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.

About time Sponge Bob’s bestest bud gets his moment in the spotlight! According to a report, a Bill Fagerbakke-voiced Patrick Star centric animated series is coming to Nickelodeon. “The Patrick Star Show” would, according to the report from Variety, be sort of a throwback to “The Larry Sanders Show,” with Patrick hosting his own late night talk show. Fagerbakke reportedly has already been recording for the show. This spinoff would join SpongeBob prequel animated series “Kamp Koral” in the announced SpongeBob universe teased by Nickelodeon president Brian Robbin last year. Although “Kamp Koral” is actually headed to CBS All Access…
We are so pleased to share the news that Adria Arjona (“Good Omens,” “Emerald City”) has reportedly joined Disney+ live action “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” spinoff series about Cassian Andor. Perhaps you’d remember Arjona from her role as Dorthy Gale in NBC’s shortlived “Emerald City” series, or from FOX’s “The Gifted” X-Men series, OR as Anathema Device from BBC and Hulu’s “Good Omens,” OR “Pacific Rim: Uprising,” you get the point. She’ll be joining “Rogue One” star Diego Luna in the “Star Wars” spinoff series, along with Alan Tudyk returning as droid K2SO. Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, Genevieve…
We knew it was likely to happen eventually- Disney has officially rebranded 20th Century Fox Television to 20th Television, dropping the ‘FOX’ moniker following the terms and stipulations of the original purchase and merger. We’re also getting ABC Signature, which used to be both ABC Studios and ABC Signature.FOX 21 Television Studios has become Touchstone Television.A report from Variety states that the full rebranding might not roll out entirely until late 2020, early 2021.
Who woulda ever thought we’d be getting a “MacGruber” television series? Probably Will Forte, to be honest. Maybe Lorne Michaels. We digress- Just this morning, NBC’s streaming service Peacock announced a whole mess o series and projects they’re working on, and “MacGruber” is one of the titles. “After rotting in prison for over a decade, America’s ultimate hero and uber patriot MacGruber is finally released. His mission: to take down a mysterious villain from his past: Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth. With the entire world in the crosshairs, MacGruber must race against time to defeat the forces of evil — only…
We almost had a “The Flash” stand alone movie written by comics mainstay Grant Morrison, and the film’s star, Ezra Miller. If you’ll recall, there were some…differing opinions on what the state of the future of Warner Bros. Pictures DC Comics slate of films should be. Originally, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were tapped to write the script for a stand alone film about the fastest man on earth, starring Miller. Reports had this project as a more “light hearted” take than the previous films in the DCEU (sound familiar?) with more of the humor we saw from Barry…
Ok, there is part of this report that we’re marginally sure of; Walt Disney Studios have apparently tapped director Garth Davis to tackle the much-delayed “Tron 3” film. And, if you believe sourceless stories from various outlets- that Oscar winner Jared Leto will star. We say sourceless, because Deadline (who we won’t link to because reasons) has a story this morning stating this as a done deal, but without any source or actual….you know, proof? We do think the Davis news is likely, though. If you’ll recall, back in 2017, Leto’s name was already being rumored with a possible third…
We noticed last night that the USPS official website is no longer allowing the tracking of packages. Glitch, or something else?
If you didn’t know, Jack Black loves to play video games. This isn’t so strange really, when you think about it. He even has a YouTube channel dedicated to his love of the entertainment art form, which he’s brought back to life after an extended absense. The first game he tackles? Double Fine Production’s highly anticipated “Psychonauts 2.” “In Psychonauts 2, Raz realizes his dream and visits Psychonauts Headquarters,” the game’s official website states. “However, when he gets there, he finds it’s not the perfect place he expected and quickly realizes that the Psychonauts need him more than he needs them.”…
