May 22nd, 2017 This week, the original Star Wars (back then, not-yet-subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope) celebrates its 40th anniversary. Released May 25, 1977, it fundamentally changed pop culture for generations to come... but it wasn't the only big pop culture debut of the year. 1977 proved to be a landmark year in a number of ways, from arts to...

May 19th, 2017 Probably no other device in comics storytelling allows for as much flexibility – and let’s be honest, as much retcon too! – as alternate universes.  The notion of parallel Earths existing alongside our own has been at the center of many epic comics arcs over the years, as well as given us indelible characters. In Marvel Comics,...

May 18th, 2017 We asked followers on our Facebook page to assist in finishing the lyrics to this Star Wars version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody that we found on Pinterest. As per usual, our Looters did not disappoint us! We were extremely impressed with all those who participated, but wanted to give a shout out and showcase two Looters...

May 12th, 2017 We've spent some time celebrating The Goonies this month as part of our GUARDIANS theme, and all that reminiscing got us to thinking... and then, what did they do next? Where was the next adventure? The next awkwardly dated hairstyle?! Some of The Goonies' leads are active today in genre films, of course – Sean Astin went from The...

May 11th, 2017 The theme for May 2017 was Guardians, and here's a look at some exclusive behind the scenes action of our latest theme video!   Finding a space that could accommodate not only the interior of a space ship's living quarters, but also that of a cargo bay was the first challenge our crew had when scouting for the theme video....

May 1st, 2017 There's no shortage of incredibly talented artists and illustrators who work at Disney, but even among that high caliber Brian Kesinger has a style all his own. A veteran of many of Disney's amazing animated features of the past couple of decades, he's also a published illustrator of a delightful series of steampunk books and prints...

April 28th, 2017 It's really indisputable that the 1980's are the golden age of the music video; sure, fancy effects and movie-level cinematography came later. But there was no topping the 80's for sheer excitement for the medium... especially if you add movies to the mix. While in years since, it's impossible to count the number of videos that have...

April 27th, 2017 It's nearly May, which means the unofficial start of Summer (even if official Summer doesn't start until June. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is out next week... it's Summer, alright?!) And we don't know about your part of the country, but where Loot Crate's HQ is Los Angeles, we're already back up the occasional 90+ degree weather...

April 25th, 2017 Let's be honest, it really does seem like a long, long time ago. To tide us over in between Star Wars films when they first came out, we had comic books, rather awful holiday specials, and even a medium that by 1981 felt like a relic. Or one might say, a more elegant medium from a more civilized age... Four years after Episode IV: A...

April 21st, 2017 It was a galactically awesome night in Hollywood on Wednesday, as the premiere of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 went down at the Dolby Theatre.

April 18th, 2017 So many elements of Stranger Things' first season captured the time period of the early 1980's in a way that spoke to a whole generation of fans. And the music - not only the score, but the song choices - was an indelible part of that. Clearly we're anticipating more of the excitement, the chills, the incredible storytelling of Stranger...
