We Hurt After Watching This Musical Journey Through the Life of Wolverine

The choice to use Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” for the Logan trailer certainly sent a message. This is going to be a very different superhero movie than what we’re used to. But what happens if you take that song, and the mournful mood it generates, and stretch it back into the previous films? Darth … Continued

Every Movie Ending Is Improved By That One Stupid Dire Straits Song

Even if you don’t know the Dire Straits song “Walk of Life” by name you’ll recognize it immediately when you hear it. Fun fact: It’s the perfect song to end any movie. At least that’s the contention of the Walk of Life Project, the brainchild of Peter Salomone, a freelance video editor and writer. And … Continued

This Mad Max/Adventure Time Cartoon Is Shiny and Chrome Beyond Imagining

Hey, remember that bewilderingly awesome Adventure Time and Mad Max: Fury Road mash-up art made by Ryan May? Well, Egor Zghun has taken it into the world of animation, and the results are just as fantastic. Now, if someone would please make an entire shot-for-shot Adventure Time-themed remake of Fury Road, that would be a … Continued

Mad Max‘s Imperator Furiosa Gets The Unbreakable Theme Song She Deserves

Females are strong as hell, whether they’ve lived most of their lives in a bomb shelter sequestered from humanity or are driving a giant war-rig across the post-apocalyptic wasteland. So it makes sense that someone would modify The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s theme song to suit Fury Road’s star. Correction! The amazing song was composed by … Continued

See The Best Star Wars Vs. Star Trek Movie 1985 Never Made

I know you can’t swing a dead cat GIF on the internet without hitting some kind of Star Wars/Star Trek mash-up. But still, I highly recommend you take 80 seconds of your life to watch this trailer for The Carbonite Maneuver, which is not only exceedingly well done but actually looks… well, kind of real. … Continued

Adam West And Christopher Reeve’s Batman V Superman Trailer Is Perfect

Did you find this weekend’s new Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer a bit… dark? Well, YouTube user Bobby Burns has just improved it considerably by replacing Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill with footage of Adam West’s Batman and Christopher Reeve’s Superman. It’s outstanding. If nothing else, it brings a tiny bit of fun … Continued

This Jean-Claude Van Damme/My Little Pony Team Up Is Pure Magic

Screw friendship. Sure, it may be magic in the My Little Pony cartoon, but it can’t possibly compare to the majesty and insanity of watching Jean-Claude Van Damme pay a visit to Equestria in this incredible mash-up. Seriously, stop everything you are doing and watch it — you will not be disappointed. [Via Geeks Are … Continued

Ron Solo Thinks You Should Let The Hagrid Win

We’ve featured the amazing mash-ups of James Hance previously, but holy hell has he outdone himself with this piece, where he puts Rupert Grint and Robbie Coltrane, as their Harry Potter characters Ron Weasley and Hagrid, as the two most famous scoundrels of the Star Wars universe. Then there’s this: Unfortunately, these are the only … Continued

Walter White Breaks Frozen, Sings “Do You Want To Build A Meth Lab?”

All right, everybody. We’ve done it. We’ve officially mashed-up Frozen with everything, including a show about a science teacher who becomes a ruthless drug empire kingpin (and somehow it works out disturbingly well, I must say). Everyone give yourself a high-five and let’s call it a day, okay?

This Interstellar/Spaceballs Trailer Mash-Up Is Ludicrously Perfect

Yeah, yeah, I love the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer at least as much as the rest of you. But I’m still going to have to decree the greatest trailer released in the last 24 hours to be this one, which combines the somber score for Interstellar with the few non-ridiculous moments from Mel … Continued

Doctor Who Sings Rocky Horror‘s “Time Warp” As Fate Always Intended

It seems like the most obvious mash-up of all time in retrospect.

I believe Torchwood’s Captain Jack Harkness singing “Rose Tint My World” should be next on the agenda, don’t … Continued
