I’m getting pretty hyped about the new Lord of the Ring’s streaming series, The Rings of Power. The series is not due to start until September, but Amazon has already released 23 character posters for series. The posters do not show the full characters, only showing part of their outfits,...
The James Webb space telescope is launching this month–one week from now, as of this writing, on Dec 22nd. That’s assuming there is no delay in the launch. For those who do not know, the James Webb is a “game-changer” telescope. Like its predecessor, the famed Hubble Space Telescope, the...
Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime series. I was worried about Netflix’s live-action adaptation (especially given what they did with Death Note), but they just released the open credits. Let me say this: it looks spot on. They used the same opening score music from the anime (called...
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.” Such is the opening poem to the epic Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (and later Brandon Sanderson). Amazon Prime is bringing the much beloved fantasy series to life this November, and they have...
NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been on Mars for nine years now, has just taken a great, full-color panorama of the Gale crater. You can see a the panorama video released by JPL below, and it is even narrated to explain everything you are seeing. The resolution is stunning, and...

Obviously, technical limitations in 1977 made an epic lightsaber duel impractical in the first Star Wars movie, but this scene brings the battle inline with what we saw of...
The “1 For All” D&D gamers web series by Deerstalker Production is always great, but this time they have truly outdone themselves with this hilarious D&D musical adventure. It is absolutely fantastic. If you haven’t seen any of their episodes before, it’s fine to watch this. Most of the episodes...
I know it’s a few years old, but I just stumbled upon the “J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin epic rap battle” and it is truly a gem (perhaps even an arkenstone?) among the many excellent epic rap battles that have been made. Go ahead and give...
I just recently stumbled upon the weird and wonderful musical mashups by two Italian brothers call the Melodicka Bros. They do covers for famous songs and bands, but with a twist: they play the song way out of genre. So, for example, they have a cyberpunk/synthwave cover of Toto’s “Africa.”...
