?? Dark Skies: The Declassified Complete Series
I hope some of you guys like Dark Skies, otherwise tomorrow’s going to be a rough day.
? Merlin: The Complete Second Season
I know this show is for teens, but does it have tons of nudity like Skins? Anyone know? Because I love the idea of Excalibur for teens.
? Death Race 2
I find it hilarious that although it’s called Death Race 2, it’s a prequel. Kind of sums up the whole project, don’t you think?
? Marvel Knights: Black Panther
Is this the cartoon series or motion comic? I can never tell.
? Hey Vern, It’s Ernest! The Complete Series
So yesterday I mentioned I grew up in Kentucky. Lexington, to be precise — an actual city, that’s almost completely suburban, and situated next to both the South and the Midwest to the extent that really, it’s kind of neither. It’s just bland. The point is, once I tell people I’m from Kentucky, I generally try to point out I’m not anywhere near a redneck. On the other hand, Jim Varney — better known as Ernest P. Worrell — actually went to my high school, so maybe I better shut the hell up.
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.
