Happy Veterans Day! Today is a day that we honor those men and women who have joined the military and chosen to commit their life to serving their nation. To commemorate the date, we have chosen to highlight characters that to us, exemplify the spirit of fighting the good fight, and who serve their fictional […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Star Trek: Beyond hits theaters today, and since only 2/3 of us are Trekkies, we wanted to do something that paid tribute to the latest entry in the Trek canon while still allowing all three of us to participate. So instead of listing our favorite Trek characters or episodes, we’ve decided to […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! In honor of X-Men: Age of Apocalypse hitting theaters this weekend, today’s Five By Friday is all about our favorite X-Men! And while we absolutely enjoy all the X-Men movies (with the obvious exception of X-Men: The Last Stand, because really, who liked that one?) we’re including any characters who have ever been a member […]
WARNING: Spoilers for Captain America: Civil War, Agent Carter, Ant-Man, and Avengers: Age of Ultron ahead. Proceed at your own risk. Like many of you, we saw Captain America: Civil War on opening weekend, and haven’t stopped discussing it since. While the internet is abuzz with speculation about the big questions raised by Civil War’s somewhat open ending […]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which blasted its way onto the film scene back in 2008 with Iron Man and is adding its latest installment this weekend with Captain America: Civil War, has grown over the last eight years into a sprawling juggernaut of a franchise, with twelve films and four TV series already released and […]
It’s May 4th and you know what that means? It’s Star Wars Day! I know, I know, we promised you two full weeks of Marvel goodness as a leadup to Civil War, and I bet you’re wondering where Star Wars fits into all of that. As I’m sure you know, over the past few years […]
Thor. Oh, Thor. To the surprise of exactly zero people in my life, Thor is my favorite Avenger (at least of the ones that have shown up in the MCU so far). I have multiple Thors on multiple desks in my life (two at work, one at home… for now). Thor is beautiful, he is […]
All my friends know that if ever there’s a day where I don’t respond to a text chain with at least one GIF, I’ve probably been taken over by a pod person. I know, I know, some people don’t like GIFs, and if that’s you, that’s cool (but also, you probably shouldn’t give me your number). But for me, I […]
