After 3 weeks... I'm back! And with an awesome guest too! Team Goldie is the solo project of Pennsylvania-based singer, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist Matt DiStefano. Combining elements of hip-hop, punk, and indie-rock into a genre-bending style of pop music, one thing you can say about Team Goldie is that it has 100% geek appeal. Similar to Weezer, Daft Punk, Beastie Boys, N.E.R.D., and Panic!...

Let's freaking go!!! 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is here and fans are already rejoicing that the MCU is back! But is that the truth...?

The new Star Wars series 'The Acolyte' just wrapped its first season on Disney+. And were fans happy with what they got? Taking place 100 years before The Prequels, the series introduced all new characters, Jedi martial arts, and ideas about the Force to the established Star Wars canon. Some of those changes made some people crazy. But were there any highlights? Will we get a Season 2? More than a...

Everyone loves a good horror movie. And it gets even more fun when you add a bit of comedic nostalgia to the mix.
