What’s in a Name? The Secret Identities of Superheroes

by Corey Pung

I believe it was an in old Marvel comic featuring Stan’s Soapbox (a column Stan Lee used to answer reader’s questions) that Stan Lee revealed his technique on naming many of his characters.  He gave a lot of the original Marvel characters alliterative names for their secret identities, meaning that their first and last names […]

Where Are They Now? Staci Keanan

by Corey Chapman @chapmanrunner

It’s not often child actors land a starring role on a network sitcom. It’s even more rare when you do it twice. That’s exactly what Staci Keanan did. Keanan (born Anastasia Sagorsky) started in 1987, where she spent three seasons on the Paul Reiser-Greg Evigan NBC sitcom “My Two Dads”. The show revolves around Keanan’s […]

UnderScoopFire Podcast #23 – Meet the Roundtable Voltron

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

What rude hosts we’ve been! 22 episodes in and we’ve talked about everything from Clark Griswold to Fireball Island, but we never took the time to properly introduce ourselves. We’ve spent hours talking about the Drummonds, the Seavers, the Bluths and the Skywalkers, but no such insight has been given into our backgrounds. That ends […]

by Kyle Drapeau

My apologies for the extended delay between postings, but alas, assisting in the management of a movie theater has its time constraints (and impacts my drive to drink).

Tank’s Toy Chest 2: My Life Flashed Before My Thighs

by Chris Tanski

I am going to go off base with this episode, for this was supposed to be a column about various items of my collection that fanboys might dig on. This article I am going to discuss an item I own that no one in their right mind would ever want. It would never sell on […]

The 2012 DVR Cleanup Project: Week 3

by Googs

This week’s journey through the magical realm of my DVR is a short one. Time is, unfortunately, constantly moving no matter how often I try to use my Jedi powers to slow it down (I am actually a Jedi, by the way. I have the paperwork to prove it.). Family, friends, super secret projects for […]

Awesome Instrumentals of the 80s – Side 2

Now it’s time to fast forward and flip the […]

A Look Back at MTV’s “Undressed”

In 1999 I was finishing up my undergraduate degree, living with my girlfriend, going out drinking five nights a week.

With tax season coming up, we all have to make sure everything is in perfect order to avoid hearing from Uncle Sam.
