The life-sized statue of the Gundam RX-78-2 in Odaiba, Tokyo, was dismantled this week, after years safeguarding Tokyo Bay since it first appeared in 2012.

Wait, So Killer Croc Lives Right Next To the Batcave in Injustice 2?

What makes a monster? It’s the central question at the heart of the disturbing indie flick The Transfiguration, which managed to horrify me in ways that I wasn’t expecting—even from a horror movie. The Transfiguration is a meta-deconstruction built on the bones of other movies that have tried to render the vampire myth down to…

The Magicians Is Becoming the Most Sexually Aware Show on TV

The Magicians is a show that’s full of contradictions. At times it’s refreshing and brilliant, but then it’s so silly I can’t believe an adult wrote the story. (At one point, there’s an actual forest of dick rocks.) But if there’s one thing it’s good at, it’s having a smart, thoughtful, and thoroughly progressive portrayal…

After apple pie and baseball, it’s hard to think of anything more American than giant weapons and fast food. So Steve Calvert, from YouTube’s Green Beetle channel, combined the two, using beer, bacon, and french fries to forge a “‘Murica!” knife that promises to at least make the country’s kitchens great again.

They were all lab-grown, and our lab-grown meat experts are bummed we were not invited to taste, too. Not that we would have been…
