Many comic book fans are familiar with the age old debate of Marvel vs DC, but I thought it would be fun to stretch this debate out and compare what the two largest media companies in existence have over each other and what it says about both the companies and what it means about you,…
Books are no longer the primary form of entertainment here in the twenty first century, so it would only make sense that comic books, being a printed text, are now a struggling media. Right? However, there is a media very similar to comic books that is not only doing well but is thriving right now:…
Lately, Geek Insider HQ has been getting a lot of strange calls. When we pick up, the person on the other line hangs up right away. We started noticing a white car following us. We thought it was a prank. Then Bill showed up at our door, early this morning, a folder of photos in…
It’s a sinking feeling in the pit of your gut when you see the notification that one of your favorite shows on Netflix will soon disappear forever, especially if you haven’t finished the series. Your mind goes into a state of red alert. Text messages are sent to loved ones notifying them you’ll be unavailable for…
January at the box office tends to look like that Tupperware full of holiday leftovers in your fridge. There’s some good stuff, but it’s nothing compared to how good it was in December. The art house movies that will get some award show recognition are beginning to expand nationwide. There are also a few studio…
We have come to know and love the characters in HBO’s Game of Thrones. But what about the actors? For some of you hardcore fans, you already know the cast inside out. For the casual viewer, this article is for you. Of course we can’t cover every character in one article, but a few main characters can…
Felicia Day, along with Touchstone Books, announced she has written a book. A memoir, in fact, called You’re Never Weird On The Internet (Almost). A memoir I can’t wait to read. Ever wonder what Nathan Fillion smells like? Or if Wil Wheaton is an over or under guy when it comes to toilet paper? Well, you’ll…
Games like The Walking Dead and The Last of Us remind us that the power a great narrative can take a video game to the next level. Video games have a lot to gain from literature. Authors create ideas that have the potential inspire compelling games. These video games don’t have to follow the same plot of the…
Don’t let the title of this post fool you, when I say holiday movie season, I mean big studio blockbusters and critically acclaimed titles that may appear on the award show ballots. As for actual holiday themed movies, there are none. Not one single Christmas cartoon or rom-com will reach a wide audience this year….
There are three types of people in this world: Star Wars people, Star Trek people, and those who love both. JJ Abrams will soon be added to the third category as he teams up with Disney to direct the long awaited Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This new installment has a lot to live up to;…
Arguably one of the TV’s saddest news last year was Futurama finally being killed off (for the second time). The show was rescued once by Comedy Central in 2008 after Fox originally canceled it in 2003. However, the wonderful animated sit-com did have a decent run with 7 season and 140 episodes. It just seems unfair that we couldn’t…
“Before there was thought, there was this place. One Earth. With a single history. But with the coming of man, came the illusion of free will. And with that illusion, came chaos. With every choice we make, we literally create a world. History branches in two, creating one Earth where we made the choice, and…
This is not a spoiler. Okay, maybe a little one, but Felicia Day posted it on Twitter, so the Black Tabby Cat is out of its carrier. That’s right. Felicia Day has been filming on the set of Supernatural. Did you really think you had seen the last of Charlie Bradbury? The LARPing,…
Even though the pilot failed miserably in 2007, NBC has decided once again to attempt bringing The IT Crowd to the US. As one of Britain’s most popular comedies, The IT Crowd brought us 4 seasons of laughter through the antics of two socially awkward IT guys and their oblivious, computer illiterate manager, working from the…
November is often overlooked when thinking about the calendar’s big movie months. But it always delivers with a few big releases. This year’s November movies are even more impressive than usual. Well, at least on paper they are. People always seem to complain about the number of sequels that get made, but wait for the…
