With Sharknado 5 making a splash on TV screens across the globe these past few weeks, what better time to visit the world of The Asylum? With a myriad of films under their belt, from their beginnings as king of the mockbuster to their foray into original film making, it’s no secret we’re big fans of these bastions of the direct to DVD market and have reviewed a Lot of their output! With that in mind, here’s my pick of the Top 5 (because it’s Sharknado Five… geddit?!?) movies from The Asylum in – shock, horror – order of preference…

5) Avengers Grimm

An off-the-wall mix of Grimm Fairy tale characters and superhero team-up movies which, frankly, should have been obvious given the title, Avengers Grimm’s plot is relatively simple: when Rumpelstiltskin uses the Magic Mirror to escapes to the modern world taking Snow White with him and destroying the mirror in the process,...

Earlier this week, Marvel held the first ever press screenings for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the early reactions are largely positive, although it's not quite a sweeping critical hit. While most fans will have to wait a few more weeks to see Guardians 2 on the big screen, the cast and crew will be joined by a number of fans and other celebrities in Los Angeles for the world premiere tonight, but even if you aren't in L.A., you can watch all of the action right here. Marvel will be hosting a live stream of the festivities, which you can watch in the video player below, starting at 6 Pm Pt/9 Pm Et.

The live stream will be hosted on Marvel's YouTube page and on Marvel.com, where there will also be a live blog. Marvel has confirmed that stars from the movie who will be appearing are Kurt Russell,...

Stars: Casper Van Dien, Lauren Parkinson, Lou Ferrigno, Milynn Sarley, Marah Fairclough, Rileah Vanderbilt, Elizabeth Peterson, Kimo Leopoldo, Henry Foster Brown, Jonathan Medina, Daniel Nemes | Written and Directed by Jeremy M. Inman

Sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and know it’s perfect for you… that was Avengers Grimm for me. So much so that I specifically hunted down a copy for review!

An off-the-wall mix of Grimm Fairy tale characters and superhero team-up movies which, frankly, should have been obvious given the title, Avengers Grimm is the latest film from the schlockmeisters The Asylum – you know, those folks behind such films as Transmorphers, Hercules Reborn, Sharknado and a myriad of other mockbusters, cash-ins and giant sea creature movies.

Like many and Asylum movie, the plot is relatively simple: when Rumpelstiltskin uses the Magic Mirror to escapes to the modern world taking Snow White with him and destroying the mirror in the process,...

The Adventures of the League of S.T.E.A.M. web series continues with “Here Comes the Bride” – in this fun short, a duo of eccentric inventors decide to construct the perfect woman for their lovelorn colleague… but of course, hilarity quickly ensues!

The series is known for its enthusiastic references to pop-culture classics – look for nods to Weird Science, Star Trek, Bride of Frankenstein, and many more. Milynn Sarley … Continue reading →

Meghan Trainor’s song "All About That Bass" is so catchy and addicting to listen to. Nerdist presents a Team Unicorn music video parody that mixes in Star Wars references called "All About That Base: No Rebels."

Team Unicorn is not the first to make a Star Wars parody using that hook. Youtube user Liminal Jay created a music video parody three days before Halloween. Team Unicorn did a much better job in my opinion in terms of lyrics, dancing, costumes, and references to both the original music video and Star Wars.

Details about the music video via Nerdist:

Meghan Trainor’s sassy “All About That Bass” has taken a trip to the galaxy far, far away in our latest Nerdist Presents: a new Team Unicorn music video! The Unicorns have dressed in Empire attire, brought in dancing stormtroopers and astromechs, added some Darth Sidious, and made the popular song an Imperial anthem.

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim announced today that production has begun on "The Team Unicorn Saturday Action Fun Hour!" pilot and revealed the first image from the production along with their official cast announcement. Danger Maiden Productions' Clare Grant and Rileah Vanderbilt are executive producing and starring alongside original "Team Unicorn" member Milynn Sarley ("How I Met Your Mother") and Alison Haislip ("Attack of the Show") as both Team Unicorn and their cartoon counterparts. Jane Lynch ("Glee") voices the villainous Dark Puba, Alan Tudyk ("Firefly") voices her sidekick, Chummy Cherub, Tara Strong ("The Fairly Odd Parents") voices Billy, the boy with the ability to summon Team Unicorn, and Kevin Shinick ("Mad") is the show's announcer, a staple of the cartoon shows that inspired the pilot. Check out the photo below!

