Last year, the way we enjoy racing changed forever. We witnessed the 64th annual 12 Hours of Sebring live at Sebring International Speedway in Sebring, Fla. and marveled when the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) fuses the best of each style into the thrilling WeatherTech Championship Series. If ...
If there’s a summer blockbuster on the way, you can always count on Sideshow and Hot Toys to roll out a finely crafted collectible statue to part us with as much of our hard-earned money as we can sell blood to fork over. Marvel's upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is hardly an exception. Quite the opposite, of ...
Ah, “Guardians of the Galaxy.” It hardly feels like three years since a ragtag band of vagabond thieves, bounty hunters and killers became the stuff of interstellar legends by saving the whole of galactic existence from certain annihilation and teaching the world to love Blue Swede again. We laughed. We cried. We ...
The Japanese have a saying about identity: “A man is whatever room he is in.” Within its actual context, it means that everyone adapts to suit the environment and the company kept therein. Intrepid fashion designer Lauren “The Alchemist” Bowker and her firm The Unseen have upped the ante on that ode to personal ...
Within every child lurks the surgical argumentative precision to semantically dissect any instruction or question and use it against a logically inept grown-up. What’s that, Mom? You demand that we refrain from touching our sister? Well, I challenge you to point out when the tip of my finger closes the present ...
If acclaimed British comedian Ricky Gervais wanted some timely YouTube hype for his upcoming Netflix-original movie “David Brent: Life on the Road,” Old Spice and First We Feast host Sean Evans were hell-bent on making him earn every word the acerbic Anglo could get in edgewise. If you’ve ever seen the sadistically ...
These Video Game Shadow Boxes made by Toronto-based Etsy artists Glitch Artwork capture exactly the singular simplicity that has kept the 8-bit and 16-bit eras of gaming so timelessly satisfying. These retro works of art harken to a time when pioneering creators such as Shigeru Miyamoto, Richard “Lord British” ...
Since 1983, pop culture has known no more charismatic, endearing historian of parody than “Weird” Al Yankovic. For a fleeting limited time, you can pre-order an exclusive commemorative edition of his 15-album retrospective boxed set “Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic” and partake in a ...
If the hideously exposed, snapping teeth of Chatterer in "Hellraiser" never fails to reduce you to giggles when you imagine him trying to carry on a conversation, then Watch Ya' Mouth: Family Edition is the hilarious kid-friendly party game for you and yours. It began with a series of amusing viral videos, became a ...
https://youtu.be/gjqh-BPYU7U?list=PLxNXbstwM4O6RoI07ZtnAUvvXsC7GAk_D With "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" now in stores and the franchise 21 years removed from its 1996 debut on the original PlayStation, a generation of especially young gamers who didn't come of age alongside the Capcom tentpole franchise's two-decade ...
It isn't an established "rule of the internet" but it damn well should be: if it exists, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog can poop on it. Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump is about as far from an exception as any one person could be. The acerbic, hilarious cigar-chomping canine puppet proudly represented Conan ...
Bad lip reading has brought us some of the most hilarious takes on everything from Star Wars to Football, Politics and more. The You Tube channel is voiced by some of the most popular comedians of our time. Well, these comedians have given a voice to what was really said during the inauguration which we all witnessed ...
For those that long for the return of the iconic instant print cameras, your wait is over. The Polaroid Pop instant digital camera has landed at the CES 2017 show in Las Vegas, to kick-off the company’s 80th anniversary. The camera’s sleek and modern design, and classic 3x4” instant print format, supported with ...
Fellow nerds, we will never question your commitment to Sparkle Motion. Few events in any human lifetime equal the emotional gravity and ultimate joy that accompanies a child's birth. The hours leading up to it are typically wrought with excruciating pain many women wouldn't wish on your average war criminal. ...
If you haven't noticed, the winter air has steadily gone colder than a cryogenically frozen polar bear's daddy-bag lately. Keep your noggin toasty as the inside of a chimichanga with this Marvel Deadpool Beanie, an exclusive original item created by ThinkGeek. This is no ordinary beanie, either. Why settle for a ...
If people flock in droves to watch a show, Funko will inevitably immortalize it with a set of POP! Vinyl figures that make its characters at least 25 percent more adorable. We are pretty sure that's some kind of official benchmark. No exceptions, either. Hell, the "Stranger Things" collection somehow managed to ...
