?? Justice League: Doom
Out digitally last week, out in physical form this week. Remember, it chronicles one of Batman’s few defeats.
? Hugo
I don’t know if some of you might count Martin Scorsese’s film as fantasy or maybe just a tribute to very old sci-fi cinema, but in case you do, it’s coming out today.
? My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Friendship Express
Five episodes. For the record, I approve of MLP:FIM, but reading the Amazon reviews on this thing is just terrifying.
? Princess Jellyfish: The Complete Series
? Fritz Lang’s The Spiders
? Pac-Man: The Complete First Season
You know, I totally forgot that in this ridiculous Pac-Man cartoon, the ghosts worked for an evil wizard named Mezmaron, who wanted Pac-Land’s power pellets. How fucked up is that? Seriously, Hanna Barbera? Four evil ghosts weren’t enough for you? There had to be a wizard controlling them all? God, I’d love to have been in that cartoon pitch meeting.
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.