Production is underway on the Team Unicorn Saturday Action Fun Hour! pilot for Adult Swim. Penned by Dan Milano (Greg The Bunny) and inspired by the Team Unicorn cartoons, the pilot is described as a modern twist on Saturday morning-style cartoon/live-action hybrid shows, but for adults. It follows the adventures of the four mythical heroines who masquerade as human girls. Danger Maiden Prods’ Clare Grant and Rileah Vanderbilt executive produce and star alongside original Team Unicorn member Milynn Sarley (How I Met Your Mother) and Alison Haislip (Attack Of The Show) as both Team Unicorn and their cartoon counterparts. Jane Lynch (Glee, Hollywood Game Night) voices the villainous Dark Puba; Alan Tudyk (Suburgatory) voices her sidekick, Chummy Cherub; Tara Strong (The Fairly OddParents) voices Billy, the boy with the ability to summon Team Unicorn; and Kevin Shinick (Mad) is the show’s announcer. Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and...

If you are sick of hearing about the hot geek girl phenomena--too bad. I'm going to talk about it again and you will have to deal with it. Personally, the hot geek girl "problem" annoys me. It annoys me solely because it's a problem that there are hot geeks. Who fucking cares again? Oh right, almost everyone. And That is a problem.

The thing is, very few people come out of the womb hot. When you start off exploring your inner geek self, slowly and with a mirror in the privacy of your bedroom, you are probably young and not yet at the stage where it is acceptable to shower every day. Get it? The majority of these hot geek girls were probably geeks before they were hot. I mean it. Hollywood does crazy things to people--like give them money so that they can buy nice clothes, have someone do...

Tons of clips in today's update, so keep scrolling till you see Patton Oswalt. ;)

The second part of the interview The Gaming Liberty did with Bear McCreary has been posted (hit the link for the whole thing). No updates on Blood and Chrome after all. Here are a couple of quotes about Caprica & BSG (note - he is working on an *extended* Caprica soundtrack):

Retroplayer - So with Caprica being cancelled without the chance of a second series and BSG over are you proud of the work you did on them overall? How do you feel looking back?

Bear - I’m very proud of the work I did and contributions I made in helping to create a universe on those two series. I feel that BSG had such a profound influence on my life that even to try and talk about it is a fools errand. It changed me personally,...

Odds are if you’re surfing B3K, you have a little geek in you. Odds are if you have a little geek in you, you’ve heard of Milynn Sarley. Hailed by some as the ‘the coolest lady ever’, Milynn has starred in numerous ‘Team Unicorn’ videos which have gone viral, Hosted G4TV’s Attack of the Show! and she’s probably the only person who keeps Chuck Norris from sleeping soundly at night. I got to sit down with Miss Sarley and discuss Anime, guns and world domination.

Aaron M.K.: On your twitter account you say that you’re girl geek and technically you don’t exist, what started you down the path of geekdom?

Milynn Sarley: It was never “Hey I’m gonna set out on a path to become a geek!” My dad was a teenager when I was born and my Aunts,...

Sit back and enjoy...

Our awesome self-professed geek girl friends Rileah Vanderbilt and Clare Grant, along with Michele Boyd and Milynn Sarley, are 'Team Unicorn'. In this music video parody of Katy Perry's 'California Girls', they sing about how much they Love video games and sci-fi. The girls are hot. The men? Er... just watch.

Though I would have much rather seen a muscular hunk Conan swinging a sword in the background of this film rather than the geeks they Do have jumping around, I guess the whole point is to look at the girls and not the men behind them in the background. What can I say? I'm a straight female pervert and I like to get my jock on with an imaginary Conan. In any case, make sure you 'get' the cameos by Katee Sackhoff and Stan Lee!!! And that is Seth Green introducing the video!
