And Now, a Very Special Message from The Goon
Unfortunately, the message is not “Yes, the CG Goon movie is finally coming out, to theaters or DVD, because there is actually a god in the universe and he loves nerds.” No, instead it’s a PSA on what to do if you encounter a slack-jawed member of the undead on your way home at night. This is actually the clip of the still-in-production-limbo movie based on the awesome Eric Powell comic that ran at SDCC in 2009, apparently, just now surfacing on the world wide tubernets; I’m not sure why it showed up now, but I’m glad it did. Every single minute of Clancy Brown voicing a CG Goon is a moment well-spent. (Via io9)

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.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
