    No one ever told Jeff Todd he was too old for Lego. Good thing, too, because Todd, an actor who grew up in Saskatoon, recently landed a role on the new Cartoon Network series Legends of Chima.

  • Are television shows created by women too heavily criticized?

    By June 9, 2012

    It’s no secret that women are funny and creative, just as it’s no secret that they have long been shut out of important positions behind the scenes in film and television.

  • Who in the world is Frank Welker? (Hint: you’ll probably recognize his voice)

    By January 27, 2012

    Back in October 2011, Samuel L. Jackson was crowned the biggest movie star in the world due to his movies accumulating the highest overall box office total. While I find total movie grosses to be a poor indicator of who the biggest movie star in the world is — my gut tells me that Will Smith or Brad Pitt are more famous globally — I’ll play along.

    When I first heard this box office number, my reaction was to shout an emphatic “Wrong!” — after which I puffed my inhaler and went back to organizing my action figures. Why were my nerd alarms so dramatically sounded that day? Because I love the truth, and the truth of the matter is that there is one actor whose total career gross is larger than Samuel L. Jackson’s, and not by a small amount.

    To my surprise, most people I talk to haven’t heard of The Walking Dead. Even worse, when I explain that it’s a post-apocalyptic zombie show, most people get turned off and are not interested in anything else I have to say.

    The Walking Dead is about so much more than just zombies. It is a show about a family, nearly torn apart by unforeseen events and forced to protect themselves against the (in)human monsters of the night after civilization has collapsed.
