We are a collective of nerdy voices. You will find reviews, ramblings, essays, pontifications, nonsense... mostly nonsense. We gravitate toward movies, music and comics but nothing is out of our nerdy scope. You'll find a lot of trailers and posters, if you want the latest movie casting news, there are 100 other rumor mills out there, we try and stick to confirmed news and reviews. If you are looking for deep meaning and esoteric discussions; you'll be sad. But don't fear, we will over analyze and find meaning where there is none. This is the stuff you could, but choose not to, live without.

I started this website in May of 2010 as a place to air my nerdy ramblings on movies and music. When I realized there were a lot more nerds with equally expansive opinions on all things pop culture, I opened the doors to anyone with a keyboard. I studied film editing at Columbia College Chicago, but design websites and papery goodies to bring in the actual do-re-mi.

Rebel Rikki is a freelance writer and musician living in the south suburbs of Chicago. Also, he used to own a comic book store. His favorite author in any medium is Grant Morrison, and he pretty much worships at the altar of Bruce Springsteen.

Serial, Super Serial: Tomorrow Never Dies by Grisly Gunnar
Super Serial aims to dissect series of pop art — be it a filmography, discography or run of comics — by looking at its individual components.
