No Bluth Reunion on the New Season of Arrested Development & Why Disney Should Take the Same Path with Star Wars

There’s a report on Pajiba that gives Arrested Development fans some insight into the new season that debuts on Netflix this spring. From the article: “Arrested Development” is not exactly a full reunion of the cast, as each episode will focus on only one character. Of the 14 episodes, only Jason Bateman will appear in […]

The Greatest Thing to Happen in 1990: The Ultimate Warrior on The Arsenio Hall Show

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I honestly don’t know where to start. Children of the 80s, regardless of their level of WWF fandom, were aware of the Ultimate Warrior. He was an odd choice for a near-crossover star, making a few mainstream appearances and national advertising endorsements. For all of the flashy and specialized WWF Superstars of the day, […]

Ask Mr. Serious: Volume I

This week’s question comes from Jaimiee via Facebook. Jamie asks: Can god microwave a burrito so hot he himself could not eat it? -Homer Simpson. Let me know I could just answer “Yes” or “No” and be done but I don’t think that’s fair to you and quite frankly, it’s the easy way out. After giving it […]

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

You love Kaley Cuoco. You really love Kaley Cuoco. But I’ll get back to that in a moment. I’m a big fan of what Will West did over at his site recently – in his “West Year Ever” post he gave readers a peek behind the curtain, some insight into his thoughts as a blogger and a member […]

‘Baseball Card Vandals’ = The Funniest Thing You’ll See Today

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Toy Review – Diamond Select Toys Battle Beasts Minimates – Strictus & Bliss Reynolds [VIDEO]

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

The review of our Diamond Select Toys haul continues! Just like yesterday’s Munsters Koach we reviewed, Diamond produces licensed toys for yet another great 80s property: Battle Beasts. [UPDATE: I talked with Diamond Select’s Marketing Supervisor after posting this review. He informed me that this is not a license from the 80s. DST created a new […]

5 Reasons You Should Be Watching Gravity Falls

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I could probably intro this list with a bunch of references from the show, essentially inside jokes that only dedicated viewers would get, but that would be cray cray. The whole point of this is to get people who aren’t watching Disney’s Gravity Falls to tune in. If I could fashion a time machine out […]

Aquaman’s Day at the Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Sometimes I do really geeky and embarrassing stuff for the sake of this blog… ..and other times I get to do totally awesome stuff like take my son’s Imaginext Aquaman figure along with us to the Aquarium! It truly was an “Imaginext Christmas” for my 3 year old, as he hauled in quite the […]

Comic Book Review: What a non-Spidey Reader thinks of Amazing Spider-Man #700

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Before we get started, a couple of confessions: Confession #1 I’ve never reviewed a comic. I’ve reviewed a few toys now, but as much as I enjoy reading and collecting comic books, I’ve always been afraid that if I commit to reviewing them, reading them could start to feel like work. If you know […]

Toy Review – Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Love at first sight. The Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett figure is as breathtaking as you’d imagine. Based on one of the most divisive characters in the Star Wars Universe, no one would argue that Sideshow’s 1/6 scale rendition of the famed bounty hunter isn’t one of their best. Admittedly, I’m a Sideshow […]

UnderScoopFire Action Figure Nativity Scene

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I have to thank ShezCrafti for posting about the Dork Horde’s Action Figure Nativity Contest yesterday. By the way, her Baby Jesus Kraang scene is excellent. Even though the deadline had passed, head Hordesman Reis O’Brien was gracious enough to let me submit a late entry. I raced home, created a manger with cardboard and […]
