You can find all the episodes here of this fun web series.

Behold THE VARIANTS, the Web comedy series that takes you behind the counter of your favorite comic book store.

THE VARIANTS is the brain child of Richard Neal, Joe Cucinotti and Ken Lowery. In early 2009, Richard, owner of the award-winning Zeus Comics, thought all the crazy stuff he saw in his store would make excellent fodder for a comedy series. Seeing the success of Web comedies like “The Guild,” Richard approached Joe and Ken – longtime friends, writers and regulars at the store – to help him develop the series.

The trio discussed and discarded several ideas, including making a faux-documentary-style comedy like “The Office” before settling on an absurd sitcom in the vein of “30 Rock” or “Arrested Development.”

The trio recruited Keli Wolfe and Barry Fuhrman (actual employees at Zeus) to play exaggerated versions of themselves. The group tried a couple Directors of Photography and Editors before choosing Luke Hawkins and Chris Williams, respectively, to give the show its look and feel.

Excited for this . . . seems right up my alley, and maybe yours too, if you like movies that have a chance of making you feel really uncomfortable

This is one movie that intrigues the hell out of me. It sparks a lot of memories of why I enjoyed “Contact” so much. This will for sure be a watch!

Looking forward to seeing this at C2E2, as there will be a panel showing on Saturday at the convention. Check it out!

In this riveting and gritty psychological-thriller, a young Brooklyn boy witnesses the brutal murder of his mother and grows up obsessed with finding her killer. Thus begins his life as a quiet, straight-A student by day and a self-appointed hero at night. But what is a real hero? And who decides what is right or wrong? As the boundaries blur, Sean’s dual life wears on his psyche and his two worlds careen dangerously close to colliding. Like a graphic novel you can’t put down, Boy Wonder challenges morality, distorting perceptions of what is right and what is justified, as it races to its shocking conclusion.

Um, I want to see this right now . . . right fucking now!

Coming next year from John Favreau is this movie that will hopefully put WILD WILD WEST to shame! Looking forward to this a lot, it looks to be a lot of fun.

So I have read a few stories about the “Monsters” movie that is coming out, and above is one of the first trailers for the film. It seems interesting, and the special effects seem all the more impressive when you realize they are supplied by one man doing them on his computer. Not only does Gareth Edwards do the special effects, he also writes, directs and get coffee for others . . . he is a one man crew!

A friend of the show and fellow geek/dork/hardcore homeboy, Brian Lyons (not the Brian we always mention on the show, this one is MUCH MUCH classier) has started up a pretty good blog detailing all aspects of his geekier side! Look for games, comic books, movies and if I get my wish, Huey Lewis and the News tributes to be featured on the site!

There is something magical about the lazy susan he takes photos of his comics/other keen stuff on . . . the wood grain pulls you in, almost hypnotizing you into reading on! I really looks forward to hearing him talk about the graphic novel “45″ (hint hint).

Also, if you can, I highly suggest following it RSS style or now off to the right side is an option to “follow” his blog with one of your social accounts. Not sure if we will add this to our site or not, but it is a great way to keep track and up to date on all the sites you follow that feature this option.
