  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Teachers and Race by the Numbers July 30, 2020
    My friend posted this meme. It supposedly asks you to reflect on your life and potential racism, but what does it really mean? The original person who posed this question graduated from Trenton State College in 1962 and went on to the University of Idaho in 1969.  She had never had a black male teacher, […]

  • SDCC2020 @Home: HBO Max Looney Tunes & Bugs at 80 July 27, 2020
    This star’s hair may be grey and white, but it’s always been that way and he’s as spry as he was in 1940, when he made his first appearance under the name he is now known under: Bugs Bunny. At 80, Bugs Bunny is getting a 55-cent forever stamp issued this week (27 July 2020) […]

    Moderator Brian Ward of “The Arkham Session” posed four topics to pop culture psychologists Dr. Drea Letamendi (“Lattes with Leia”) and Dr. Ali Mattu (“The Psych Show”) and special guests Todd Stashwick (“Star Trek: Enterprise”) and Jennifer Muro (“Star Wars: Forces of Destiny”) to analyze “The Psychology of Star Trek versus Star Wars.” Ward did a […] […]

  • SDCC2020 @Home: The Mandalorian and His Many Gadgets July 25, 2020
    Before we knew that “Hamilton” was going to Disney +, one of the main reasons for subscribing was “The Mandalorian.” Created by Jon Favreau, the first season of the Star Wars series had eight episodes and introduced baby Yoda, who is known as the Child. For this panel, “The Mandolorian and His Many Gadgets,” the […]

    The Original Series Star Trek beamed into your house free as did “The Next Generation,” but the future of Star Trek is paid-for-streaming with CBS All Access where you can catch “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Star Trek: Picard” and the new animated series, “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” Moderated by Deadline’s senior editor, Dominic Patten, this panel […] […]

  • SDCC2020 @Home: The Science of Back to the Future July 24, 2020
    While the panel was advertised with the leading line “Flux Capacitor, hoverboards, flying cars, and time travel,” only time travel was discussed. The panel was promoting the new Back to the Future story out of IDW that crosses over with the Transformers. Basically, they are taking a movie trilogy that I love and joining it […]

    What can one say about a movie that was supposed to be in theaters 13 April 2018, then 22 February 2019, then 2 August 2019, the 3 April 2020, and now 28 August 2020.  You are probably thinking either: Will theaters finally be open or Disney just put it out on Disney +! Writer/Director Josh […]

  • ‘Psych: The Movie’–Full Summary July 15, 2020
    In case you’ve forgotten, “Psych: The Movie” began with a Christmas carol and found Shawn Spencer (James Roday) in San Francisco on a ship making a deal with a high profile fence, El Proveedor (Robert LaSardo).
