The Lego Movie 2 – Video and Lyrics to Not Evil (by Tiffany Haddish)
In a Lego Movie sequel full of big musical earworm hits, Tiffany Haddish managed to pull the house down with her showstopper Not Evil, as Queen Whatevra Wa’nabi explains that while she’s a completely totalitarian Duplo Queen, she’s honestly just sweet and loving, and completely misunderstood. (Also, her name makes meta sense if you say…

Are the Four Lego Movies Sequels or Prequel Films?
As an adult, I’m surprised at how fun these Lego movies are. Are Legos considered kids’ toys? Or are Legos nostalgic and expensive boxed kits for adults who refuse grow up? Let’s take a look at how each Lego movie fits into the series so far. They all have adult humor mixed in with exciting…

I somehow missed this little video treat over the holidays, and maybe you did too. On the eve of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, it’s worth taking a peek at this short Christmas one-off taking place in the apocalyptic ruins of Bricksburg and the Lego Movie crew (including Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, and…

Chris Pratt and the Lego Cast go to Space Camp
This adorable spoof of a reality show about which Lego actor gets to become a space-person is really cute/interesting/funny. Something we at RunPee find continually amusing is how RunPee Dan used to work at Space Camp, and RunPee Jilly worked at Astro Camp, both in the days of our youth. Sometimes geekland is a small…

Queen – You’re My Best Friend Video & Lyrics from Shaun of the Dead
The classic zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead features not one, but two Queen songs in their wonderfully amusing British zombie film from 2004. Don’t Stop Me Now is definitely the better showstopper, but You’re My Best Friend is a great end track. If you haven’t seen this fantastic movie (it’s not scary — I promise!)…

A Stomping Good Time at the Tournament – Video and Lyrics to We Will Rock You from A Knight’s Tale
When Brian May told his group members in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody he wanted the audience to be the instrument for one of their rock songs, I realized just how brilliant the rest of the band was: it’s not all about the immortal Freddie Mercury. All these men had something special, and the glorious anthem…

Don’t Stop Me Now – Video and Lyrics by Queen in Shaun of the Dead
I have two favorite funny zombie films, and alongside the awesome Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead is a near perfect zom-rom-com. (It’s also a great satire about modern man and modern life.) One of the best scenes features the Winchester Pub Team attacking the bar-owner-turned-zombie with pool cues, synchronized to the strains of the classic…

Waking up to Deadpool – Lyrics and Opening Scene from Angel of the Morning
I’m not a morning person. That’s why I keep my Alexa unit close to the bed, so I can shake off the cobwebs by playing Juice Newtown’s Angel of the Morning. It’s a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies the gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine…
