This is one of our favorite Hollywood stories. Back in 2020 a photo album was discovered in a Belgian thrift store called Opnieuw & Co in Mortsel. It was a very unassuming pink, floral album on the outside, but inside it contained a treasure trove of Hollywood history, featuring photos of numerous cinematic icons such as Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts, William Shatner, and Harrison Ford, all pictured next to a sweet middle-aged woman with curly two-toned hair, smiling and embracing the stars . And…

I'm not saying I have a strange sense of humor, but everyone around me definitely says that—a lot! Some things just make me laugh, and I can't really explain why. It's not that I don't know what's funny about them; it's just too hard to explain to a normal person. I would have to explain two, or maybe three different fandoms , and then draw the connection between each of them to explain why an image is funny. By that point, it's not funny anymore. I've always been like that. My friends would te…

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On the one hand, I love that I can attend work meetings from home in my underwear (with a nice shirt on, of course). It's convenient, saves time, and means I don't have to drive to the office every time the boss shares news that could have been an email. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like all we do now is Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting. It's kind of insane how much time we spend on Zoom calls . However, one way to make these meetings more fun…

Are we on the same wavelength? Because I feel like we are. I feel like I can post a random picture of an outdoor grill shaped like Bender from Futurama, with his hand functioning as a beer holder, and you'll understand why it makes me smile. Or why a guy playing Minecraft on the self-checkout at the supermarket is actually funnier than if he was playing Doom. You get me, right? Sometimes I wonder if I just have a strange sense of humor or if there are others who also find this weird, geeky blen…

Every movie, TV show, and story we love has its archetypes—the heroic adventurer, the grumpy anti-hero, the Idiot dad. These characters are so familiar, so generic, yet they keep us coming back for more. Sometimes, all it takes is a creative genius like Alex Solis to show us the connections we never noticed, revealing what should have been obvious all along. In his brilliant series, Solis imagines our favorite pop-culture icons unmasking themselves to reveal their hidden true identities. From C…

I'm a simple man. I see a tiny turtle with a pair of tiny katanas on its back, and I smile . I see a door stopper shaped like Hodor, and I laugh (and also cry a little). When some guys form a band where they dress up like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Smoke, and Reptile, I get a little happier. It's the small, nerdy things in life that make my day just a bit brighter . Whether it's a clever pop culture reference or an adorable homage to my favorite characters, these little moments of geeky joy bring a sm…
