Lipreading is an invaluable skill that you can use for watching movies and TV shows when the audio sucks or when your bros are being too loud and noisy. Why use your ears when you can just use your eyes? The downside is you probably won't understand a damn thing if you're bad at it or are just starting... Read More
Star Wars and Dr. Who fans got into the dorkiest fight ever at a sci-fi convention in England. It all went down in Norwich when the local Star Wars club put on a sci-fi con.

'What if Star Trek was done as a Middle School musical?' Asked no one ever. And yet, YouTube comedians Rhett and Link asked and answered that very question as a segment of this week's Mythical Show.

A 10-foot-tall statue of Robocop is almost complete and will go up somewhere in the Motor City. It started, like everything these days, on Kickstarter. A group, (probably of nerd potheads), thought it would be awesome to put up a statue of Murphy in his home city of Detroit. The statue only needs its... Read More
In a weird way, infomercials are fun to watch. Most of them talk about stuff and offer products you don't need, but there's just something about how they try to engage you that makes it interesting.

I continue my quest to find the cream of the crap in Netflix Instant's library of streaming celluloid diarrhea with a classic tale of a magic and guys in fur panties. I'm talking about the classically awful 1984 sword and sorcery epic Conan the Destroyer. Arnold Schwarzenegger had rocketed to fame a... Read More