As many of these fine nerdy treasures do, the Star Wars AT-AT Bookshelf from Pottery Barn Kids got us thinking. Imagine civil war across a galaxy far, far away coming to an end at last. Picture a landscape of interstellar peace where "Yub Nub" rings out across planet after planet throughout every system. Do we dare ...
"Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall." Well, you would damn certainly know, Doctor, wouldn't you? Just exactly whose TARDIS do you suppose that is hanging out of it? Oh, that's rude. Is that all we are now? Rude? Rude and not ginger? OK, we take it back. The "not ginger" disappointment stings a ...
No way would we dare pass judgment on Disney Star Wars for rolling out this Disemboweled Tauntaun Tsum-Tsum Plushie Set. In fact, we applaud the House of Mouse. Shielding a child from the savage realities of surviving extreme climates does nobody any favors. So far, humanity has yet to set foot in any interstellar ...
Yak Shaving Day is just a bit of a downer this year, folks. Sadly, Funko's debut "Ren & Stimpy" POP! Vinyl set didn't reach stores everywhere in time for children and nostalgic children-at-heart to find a couple classic, crass Nickelodeon icons among their sinks full of shaving scum, diapers hung from the wall ...
"Bed. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the sleep-aid Ambien. Its five-hour mission: to explore trippy new dreams, to seek out new positions and the cool side of the pillow, to boldly snooze like no man has napped before." To your average adult, a bed is little more than a big, comfy place to idly doze ...
No words. Give us another thousand years and maybe our jar-preserved heads will conjure the verbiage to adequately describe "Fan-O-Rama," the stunning 30-minute "Futurama" fan film from Cinema Relics producers The Brothers Lanigan. The live-action story of Fry and Bender plotting to win a lifetime supply of Old ...
We would like to remind our crotchety next-door neighbor, Mr. Weathers, that we were the reasonable ones. We wanted to resolve ownership of the apple tree hanging across our property lines without anyone getting hurt. The roots are entirely on our side. It doesn't matter if the branches hang almost entirely over his ...
Was There A "Star Wars" Entry That "Rogue One" Didn't Reference? If scroll down and play this video without having seen "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and despite the word "SPOILERS" explicitly included in the headline, we don't want to hear so much as an Ewok-fart out of you. Are we absolutely clear? Not one word. ...
After years on end of rumors dating back to 1999, it still hardly felt believable when Warner Bros. and Ridley Scott confirmed a "Blade Runner" sequel on the way. A follow-up to the classic 1982 adaptation of Phillip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" had taken on a mythical mystique not unlike tales of ...
Could this be a new product for the Trump line of merchandise once he takes office? From the attention grabbing mind of Shed Simove, motivational speaker www.MotivationalSpeaker.biz
No childhood is complete without a soft, hairy friend that wraps its limbs around a tiny torso. We'll never forget the day we came from the playground with ours, one for each kid. We were still arguing over whose new companion would be named "Wicket" when Mom ran screaming at us and smacking our brand-new furry ...
Oh, Sideshow Toys. You are the reason we have can't have both money and nice things. Unsurprisingly, we consider money much more expendable than meticulously sculpted collectibles such as the Deadpool Heat-Seeker Premium Format Figure. Unveiled this past summer at San Diego Comic-Con, the Merc with a Mouth as ...
We just closed the book on the twentieth season of "South Park." Take a moment to digest that. The first time many of us saw the pilot episode "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe," a Clinton indeed held court over the White House. As Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Burton team up to commemorate two complete decades of the ...
You have to be draggin' one serious wagon to crush the Death Star with your forest moon of Endor. The Twerk is strong with this one. This Star Wars Death Star Bean Bag Cover certainly deflates the original planet-obliterating battle station's intimidating presence. Even once you supply your own filling, it's asking ...
While one marquee cinematic franchise after another over the past five years or so has attempted to reboot or reimagine itself with varying twists and degrees of success, "War for the Planet of the Apes" is set to arrive this coming summer as the culmination of what we would call a surprisingly quiet resurgence by the ...
Thankfully, BB-8's creator was more clever than the average maker of nifty novelty coffee mugs. Had circumstances played out otherwise, sabotaging this brave, freewheeling astromech droid would have been about as spilling hot coffee on him and waiting for the heat to reveal his control panel. Boom. That's one ...
This "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" Black Knight Funko POP! Vinyl figure sets a new precedent for us: it's the first toy in the series that motivates us to do so much more than let it sit on a shelf and look adorable. No, quite the contrary. Given the never-say-die Arthurian adversary's "pre-detached" limbs, we ...
