Move over, Art Basel. Take a hike, Miami Book Fair International. Nothing is as intellectually stimulating or culturally relevant as a Wizard World Comic Con event. And this past weekend, we were lucky enough to spend some time at the Miami Airport Convention Center for just that, a good ol’…
How do you make a liger? Put a lion and tiger in close proximity and then light a few candles. And unicorns? They’re the offspring of a carousal horse and a My Little Pony. True story. Borscht Film Festival organizers realize that in order to breed something really special, you…

Sure, the majority of people who attend comic book conventions probably go to buy comics and other collectibles, meet has -been and wanna-be celebrities, and hope that they can finally find that elusive Yugi-Oh #46 card, which has been preventing them from having the ultimate collection. But some people (mostly…
Adam Carolla, the offspring of a special needs school teacher and “a welfare-food-stamp-depression-kind-of -70s-sit-around-the-house” mom, is anything but boring. His career accomplishments include his stint as the Pinky to Dr. Drew’s Brain on Loveline, drunkenly watching girls bounce on trampolines with Jimmy Kimmel on The Man Show, and he is…

I’m Chris Joseph. Hi. Hello. How are you. I’ll be live-blogging all 8,000 hours of the Oscars tonight. It’s like I’m hosting my very own Oscar party from my mother’s basement, dressed only in my underwear! Weeeeee!! LET’S DO THIS!…
We’ve got some rough looking characters in Miami, no doubt, but this is getting ridiculous. Just days after the details of Zombie Walk 2011 and hours after Cultist brought you an interview with a Zombie comic book artist, we hear more news about flesh eaters in the Magic City. And…
Sunday night is Oscar night. A night of glitz, glamour, shitty musical numbers, and acceptance speeches cut short by impatient producers who care more about Mr. Sulu selling the masses a color television set than the Oscar winner’s gratitude for their respective spouse and children. It’s also a night where the…
Remember some years back when it was cool to own pot bellied pigs as pets? Those porkers were pretty damn cute. But eventually you sat down for a meal and looked at your plate of bacon, ham, or pork chops, then down at old “Wilbur” and realized something was inherently…
When Cultist chatted with Cocaine Cowboy Director Billy Corben about an unofficial Hollywood remake of his Miami documentary, he was excited at the prospect even though his Miami studio Rakontur has nothing to do with that project. So you can imagine how psyched he was to talk about the HBO…
Arthur Suydam is the undisputed “zombie king” of the comic book universe. Although this writer, illustrator, and musician has worked on such iconic comic books as Heavy Metal, Batman, Conan, Tarzan, Predator, and Aliens, his infamy is due largely to the deliciously hellish covers he designs for the infinitely popular…

At 23, Pioneer Winter is something of a curiosity. He was born in South Miami, graduated from the dance magnet at Michael Krop high school in 2006, choreographed a show for the largest arts festival in the world in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2007, had his master’s degree in public health and epidemiology…
Nerd alert! We grew up crushing each others’ heads with our thumb and pointer finger. It’s all thanks to the genius of Kids in the Hall. Nerds we were, certainly, but ones with good taste and a sense of humor. Scott Thompson, one of those hilarious kids in said hall, developed a…
For over a decade, Miamians have watched and wondered about what’s going to happen to the South Pointe Pier. It’s tragically similar to the local Cuban situation: just sit and wait and see when they’ll open the border and let us back in. Likewise, it has been so long that–for…
Now that New World Symphony moved across the alley to the fancy Frank Gehry building, what’s to happen to the delicious art deco Lincoln Road Theatre? Well, if the Miami Herald is correct, part of it will be outfitted as Miami’s first H&M store next year. Many of you recognize…
You probably know Ernie Hudson because he once played a man who was afraid of no ghosts. But Hudson’s not only known for his role in the classic comedy Ghostbusters, he’s been in countless films and shows, including fan favorites like Oz, The Crow, and Heroes. Hudson was cast in the Broadway…

It’s hard not to think of a “deez nuts” joke when you hear about A Pair of Nuts. That seems fitting, considering comedians are usually a little nuts and these guys clearly appreciate a joke about balls. The comedy duo are bringing their 2011 tour to the 305 for one night only this…
Just a few months after from lampooning a naked and silver-spackled Kim Kardashian for our Basel cover, Bert Rodriguez is ready to join the queen of reality TV on the silver screen. The artist is the subject of Making Sh*t Up, a feature documentary film by the Miami-based contemporary art…
