David Tennant joins Jessica Jones
The new Netflix produced series based on a Marvel Superhero property will be Jessica Jones – which is about a retired superhero who becomes a private investigator of sorts. Jones will be played by Kristen Ritter (who I just love) and now the first villain of the series has been announced and will be played by David Tennant. InsideTV reveals: The studio has cast David Tennant as the major villain in its upcoming Netflix series...
Melissa Benoist will be Supergirl
Looks like CBS’s new take on DC Comics Supergirl has finally found its Kara El – Melissa Benoist! Most recently Melissa was one of Glee’s next generations – which spelled doom for the show as it now spends its last season rekindling its original glory with the original cast on a planned ending. But the only thing about that season that I liked was Melissa. (Yeah, I just admitted that I watch Glee – I was...
Diplate puts Iconic Cars on Metal
Thanks to the wonders of targeted marketing on Facebook, I found this awesome place that makes movie posters on steel plates. Displate has chosen some pretty sweet art depicting some of the iconic cars of tv and film and their drivers. And its pretty neat how they make em too! Go pick your favourite at Displate! And full disclosure, I am not getting paid to promote them. They are just cool enough to get my attention (and if they...
Battle of the Planets Remake Headed to TV
My childhood was filled with awesome, and that’s what has shaped and carved me into the mecca of awesome that I am today. One of the earliest animated shows that ever impacted me was called Battle of the Planets! Granted, none of us ever called it that because to us it was G-Force. No, not that talking guinea pigs with superpowers movie. This was an animated series dubbed for North American audiences and was originally known as...
Meet the Lego Tardis!
Shelly Timson took two great tastes that taste great together. No, not Resse’s Peanut Butter Cups, but the impressive combination of of Doctor Who’s Tardis and Legos! This 1/3 scale Tardis is made up of over 4000 pieces (and rumoured to have more on the inside). After reaching out to Inside the Brick to gather up as many dark blue bricks as possible the Tardis came to life in Lego style over three weeks of snappy...
Fables of the Green Forest comes to YouTube
This was a total throwback to my more innocent days were the stories we read about all came to life! These marvelously whimsical animated series from 1973 was originally a Japanese series called Rocky Chuck, Mountain Rat who was not a rat, but a woodchuck. It aired here in Canada on TVOntario as Fables of the Green Forest, and Rocky, with his gal pal woodchuck Polly would have adventures and lessons about life. You can check out the...
TV DC is Separate from Cinematic DC
Despite the popularity of TV’s Arrow – the small screen adaptation of Green Arrow – the adventures of Oliver Queen will not intermingle with the epic big screen storytelling of Superman and Batman. Newsarama says: DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns nixed the idea that the comic book-based worlds of The CW’s multiple TV series and their new film series that started with Man of Steel and continues with...
Juliette Lewis and Molly Ringwald join Jem and the Holograms
With the fast approaching and already in production Jem and the Holograms movie, it is about time we heard some casting news…. Like someone other than Jem and her Holograms. It seems that Juliette Lewis and 80s Brat Pack princess Molly Ringwald have joined the cast, but their roles are not yet revealed, though many rumours seem to suggest Lewis might be Jem’s computer assistant Synergy. But I have a different theory. I...

Are we Ready for Klingon Beer?
I cannot stress enough exactly how obsessed I am with craft beers. It is a massive market that is making the big beer manufacturers very nervous. And the beers getting a lot of attention are those with brand association. Brewery Ommegang makes a Game of Thrones inspired beer, and now we are getting a Klingon Beer. Star Trek.com says: Brewed by Tin Man Brewing of Evansville, Indiana, Klingon Warnog will incorporate rye malt into a...

The Facebook page I Fucking Love Science is a gathering place of all sorts of oddities in the science world, that not only educates you on how amazing our world truely is, but it also entertains. Well it will be taking the next logical leap to TV on the Science Channel (with a bit of censorship in its title) via Green Mountain West Productions and Karga7 Productions, and today at South by Southwest in Austin it was announced that Late...
Game of Thrones Puzzle and Popup Book are Awesome
I have always wanted a map that was the opening sequence of Game of Thrones, with its little expanding clockwork cities and landscape models. I thought that would make for an impressive piece of art. They haven’t quite done this, however the closest we are going to get to a retail product is this layered 3d puzzle of Westeros complete with tiny city models and landmarks! And if that wasn’t enough, we also tripped across...
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Game Trailer
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark looks to be continuing the fun and style of War for Cybertron for the gaming world. The film versions of the Transformers seem to have a bit of influence on the prequel generation of Transformers found in the game. Looks like a lot of fun. I wished there were more Transformer games like War for Cybertron, and it looks like there will be! Which side would you be playing? Autobots or...
Google Streetview Into the Tardis
Google Maps – especially StreetView has a lot of great hidden Easter Eggs but some are just for the Geeky types. This one is for you Doctor Who enthusiasts – or Whovians! If you visit the link (attached to the picture below), you will get to see a common British Police Box which of course is the form chosen by the Tardis, The Doctor’s personal time travel vessel. Now if you navigate down the road, you will just see...
Simpsons Lego Set is Real
I am a big Lego fan, and seeing some creations by other super fans is always fun to see, but when they make them officially licensed and available to the public? Now that is awesome. The set will be available next month at the price of $199.99US ($229Cdn). Bit steep, but the attention to detail is incredible. I would consider...
Sailor Moon to return after 20 Years
After 20 years since Sailor Moon was first on the air, we get good news for Sailor Scout fans. Last year the return of Sailor Moon was delayed, but now it looks like it will be a reality. The official website for the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Project announced on Friday that the new Sailor Moon anime will premiere this July. It will stream worldwide via the Niconico service. I wasn’t exactly the target demographic for Sailor...
My Little Raptors
Artistic Mashups are one of my favourite forms of artistic expression. Taking two seemingly unrelated properties and re-imagining them crossing the streams like a desperate Ghostbuster! Artist, Geek, Cosplayer, Mexican-Irish, Fangirl Brianna Garcia did exactly that when she took the saccharin sweet My Little Pony franchise and re-envisioned them as something more appealing. RAPTORS! You can see more of this talented artist’s...
