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.
We really like this replacement, not gonna lie. According to the usual suspects (Deadline and the like), Mads Mikkelsen is reportedly in talks to replace Johnny Depp in Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming “Fantastic Beasts 3” as the villainous wizard Grindelwald. We’ll let you know what we hear about this possible casting news.
We are so pleased to share the news that Netflix has indeed renewed “The Umbrella Academy” for a third season! Obviously we don’t really know what season 3 of “The Umbrella Academy” will be about, or how current conditions might get better enough for the production to begin in February 2021, but we’re optimistic. Seasons 1 and 2 of the series, based on the comics written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, are available to stream, only on Netflix.
Sure, Baby Yoda from “The Mandalorian” is cute and all until it starts trying to eat ALL the eggs of the last familial line of a frog species traveling with them. Something that Funko (and, we guess) Disney decided would make the PERFECT edition to the Pop Vinyl collection. If you haven’t caught up on Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” season 2, episode 2, “Chapter 10,” then none of this makes sense, and maybe find something else to read until you’ve seen the Peyton Reed (“Ant-Man,” “Ant-Man and The Wasp”) directed episode. If you’re still here, enjoyed the episode and the…
We are very pleased to report that DC Comics has named yet-another-woman to one of the highest office available within their organization, tapping Marie Javins to Editor-In-Chief. This is a historic moment for the comics house, and one we are glad to see.

Yes, we know that headline is a little long, what with all the OBE titles the probable greatest collection of living thespians has. But One Knight Only really does warrant such grandiose language. Dame Judi Dench, Sir Derek Jacobi, Sir Ian McKellen, and Dame Maggie Smith will be participating in a live zoom conversation with Sir Kenneth Branagh, and that’s just too much awesome in one place. Organized by Lockdown Theatre, the event is to aid theatrical charity Acting for Others. There will be questions from the audience!Event producer Rob Grant said: “We began this initiative when Robert Lindsay suggested…
We really love covering notable memorabilia auctions from the big houses like Profiles In History, Prop Block, Heritage, and Julien’s Auction House. The latter of these has a new auction coming up next month, and as per usual- some items of note are listed in their Icons & Idols Trilogy: Hollywood event in December. There are items like Tom Cruise’s original “Top Gun” production-used hero Maverick flight helmet from the late Tony Scott’s seminal 1986 Paramount Film, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infamous leather jacket from 1984’s The Terminator, and perhaps the most timely item- Sir Sean Connery’s signature Walther PP prop pistol…
We are so very sad to share the news that “Jeopardy” host and longtime tv personality Alex Trebek has unfortunately lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. He passed away early Sunday morning at home, surrounded by family and friends. Trebek had been publicly battling the illness since 2019, and had been very public about the struggle. Ryan Reynolds just shared this tidbit about Trebek having a cameo in the film “Free Guy.” He was 80 years old, and we will no doubt not see his like on television again. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans the…
Elon Musk- madman, genius, or James Bond villain- is adding yet another item under the Tesla brand, branching into the liquor industry with Tesla Tequila. If you’ll recall, back in 2018, Musk ‘joked’ about a Tequila with the electric motor company’s name on it, posting this mockup. And of course now, he’s taken it all the way by announcing, releasing, and selling out of this AMAZING BOTTLE. Introducing Tesla Tequila, an exclusive, premium 100% de agave tequila añejo aged in French oak barrels, featuring a dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish Unfortunately for us,…
This just in- Johnny Depp has resigned from the Warner Bros. Pictures “Harry Potter” adjacent film series “Fantastic Beasts,” following the studio’s request he do so. This news comes after a court in the UK found in favor of tabloid The Sun after Depp sued them for libel and slander after the outlet referred to Depp as a “wifebeater” (in the case of Amber Heard’s accusations that Depp beat her repeatedly) without the words “allegedly” or “reportedly.” Depp posted to his Instagram: In light of recent events, I would like to make the following short statement.Firstly, I’d like to thank…
