It might be hard for those of you not from the 70s to understand how deeply satisfying I find Chris Hardwick’s steady rise to nerd-world-domination, but before I explain, let’s take a moment to discuss the likelihood that you know who he is.
There are probably two kinds of people reading this: 1) people who [...]
Since my birth in 1974 there have been no fewer than 62 predictions of apocalyptic doom to gain at least some public attention, either because there seemed to be reasonable science behind the prediction, or because the leaders and followers of various groups engaged in strange, sometimes tragic behavior in response to their belief the [...]
2012 has been a year of highest highs and lowest lows (or rather one lowest low that deserves mention). I found this suggestion somewhere I can’t remember: decorate a jar for 2013 and every great thing that happens, write it on a slip of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of [...]
Long before we were Bex and Proffitt, we were just Becky and Rachel. We had wild, cascading hair and complexions so pale you could practically (literally) trace our veins.

Spoilers for – Doctor Who, Angel, Buffy, and Game of Thrones (the first book/first season of HBO show)
I had a total geek epic fail. I realized I never saw David Tenant’s last Doctor Who episode (the two parter-The End of Time). How I missed it, I’ll never know, but I have been wondering around [...]
You may have noticed a little more LOST talk around these parts lately. Bex has recently started watching the show for the first time, and Proffitt is crying her way through a re-watch, so you’ll have to forgive us. It’s a great show and our site didn’t exist when it first aired. We’ve got some [...]