Long ago, many moons (and two non-moon space stations) before nifty foldable handheld gadgets that hang conveniently from any handyperson's belt, R2-D2 was the Rebel Alliance's quintessential multitool. Need to pass a life-or-death emergency distress message to a long-exiled Jedi legend? The Little Astromech That ...
The future may have a drastically reduced need for roads, but everything from Hoverboards to self-lacing Nikes still needs power. Let's be honest, if anything about "Back To The Future" tends to mystify us, it would be Dr. Emmett L. Brown's inability to wrap his head around the revolutionary potential household ...
We would hope you wouldn't feel compelled to exclaim, "That thing's operational!" upon plugging in this Death Star Desk Lamp. Of course, it's operational. It's a brand-new lamp. Do things you buy online routinely arrive in no reasonable working order? If so, where exactly do you shop and why do you keep buying things ...
From Instagram, YouTube, and Netflix to sordid porn the likes of which you can't enjoy without first quadruple-checking that it remains legal where you live, on-demand video and smartphones go together like chocolate and peanut butter. These two great tastes just taste great together. Unfortunately, intently ...
The Star Wars Desktop Lightsaber Lamp suggests a fitting sort of final insult for a defeated Sith Lord: by all means, feel free to lay waste to one system after another like you own the place. When you finally encounter one that pushes back, just know that whoever strikes you down reserves the right to reduce your ...
This plush, cozy Ewok Ladies' Robe raises all kinds of questions about potential divergent evolution across the forest moon of Endor. Hear us out. Some individual among a species' population displays the very first instance of a seemingly spontaneous mutation. That one distinctive trait proves exceptionally ...
Virtual reality just might have finally arrived as a tech frontier that could be considered viable to the average consumer. The overall experience has evolved seemingly light-years since the famously awkward early days of the Nintendo Virtual Boy underwhelming the world when compared to standards we now admit ...
Aficionados of video game aesthetics, rejoice: with the holiday shopping season already jumping down throats worldwide alongside bites of turkey and stuffing, the PlayStation 4 Pro has launched to offer console enthusiasts with refined tastes a mid-generation upgrade. The PS4 Pro's cutting-edge enhanced hardware ...
Memes are to nerds what the English language is to the British: others may adopt and adapt them, but they will always be closest to our hearts, both as our shorthand and our mother tongue. Along those lines, invoking Nyan Cat would be akin to crossing the pond and spontaneously quoting Winston Churchill, Margaret ...
Damn you, Japan. Why is it that every time you come across a door that mankind should definitely think twice about opening, you can't wait to blow it off its hinges? A hotel hall in Japan recently rang with the roars and stomps of arguably the world's most realistically recreated dinosaurs as On-Art Corp CEO Kazuya ...
That last four weeks or so before a long-anticipated blockbuster hits theaters always drags the most sadistically slowly. It can't be bargained with or hurried. Therefore, with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" now in theaters and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" still a few weeks from arriving Dec. 16, we'll ...
For all but one wizard chosen by the Goblet of Fire, the opportunity to grasp the Triwizard Cup was the most important day of their lives. For Harry Potter, it was a Tuesday. When we think about everything The Boy Who Lived had endured prior to being tossed into the Triwizard Tournament in his fourth year at ...
The wait is nearly over. After eight years trudging through development, the journey to a live-action "Ghost In The Shell" movie that began the year America elected Barack Obama to his first term as President of the United States will culminate March 31, 2017 as America struggles to accept the words, "President Donald ...
We'll be damned if we have an earnest explanation for not being more hyped before now for "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets," the sci-fi action thriller coming this July from "The Fifth Element" and "Lucy" director Luc Besson. Based on the hit French science fiction graphic novel series "Valérian and ...
Far be it for us to question the ingenuity or forward thinking of the Enterprise crew, but for all the time everyone spends in lush holodeck simulations and experimenting in the hydroponics lab, how is there not a single garden gnome to be found charming the Starfleet-regulation pants off even that perpetual grump ...
Dear Duffer Brothers, Hey, guys. Hope this open letter finds you well. Just to start this off on the right note, thank you from here to the Upside Down and back for "Stranger Things," or as we've come to think of it, "The Greatest Stephen King Story Ever Told, Even Counting Almost Everything Ever Written By Stephen ...
