  • Mandela Goes to Hollywood: New Trailer is Causing Excitement

    Most of us have known for awhile that a movie regarding the Mandela Effect was in the works. With the ever growing “popularity” of the Effect and more and more people realizing that they are “Effected,” we knew it was just a matter of time.  However, since so many books and independent movies seem to…

  • The Mandalorian’s Real Name Revealed

    **Warning – this article contains spoilers for Disney+’s The Mandalorian.  Thanks to lead actor Pedro Pascal, we now know exactly who our new favorite bounty hunter is, and it’s not who fans were hoping for… The Mandalorian’s first 2 episodes have left fans, including your’s truly, clamoring for more and scrambling to dissect and decipher…

  • The Greatest Fight in Animation History

    If you have yet to see this little gem, you’re definitely missing out. Marv Newland’s animated student film from 1969, Bambi Meets Godzilla, is considered a classic and was even ranked number 38 in the book “The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals” that was published in 1994. What happens when the…

  • Ironman Lives, Sets New World Record!!

    More than a few of us had to “discreetly” brush away a tear or two when Tony sacrificed himself and clocked out in Avengers Endgame. In a scene arguably more gut-wrenching than Peter getting dusted, Tony saved us all and was finally able to rest. Back here IRL, there are few among us that haven’t…

  • Robots & AI Were Created to Destroy Us All!!

    No, this isn’t another review or advertisement for the new Terminator movie, I haven’t even seen it yet actually, and I haven’t been talking to Elon Musk either (boy wouldn’t THAT be a Geek Insider exclusive?). I’m talking about ALL of the evidence that robots are indeed out to get us, and always have been!…

  • ‘Evil’ is Among Us

    While at Wizard World Austin this past weekend, I happened upon an unexpected treat. The local CBS affiliate, KEYE, held a screening for an episode of the new series Evil, and of course with a name like that, I just had to check it out. When we settled into the room and heard we’d be…

  • The Best Horror Comic You’ve Yet to Read

    While the comic books were actually rather few and far between at this year’s Wizard World Comic Con in Austin, I did find one that I absolutely fell in love with. I always enjoy a bit of wit and Kevin M. Glover, the writer and publisher of Fractured Scary Tales, brings a good bit of…

  • Ready to Get in the Christmas Spirit?

    With Thanksgiving just 2 weeks away, no matter whether you’re ready or not, Christmas is right around the corner. If you’re looking to get rid of the Bah Humbugs or just want some warm and fuzzy time with the family or loved ones, the Hallmark Christmas movie lineup may be exactly what you need. Both…

  • Recap: Wizard World Austin 2019

    A super busy weekend in Austin may have attributed greatly to the turnout for this year’s Comic Con from Wizard World, but it was still a great time for all that attended. The Texas Longhorns were playing a home game (which they won, woot woot) and apparently there were several different festivals around town for…

  • The Bible Mandela Effect: Bad Changes to the Good Book?

    Is the Bible Mandela Effect Real? I grew up in the heart of the Bible Belt, where Churches are spaced about 3 blocks apart and supper almost always began with saying Grace. For most of my youth, I attended both Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at a local Baptist Church, and even my Boy…

  • WTH is the Mandela Effect?

    Yup, I’m back on this again. Why? Because it blows my fricken mind, that’s why! Over the past couple of years I’ve written a little more than a half-dozen articles on the subject but I assure you, it’s something I could write about rather frequently.  As it happens, it’s Sunday afternoon, I have some free…

  • Countdown to Wizard World Austin

    As someone inherently trepidatious of crowds, there are significantly few events in this world that I look forward to. Let’s face it, being in a wheelchair at a concert or sporting event just plain sucks ass. However, Comic Cons are a completely different breed of crowd and with the Austin Wizard World convention starting Nov….

  • ‘Joker’ Set to Steal $1 Billion at the Box Office: Here’s Why

    After two weeks at number one and slipping into second this past week, Joker has amassed well over $730 million and still climbing. While that may not be Avengers: Endgame level of money making, it’s an impressive feat for DC and Warner Brothers and finally put some excitement back into the Batman universe. First off,…

  • Buyer Beware: The Dark Side of Ancestry Testing

    Okay, this is a bit of a personal piece and while it is long, there is a method to my madness. Something all of our parents tried to teach us long ago but a lot of us seem to forget over time — think before you act. Like millions of others, I’ve been trying to…
