It also makes us wanna pick up our own LEGO Razor Crest (RIP), Baby Yoda aka Grogu, and other “Star Wars” sets. Check it out:
Fans the world over are still in a state of shock after the passing of Chadwick Boseman. The highly acclaimed actor passed away in September of 2020 after losing his battle with cancer, a fight which was kept as a very closely guarded secret. A question soon arose about whether or not the already-announced Marvel Studios “Black Panther” sequel would possibly recast Chadwick’s role as King T’Challa following Boseman’s death. How would Disney and Marvel Studios handle such a loss? Would they go full “Star Wars,” and CGI skin their star, or repurpose unused footage to tell the next chapter…
Sounds like fans of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth needn’t worry about the state of their red and black clad antihero joining the Disney side of Marvel. If you’ll recall, with the wholesale purchase of Fox and it’s holdings, Disney also brought home the majority (minus Spider-Man and a few others) of the Marvel Comics characters, and plans to include them in future Marvel Cinematic Universe releases. Like “Deadpool 3,” apparently. Following yesterday’s press day for Disney+ MCU series “WandaVison,” there were assurances given by Kevin Feige that not only will “Deadpool 3” fix directly into the…

Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are reportedly reprising their signature roles as Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda.Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones on the show, will not be returning.

We have to say, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has come a long way in his willingness to speak out against his own political party. He has always been very vocal about his feelings for the current sitting president, and in a new video released this morning, compares much of the current term to some pretty heavy stuff from his home country’s past. Schwarzenegger compares the traitorous U.S. Capitol Building insurrection this past week to the Nazi assault of Kristallnacht in 1938 Germany. He calls calls Trump a failed leader, and mixes no words about what happened being a failed…
We do NOT advocate doxxing, so please don’t take it that our coverage of something a well-known actor has done as support. That said- the phone number of Ted Cruz that “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal tweeted is actually his direct senate line. The Senator from Texas, like all publicly-elected lawmakers, has a phone number with an answering service attached to it so constituents can let their opinions be known.This apparently stems from a Twitter spat between the two, steming from Cruz’s tweet about not liking Pascal’s performance in “Wonder Woman 1984.” And, you know, the insurrection Cruz helped fuel…
If there’s one thing we certainly can’t discount in 2021, it’s the rising of some of those delightfully chaotic elder gods and possibly even Cthulhu. Imagine the octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind showing up at your house for a dinner party. If you invite an elder god to dinner, he’s gonna need some souls to munch on. But also, a pretty bitchin’ candelabra to honor him. Like one of these ones? Order that one here. This guy is slightly more “20,000 Leagues…
