If you love sci-fi, fantasy, and horror (and between us, who doesn't?) and you grew up in the 80s or 90s, you probably already know about Heavy Metal Magazine, one of the most influential comic magazines of all time. This magazine featured several very distinct stories in each issue - each story presenting a unique art style in a completely different genre . I used to collect these Issues and had an entire section in my comic book collection dedicated to this wonderful magazine. One of the grea…

Meme-vengers... Assemble!

I sometimes think about the information that is stored in my Brain and how it's about 85% movie quotes and useless trivia about pop culture. If you asked me what my social security number was or what I had for breakfast I Would just stand there, staring at you for a good minute until I give up and declare that I have no idea. But for some reason , I know that Gandalf's horse is called Shadowfax and that the planet in the alien movie is called lv-426. Why? Why would my Brain decide to store that…

This listicle features some the most timeless and iconic movie posters in movie history, and they were all illustrated by one man - Drew Struzan. Now, I'll be honest with you, I never actually given any real thought as to who actually made all these movie posters, simply because I took them for granted. It made sense that awesome movies have awesome posters. I guess I just figured that the studios reach out to several different artists and end up picking the best one and that there was an agree…

Being witty is better than being correct.

I knew all those years of watching TV endlessly and reading Sci-fi books would pay off! All that time I spent reading obscure lord of the Rings facts and watching YouTube deep dives into the intricate history of the Star Wars Universe. Hours upon hours spent in unknown reddit threads, reading overly detailed fan theories and searching through endless Facebook discussions, cramming each piece of useless information into my rotting mind have finally paid off - I got the obscure reference behind t…

You have a weird sense of humor—FALSE! The jokes and memes you like are objectively funny; they just require prior knowledge of certain pop culture cornerstones that not everyone possesses. While other people's interests and references are based on current world events and mainstream celebrity culture, yours are more obscure and specific. One might even say, more sophisticated. Don't get me wrong, it's still super silly and immature, but it's built on a much more intelligent foundation . For in…

For too long have the nerds been divided. Each guarding their fandom as if it were a precious Arkenstone, each gatekeeping their lore for fear of contaminating it with non-canon events. For too long have the geeks had to fight each other on the battleground of TV quotes and movie references, each trying to hoard their memes in the safety of their own subreddits. But I say no more! Unite, my fellow Nerds and Geeks, My fellow dorks and dweebs! Unite under one banner - the banner of crossover meme…

We get it, you don't like AI, you don't trust it, and you think it's an abomination . Really, we get it. However, we are also old enough to remember when people said the same thing about electronic music and even about Photoshop—it's soulless, it's evil, it's technology gone amok, it's taking work from the creative people who have been honing their craft for years. Again, we get you - and we respectfully disagree. AI is a tool, and like any tool in the history of humankind it can be used for go…

Look, Listen, I like Stranger Things just as much as the next GenX nerd; It gave me hours of joy, nostalgic feeling to my childhood, some wonderfully written characters and a ton of fun and clever homages and winks to my favorite decade of all time - the 1980s. That being said - They sure did take their sweet time with this series, which is a huge problem when all your main characters are supposed to be kids riding around their neighborhood on their bicycles. No offence but eleven looks thirty…

Yesterday was Lynda Carter's 73rd birthday and we wanted to salute our original Wonder Woman and tell her how much we love and appreciate her. Today's youth may only know Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman but back when I was a kid, there was the one and only Lynda Carter! She graced our screens every week (And when I say grace, I mean it! This woman was, and still is the epitome of grace). Was the TV show kind of silly and campy? Of course it was! But that was part of its charm . Lynda introduced a who…

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…
