Here’s what we’re SCOOPin’ today:

 

Leading off today’s Scoop, this Cobra B.A.T.* costume at Comic Con. (scooped by Dex 1138)

*Battle Android Trooper

 

The smoke monster from LOST popped up on True Blood. Here are some other gigs that Smokey’s agent could book for him. Personally, I’d love to see him work with Alison Brie or Anna Torv. (scooped by Mr. Serious) (image above by fire blue graphics)

 

Do you consider something like this a spoiler? We discuss this topic (what exactly is a spoiler?) in the final segment of the most recent podcast, featuring ShezCrafti.

 

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Robert Downey Jr.’s Hall H entrance at Comic Con is the exact kind of thing that makes people like us want to attend this event. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

Nathan Fillion did a cool thing at Comic Con, too. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

In keeping with the Avengers theme, here are 5 things you need to know about the next Captain America movie. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

…something not included in that article – Anthony Mackie has been cast as Falcon!

 

5 (happy little) things you didn’t know about Bob Ross. (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)

 

It’s Italian Horror Week at Dr. Terror’s Blog of Horrors!

 

A daytime TV spouse joins American Horror Story. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

Enjoy these horribly awkward high-fives and handshakes. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

Since we didn’t have a Tweet of the Week on EP42 of the podcast, here’s the Tweet of the Day:

 

Birthday Babe – Sarah Jones

 

Today’s Failed Attempt to Capitalize on the Popularity of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile

The Pepsi Mountain Bike

Seriously, did someone get upset about that DKR tweet being a “spoiler?” What is wrong with people?

Not that one specifically that I know of, but on the pod we discuss similar instances!

The Pepsi mountain bike reminds me of the time I tried to paint my bike white…. using house paint! It was a mess!!

As a rule I can never bitch or moan about spoilers to comic book movies considering the source material is out there already for public consumption.

Anthony Mackie needed to be in a Marvel movie… ANY Marvel movie! Glad he’s signed up. Not sure about Falcon, but hopeful that they cast an ACTUAL African to play T’Challa in Black Panther down the line. Great casting move, Marvel!

ahh house paint on a bike, sounds like something I would have done. Did you at least go for the high gloss, or was it the eggshell express?

Mackie is awesome, and I think Falcon can be great if done right.
