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 are sad to report the end of the line for The CW Berlantiverse series “Supergirl” with the upcoming 6th season airing sometime in 2021. Star Melissa Benoist took to her own social media to offer her feelings on the news. “To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless.She’s had that impact on me, too. She’s taught me strength I didn’t know I had, to find hope in the darkest of…

Disney clearly learned from their merchandising mistakes last year, not having enough items for their live-action “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian,” to keep up with demand. Usually one to learn from such things- this means we’re getting Mando Mondays to make up for it this October. Announced yesterday by way of a youtube video, we see some of the items likely to be revealed in the coming weeks. Watch the video here. Disney and Lucasfilm today announced “Mando Mondays,” an all-new global consumer products, games, and publishing program kicking off on October 26, that will debut goods inspired by the…

Earlier this year, we reported that the absolutely incredible life-sized almost fully-functional Gundam was nearing completion. The Japanese city of Yokohama even had a full shinto blessing ceremony for the giant robot.The Gundam has apparently entered the “testing mode,” which means we get videos of it walking!! We can’t think of a better thing to come online in 2020, because who knows what other fresh hell awaits us before the end of the year.

We are very sad to report the news that Netflix has opted not to go forward with any additional seasons of “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.” This isn’t necessarily a cancellation, as the incredible series had not been officially ordered for additional seasons. Lisa Henson, CEO & President The Jim Henson Company (and also Executive Producer on “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance”) said: “We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of ‘The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.’ We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of ‘The Dark Crystal’ saga concludes and…

It’s kind of like “Highlander,” with two giants of science fiction- Mark Hamill and Sir Patrick Steward. We’ve always wanted to see the two duke it out with baseball bats in a giant abandoned warehouse….but this isn’t really what we were expecting.Released just a few minutes ago, this Uber Eats ad has Hamill and Stewart facing off over how to pronounce the word tomato, and also a confusing turn of phrase (for Hamill). Hamill is armed with a baseball bat, Stewart carries a cricket bat. It’s absolutely adorable and the perfect thing to start this week of right.

We WISH we were making this up, but this is completely a real thing that happened in the city of Detroit. Some say he was just a good ol boy never meaning no harm. This person, no idea if it was a male or female driver, decided to reenact a fairly notable scene from the classic film “Blues Brothers” by attempting to jump his car over an opening draw bridge. Unconfirmed if he was wearing sunglasses, but it *was* dark. But- this is completely a REAL THING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.Watch the video here. The real MVP is the drawbridge operator,…

We’re not going to be seeing the fairly important Spacing Guild navigators in the upcoming Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures release of “Dune.” We’re a little taken aback by this declaration from artist, conceptual designer and Denis Villeneuve collaborator, Carlos Huante. Huante worked with Villeneuve on “Arrival,” and apparently did some early concept work for the sandworms in “Dune.” During a recent chat with Who’s Nick, he revealed that he isn’t sure if his work will be featured at all in the film.And, that Villeneuve will NOT have the Navigators as part of “Dune.” Here’s what Huante said about it: “Trust…
