Humanoid Robot Pushes You Away When You Invade Its Private Space [Video]
Ok, this is highly unsettling! Watch as Ameca the humanoid robot interacts with someone who enters its “private” space. The fact that it can push you away when you boop it on the nose is kind of freaking me out.
Here’s another video demonstrating the facial expressions of one of Engineered Arts’ robotic heads:
STUDIO 666: A Foo Fighters Horror Movie Featuring Dave Grohl Playing the Role of… Dave Grohl!
It’s undeniable: Dave Grohl is a god amongst music nerds, hence his place here, on Geeks are Sexy. Here is the trailer for the upcoming Foo Fighters horror movie, Studio 666, featuring the one and only Dave Grohl… playing the role of… you guessed it… Dave Grohl!
In STUDIO 666, the legendary rock band Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history to record their much anticipated 10th album. Once in the house, Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.
The only think missing from this trailer? Sam and Dean from Supernatural saving the day. Yep, a few rock salt shotgun shells, some demon traps, and a well timed exorcism incantation would be all that’s needed to save the band!

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Hawkeye!
From Screen Rant:
After more than a decade in the MCU, Hawkeye is finally getting to be the lead in a Marvel project. Kind of. With the popularity of streaming having revolutionized the media industry since the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney is attempting to catch up and capitalize on the change by putting out a BUNCH of series starring their well-known characters.
Hawkeye definitely raises some questions though. Like is Hawkeye even the main character? Is that dog’s health okay after eating all that pizza? Why does Kingpin have an army of cartoon characters? Why is Clint so cool with all those LARPers risking their lives? How did Kate survive an encounter with Kingpin and how did her mom sneak in a moving vehicle? WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE GUYS THAT WERE TAKEN BY THE OWL?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Hawkeye! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

2021 [Comic]
A comic by Lunar Baboon that was posted in early 2021 about 2020, but it also applies to what we’re going through right now. And be sure to replace Alex Trebek from 2020 with Betty White. Yep, the end of 2021 sucked big time.
