Is there a huge plot twist coming up in the Game of Thrones? Jason Momoa (who played Khal Drogo) has been posting some Instragrams that have left people wondering if his character is returning to Game of Thrones.  Fueling the fire (aside from his Khaleesi) is the fact that he’s …

The Star Wars Cantina music is pretty catchy and seems like a happenin’ spot.  Well, aside from potentially getting shot if you are a bounty hunter. Now, an actual Star Wars Cantina is opening. From Nerdist: We’re excited to exclusively announce the Scum and Villainy Cantina is coming to Hollywood …

One of the newest products to Kickstarter is Sharknado: the Board Game. The first thing that stands out to me is a list of quotes from reviewers on the Kickstarter page. True to Sharknado style, they included the review of someone who simply wrote, “Why?” I’m excited though, because if you’ve …

I wrote about the Golden Girls restaurant that is opening up in September in NYC. Today I found out there is a little-known season of the Golden Girls that aired after the “final season” when Bea Arthur left the show. It contains the same theme song, and features Sophia, Rose, and …

No, this isn’t a dream I had last night.  (Though once, I dreamed that an army of storm troopers started tap dancing to Tea for Two). I’m sadly serious about that. A group of children from  École de l’Harmonie elementary school in Quebec, Canada dressed up as jedi and disguised their bows as lightsabers while …

In the category of things I CANNOT MAKE UP IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, Jamie Lee Curtis cosplayed as a World of Warcraft Orc Shaman at AwesomeCon last weekend in DC. She joined her son, an Orc Warrior. While I’m personally Alliance and not Horde, I’ll still allow the awesomeness of this. …

I’m a customer of Grubhub.  They are what I use when I’m guilty of ordering a little too much take out. Despite already making a light dinner, I was intrigued by the Game of Thrones promo email they sent me. Here’s what they promised: Grubhub has joined forces with HBO NOW …
