? Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles Complete First Season
I can see why the robots would make a Terminator that looks like an Austrian bodybuilder. But why would they make a Terminator that looks like a waifish, 16-year-old-looking girl? Answer: robots are pedophiles.
? Bleach Uncut Season 2 Boxset
Have you been buying the uncut Bleach box set instead of these uncut season boxsets? You’ve been ripped off. This is $40 for 21 episodes. That’s one hell of a deal for anime.
? The Scorpion King 2
Starring mixed-martial arts star Randy Couture. I know why professional wrestlers become actors?because they’ve done acting. What has Couture learned other than how to hit people and be hit?
? Transformers Animated Season One
If you don’t mind this, then go ahead and buy this set with my blessing.
? Justice League Season One
On Blu-ray, actually. So now you can see Superman stupidly fly into a laser, and sit unconscious for most of the episode until he wakes up at the end and saves everybody…in HD.
? Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers Collection 2
The final 33 episodes. Does anyone know who Jerry Orbach voiced on the show?
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
