The very best in geek and comic entertainment.
Thanks YouTube
I started to watch YouTube videos when I was just nine-years-old. I would fight over the computer with my sister so that I could watch Blair Fowler, aka, Juicystar07, apply bright blue eyeshadow to her lids. I would then spend the following hours watching Shay Carl raise his kids. No matter who I was watching at the time, I was in love with the whole concept. The idea that these people walked around the grocery store with a camera in hand or sat in their room talking to a camera fascinated me.
Katie CurtPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Best Fiction Podcasts I Listened to in 2017
I spend a lot of time with sound coming out of my phone, earbuds in or not. My Spotify year in review came out as 122.7 days of listening to music because I listen to it while I sleep and study and do just about anything. But that doesn't even begin to hit on the podcasts I listened to on the Apple Podcast app. Working all summer with people I didn't share a whole lot in common with, or doing a lot of work on my own meant I needed something to keep me from going insane. So to podcasts I turned. I had listened to Welcome to Night Vale and Alice Isn't Dead, and a few episodes of Serial, but beyond that, I really didn't know what to listen to.

I was walking from my car to a small dive bar. I passed a large comedy club where I know the manager very well, who was standing out front. We hug and exchange pleasantries then he says, “Did you want to see the set tonight?”

Although it has been rumored for some time, the official announcement came in mid December that Disney would acquire a majority of 21st Century Fox for an astounding $52.4 billion.

Katie BurnsidePublished 7 years ago in GeeksAvengers: No Surrender—Here's Why Marvel's next Event Is a Bad Idea
It's been a rough year for Marvel. The House of Ideas has been struggling to deal with both declining sales figures and controversial arcs, although they did begin to fight back in April this year, holding the first Retailer Summit of the millennium in order to prove that they were listening.
The DC Extended Universe Isn't the Official Term Because It Started out as a Joke
Nowadays, fans and critics alike are used to talking about the DC Extended Universe. But where did the term come from? Surprisingly, we've just learned that the phrase never originated with Warner Bros. In fact, insiders at DC Film never use it at all. That remarkable revelation has sent one journalist on a quest to learn the history of an expression that's become common currency among superhero fans.
Forget Recasting Hugh Jackman: Fox Already Has a New Wolverine, and Her Name Is Dafne Keen
Only six months ago, X-Men fans said goodbye to a figure who'd become a living legend in the mutant community. Hugh Jackman finally bowed out as Wolverine, popping his claws for the last time in a brooding, atmospheric Western that was like no other superhero film we've seen before. Fox is justifiably proud of the film, even pushing it for an Oscar nomination.
A Tale Of Two Relaunches — How 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' & 'Marvel's Spider-Man' Compare
Earlier this year, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures partnered together to launch the new Spider-Man trilogy, and Spider-Man: Homecoming was a tremendous success. Now, Marvel Animation has launched its own new iteration of Spider-Man in a new and tremendously fun animated series. Set just two weeks after Peter Parker was bitten by that radioactive spider, Marvel's Spider-Man charts his early days as a superhero, much like Homecoming. But how do these two Spider-Man relaunches compare?
Marvel Fan Theory: Are The Celestials The Surprise Main Villains Of 'Avengers 4'?
Next year, the tenth anniversary of the MCU, will see Earth's Mightiest Heroes team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy in battle against Thanos. But here's the strange thing: Infinity War seems to lead straight into Avengers 4, due for release a year later. And Marvel is still holding back the title of this next film; Kevin Feige has explicitly stated that it would be a spoiler of some kind. There were brief rumors that the movie's title is actually Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet, but those have been dismissed by James Gunn — and besides, that would be the title everybody's kind of expecting, so it would hardly constitute a spoiler.
