Beautiful ‘Doctor Who’ art by Patrick Ballesteros

It’s been a while since we last heard from our favorite pop culture-inspired artist.

Casting the (Possible) Upcoming Marvel Movies

It looks like we’re entering a new age of comic book movies now that Marvel has greenlit some upcoming flicks AND has gotten the rights back to certain characters that were in creative limbo like The Punisher, Daredevil, and Ghost Rider (did someone say a Marvel Knights movie!?).

This Might Be the Best Toy Packaging of All Time

Marvel has revealed a Deadpool Corps Marvel Universe figure set as this year’s San Diego ComicCon 2013 exclusive, and the packaging for that set will be a…

“Geek out” your fridge or office with these pop culture magnets (and donate to wounded veterans in the process)

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

If you’re into 80s cereals, NES game covers, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, TMNT, and other vintage stuff (which I know you are), you’ll love Blue Crab Magnets.

8-bit Cinema – Iron Man in 60 Seconds (Mega Man Style!)

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I know, there’s a lot going on in that headline- that’s because the premise of this video is a lot to digest. From Cinefix comes this marvelous 8-bit version of the first Iron Man movie – in 60 seconds – oh, and it looks like the NES game Mega Man. It’s like if they added […]

Ghostbusters 3: Who Would You Choose as the Four NEW Ghostbusters?

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

In a recent interview with Larry King, Dan Aykroyd says that they’ll be casting 4 new Ghostbusters for Ghostbusters 3. It doesn’t sound like they plan to stray too far from the original formula, as Aykroyd elaborates: “We’re going to have to cast. We need four new Ghostbusters. We need four new Columbia students.” Dan goes […]

Indiana Jones + sidewalk chalk = Patrick Ballesteros’ “Indy Art”

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Our torrid love affair with the art of Patrick Ballesteros continues! If you’ve somehow missed the 4 other times we’ve featured and blogged about his work, go here. This time he’s back with an Indiana Jones inspired piece called Indy Art. The piece will be on display at Bottleneck Gallery until May 26, where the theme of the […]

Funny Or Die NBC promo video stars Kylie Minogue as She-Ra

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

On the heels of DC Comics’ announcement that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will once more face off against DC’s mightiest heroes, Funny Or Die has released this parody NBC video announcing She-Ra (“starring” Kylie Minogue) as a new show on their schedule. Gotta say, “She-Ra Weintraub” is still a better alias than […]

Michael Ian Black tweets for Dos Equis, replies to everyone who blasts him for it

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

One thing I’ve noticed since I began blogging and podcasting: people will go out of their way to tell you they don’t care about you and your opinions. That’s what makes Michael Ian Black’s response to one of the first (of many) who jumped on him for tweeting a Dos Equis-sponsored message so great. https://twitter.com/ForeverAeon/status/332959007079817216 […]

What if The Avengers intro was done A-Team style?

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I love it when a mashup comes together. As far as sci-fi juggernaut + 80s TV theme mashups go, this Avengers + The A-Team intro is as good as (if not better than) the Star Wars/Magnum P.I. one from 2009 (Han Solo, P.I.) Can somebody get on a Thor/Fall Guy for me? What other good […]

“Tuna Melt” video will be the most engaging 4 minutes of your day

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

This video, which makes all other Rube Goldberg machines look like this, is insanely elaborate and visually stunning. The video for A-Trak (1/3 of the trio behind one of my favorite songs of 2012) & Tommy Trash’s “Tuna Melt” is directed by Ryan Staake, but what I want to know is who is the camera operator […]

You’re Gonna Want These Mini MOTU and Batman Characters

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

In case you missed it, I had a conniption last month over an artist’s rendering of Masters of the Universe LEGO Minifigures. That artist was Gregos Thomas, and he was cool enough to send over a few more images of the MOTU LEGO Minifigs after seeing how bonkers I was for them. I’ve been fortunate to email […]
