Forget Fall Out Boy: The Japanese Ghostbusters Theme Is The Only One You Need!
Sure, the trailer may be the most disliked video on YouTube ever, but there is no denying that the all female Ghostbusters certainly has people talking. The writing is on the wall on whether the reboot film is moving too far away from the Bill Murray-packed campy-comedy from 1984, and we won't know until July 15. As much as the original film (and sequel) were made by the stellar cast, there is no denying that Ghostbusters would have be nothing without its theme song and synonymous "I ain't afraid of no ghost."

Comic Excitement 2017 Was Bad for Attendees, Worse For Vendors
Comic Excitement Convention had its debut from Saturday, January 14th, to Sunday, January 15th and I had the chance to go. This was a first-year convention, but I had high hopes given two things. The success of Nerd Bot Con last year which became my reference point for what I can expect from a first-year con and the price of admission which was $49 for both Saturday and Sunday.

Episode 9 is stereotypically your big hitter of the season, but the promo for Episode 10 doesn't show any sign of the action slowing down. By the looks of it, there will be a courtroom drama over at King's Landing as Cersei AND Loras face their trials, as well as your usual ice and fire strife. With this in mind, let's run down who is most likely to 'hold the door' in the season finale and joining the Game of Thrones ever growing In Memoriam section.
