At this point, anything is up for grabs in the Marvel Universe right? I think Melissa would make an interesting Squirrel Girl. Just a thought.


If you’re a fan of Scott Pilgriim vs the World, then this is for you. Brie Larson gave us her rendition of the song Black Sheep from the movie.
Look, it’s a slow day in Scoop-Ville ok, plus I like this movie and Brie and sing, so yeah. I like it.


And I know we just finished Christmas, but there may be something to look forward to for next Christmas already. Twisted Sister is thinking of recording a few new Christmas songs and re-releasing their Christmas album, A Twisted Christmas for it’s 15th anniversary.
You’re Welcome.
