The Legend of Krod Mandoon Begins Tonight
| Krod Mandoon | Thurs Apr 9, 10p/9c |
| Preview – Enter the Freedom Fighters | |
At 10pm EST, specifically. I’m not 100% sold on Comedy Central’s new show Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, but I think a Hercules/Xena-style adventure series is pretty ripe for parody, and I’ll definitely be giving it the benefit of the doubt. And hey, John Rhys-Davies is in it! It’s not like that guy would agree to star in something he didn’t 100% believe would be awesome! He picks his projects with the utmost care and discrepancy, that Rhys-Davies.
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.
