They Can’t All Be Buffys-Zombieland the Pilot

Bex — Thu, 23 May 2013 17:55:58 +0000

Most of you are probably fans of the 2009 Ruben Fleischer directed film Zombieland. The charmingly hilarious take on the zombie genre stars Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee), Emma Stone (Wichita), Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), and Abigail Breslin (Little Rock) as survivors of a mad cow disease derived zombie virus. If you’ve done your nerd due diligence, you [...]

All the Posts I Meant to Write this Month, Abridged

Proffitt — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 07:00:20 +0000

You know how you see something and you think, Oh man! I gotta tell people about this, but then you forget or put it off? Then, it’s been so long that you think, Well, they probably know about it by now anyway, so why bother? And then, you’re like, No, wait. I have something to [...]

Hemlock Grove-A New Guilty Pleasure

Bex — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:32 +0000

Junior horror master (sorry, he’s not a full on master ala Wes Craven or Stephen King yet) Eli Roth‘s most recent project is the original Netflix serial Hemlock Grove. The show is based on Brian McGreevy’s novel of the same name. Roth is hit [...]

Deborah Harkness and A Discovery of Witches

Bex — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:37:17 +0000

I try to ignore labels, but it’s still a little humiliating for me to reach for a work of fiction labeled “paranormal romance.” But, at the recommendation of a friend with seemingly good taste, I picked up the first book in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy, A [...]

After several months of teasing us with previews, the American SYFY and Canadian Showcase channels have finally premiered the anticipated, Defiance.

Proffitt and I are originally from the home of the single, silvery Arch – St. Louis, MO. Trailers for the show featured the, “Is this St. [...]

Cover Reveal for the New Liz Long Novel Witch Hearts

Bex — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:36:09 +0000

Liz Long, indie author, magazine writer and witty nerd extraordinaire first came on my radar when she was giving free e-reader versions of her debut novel away on Twitter. The young adult paranormal fiction Gifted: A Donovan Circus Novel was entertaining to read, had a good mystery, [...]

From Gen-X, To Chris Hardwick With Love

Proffitt — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:54:14 +0000

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 [...]

Before the Movie: G.I. Joe Retaliation

Bex — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:17:34 +0000

I love trailers. The previews are one of the best parts of the movie going experience. If you are one of those people that are late to movies so you miss the trailers, I hold a grudge against you if you make me miss them. However, let me say they have gotten out of control. [...]

Go Joe! G.I. Joe Retaliation

Bex — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:05:09 +0000

There will be some spoilers sweetie

“Well, it has to be better than the first one, right?” That pretty much sums up my initial expectations of G.I. Joe Retaliation. The first live action G.I. Joe , G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, was an absolute disaster for most fans. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who loves a cheesy [...]

That Movie was Great! Now, Let’s Never Speak of it Again.

Proffitt — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 00:20:37 +0000

Typically, when I love something, I consume it often: coffee, songs, movie theater popcorn, even some rare and special books worth investing another 10 hours in. And movies. Man, do I love re-watching movies. If I stumble upon Jaws, Bridesmaids, Serenity or Shaun of the Dead while flipping through channels (or, let’s be honest, scrolling [...]
