OFFICIAL: Slice of Film Joins WOBAM Entertainment!
WOBAM’s been through many phases of existence, and Katie Rentschler has been there through most of them. Having served as Deputy Editor and web designer for our site, she stepped away in 2019 to pursue other ventures like Full Circle Cinema, Geek Ultimate Alliance, Revenge of the Fans, and her own blog, Slicer Scribbles. Obviously we’ve stayed in touch, and what’s been exciting is watching Katie grow in these creative ventures. With WOBAM also experiencing a new and exciting phase of growth, the opportunity presented itself for us to work together again and offer a home for Katie’s podcast, Slice of Film. Part of the Geek Ultimate Alliance podcasting network,…

OFFICIAL: The Double Turn Podcast Joins WOBAM Entertainment!
It’s not everyday we get a request to bring new content to WOBAM, and it’s rare for that talent’s passion for a topic to win you over completely. WOBAM is no stranger to wrestling content, but we’ve never fully embraced it as a staple. Pro Wrestling is full of the same tropes found in comics and superhero stories, both genres contain larger than life characters, and figures from the ring have graced the small and silver screens with growing frequency. As we seek to grow a platform where creators can share their passions with others and foster community, we are proud to announce that The Double Turn Podcast is joining…

OFFICIAL: Revenge of the Fans joins WOBAM Entertainment – THE FANBOY PODCAST, HOPS AND BOX OFFICE FLOPS, and more!
We used to joke in our group chat about buying Revenge of the Fans for $1. Mario-Francisco Robles never would have sold it, of course, and it was worth way more than a buck, but the thought was always amusing since we were something of a sister site. A lot has changed with our sites in the last couple years. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyday life, and many of us are in different places than we were a couple years ago. The landscape of geek journalism is ever changing too, with news being carried by larger sites and the rumor mill shifting towards Twitter. With these changing landscapes, new…

OFFICIAL: Changing of the Guard and New Horizons in 2021
This website’s been on one heck of a journey. What started in 2013 as a little blog called Watchtower of Babel has grown far more than I could have ever imagined. To date we’ve published nearly 4,000 articles, graduated college, started careers, gotten married, survived a shutdown, weathered a global pandemic, and somehow this little site has kept on going. I joined the old Watchtower crew in 2017, and people I’ve met here have become lifelong friends. The site we now know as WOBAM Entertainment draws its greatest strength from being a beacon where fans can express themselves with likeminded people. We shun toxic fandom and embrace being a platform…

WOBAM! Entertainment is Back and Better Than Ever
In April 2019, we at WOBAM! Entertainment disbanded our writing team, marking the end of the website. It was a mutual decision based on where our professional and personal lives were at the time, among other factors. Of course, in the world of comic books and fantasy characters, death is not always a permanent thing. And now, based on mutual interest from everyone on our team, the same can be said for our website. We are thrilled to announce the revival of WOBAM! Entertainment. The site will return with new posts covering fandom’s biggest topics. However, there will be some key differences from our old approach. Specifically, we will be…

THE POWER OF FANDOM – A WOBAM Story
There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. Nick Fury That was Marvel’s The Avengers, and while this story is nowhere near as grand, it saved my life. From the outside WOBAM! Entertainment might seem like your typical nerd blog. We covered everything from news, reviews, editorials, and even a podcast. That’s not even close to what WOBAM was. It was a family. Paul Romano began to this project alone but somehow cultivated a culture so pure and welcoming that no matter who came and went, it still was…

OFFICIAL: The End of WOBAM! Entertainment
To say the least, WOBAM! Entertainment has been one heck of a journey. In late 2013, I launched the first iteration, Watchtower of Babel News. Then, in 2017, I kicked off sister site Astonishing Marvels, before merging the sites together a year later. After much time and energy spent putting it together, the WOBAM! Entertainment site is what it is today. I can’t go any further without giving a heartfelt thank you to every single person who has ever been involved with WOBAM. I have worked with so many amazing writers, and we launched a great podcast series. I have developed many incredible friendships as a result of our collaboration.…

TAKING A STAND: Why We Will Not Be Covering Bryan Singer’s RED SONJA (Or His Future Endeavors)
It’s not everyday that we, the staff of WOBAM! Entertainment, face a moral quandary. But in light of resurfaced allegations against X-Men director Bryan Singer, we feel compelled to draw some necessary lines. Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, Bohemian Rhapsody) currently faces multiple accusations of sexual misconduct against a minor. These are serious accusations that the media has largely ignored; past allegations and a 2017 lawsuit against Singer were swept under the rug, and we were fast made to forget about them. Then the Me Too movement happened, and those allegations slowly resurfaced. Now this week, an expose by The Atlantic tells a darker picture of his escapades. As a comic…
