April 22nd, 2025 was a pretty big day for fans of the Elder Scrolls series. The franchise hasn’t seen a mainline release since 2011 with “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.” Sure, there was that announcement of “Elder Scrolls VI” back several years ago, but we haven’t heard anything about it since. What was being heard around corners of the internet though were rumors of a remastering of “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.” It was the internet’s worst kept secret over the last couple months and it was confirmed and released on the same day. Which also makes it a good…

Toys “R” Us has had a wild ride, hasn’t it? Once the premiere name in retail stores for kids, it is now an absolute shell of its former self. In the United States it has been reduced to pop-up stores in Macy’s and back in 2023 they were planning on expanding into airports and cruise ships. Still, the name recognition of the brand is such that even if you haven’t shopped there in decades, you more than likely know the name. That’s one of the reasons Toys “R” Us is teaming with Story Kitchen to develop an adventure movie about…

In October of last year, we reported that the classic Sega franchise, “Shinobi” was getting a video game adaptation. It was, by all rights, an odd choice given that the franchise has been all but abandoned by Sega. Sure, they want to chase after that video game adaptation money and have something else to go along with Sonic the Hedgehog, but Shinobi? Really? Well, if you thought that was an odd choice, things took a step in an even stranger direction with the announcement that an “OutRun” movie is on the docket. There was a time where “OutRun” was Sega’s…

Well, we’re going to admit, we didn’t see this one coming. In all of our reporting about the ludicrousness surrounding Fyre Festival 2, we figured we’d just keep hearing more and more about it failing to happen. Which absolutely happened, shocking no one. What we didn’t expect within the madness, lack of artists, and dates shifting around, is ‘Fyre’ being licensed to become a music streaming service. Yes, as absurd as it sounds, Fyre has reportedly entered into a deal with Shawn Rech to become a streaming service for musicians and fans alike. The festival itself is a separate matter…

Back in 1991, video game behemoth Nintendo released an ad for their upcoming successor to the Nintendo Entertainment System. This 16-bit console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was a game changer for its time, and the advertisement for it featured a little-known actor at that time who would later become a game changer himself. That actor was Paul Rudd. Flash-forward almost 35 years later and Nintendo has a new console coming out, the Switch 2, but they brought back an old friend to do a commercial for it. Nintendo recently released the original Super Nintendo ad on their YouTube channel,…

In 1990, a little film by the name of “Tremors” sent some powerful ripples through the horror film community. The writing team of Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson along with director and co-writer, Ron Underwood dropped upon the world a movie about subterranean monsters that terrorized the small town of Perfection, Nevada. It was a cult hit that flourished once it hit video rental stores and managed to spawn six sequels in addition to a short-lived television show. Die-hard franchise fans will know that after “Tremors 4: The Legend Begins,” Universal Pictures shifted control of the series away from its…

It’s a good time period to be a fan of Kaiju. Those of us old enough to live through the disaster that was 1998’s “Godzilla” feared that would spell the end of giant monster movies. For a while, it did. Thanks to films like “Cloverfield,” and the reemergence of the actual “Godzilla” franchise, Kaiju are back and better than ever. Some of this may not have been possible though without “Pacific Rim.” Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro’s love letter to giant monster films gave Legendary Pictures a new franchise to play with. With the help of Amazon MGM Studios, the…

Chad Stahelski has been trying to get his “Highlander” off the ground for a good decade. In 2021, it was confirmed Henry Cavill would star. While we haven’t had any set news for awhile, we do know the project, which was being developed for Lionsgate, has moved to Amazon MGM Studios / United Artists. Michael Finch, who previously worked with Stahelski on “John Wick: Chapter 4,” is penning the script. Stahelski justifies the lengthy development time for the sake of wanting to get this franchise revival done properly. “It’s just a tough nut to crack because the Highlander property is so involved…

In case you forgot- because WE DID- Peacock’s “Twisted Metal” series got picked up for a second season. A trailer for the upcoming season has dropped, promising to deliver the kind of vehicular combat mayhem that you’d expect from the video game franchise of the same name. And now, we have a release date. This season could be well worth waiting for considering that it’s going to feature what many viewers thought they were going to get in season one; the actual Twisted Metal tournament. In case you forgot the plot of the games, (and who would blame you, they…

Oh “Clueless,” further evidence that the works of Jane Austen will continue to resonate through time in various forms. The 1995 teen comedy was largely inspired by the novel “Emma,” but is primarily known today for being intensely quote worthy and making Alicia Silverstone a household name, along with her character Cher Horowitz. Since all things retro seem to be coming back with a vengeance lately, especially from the ’90s, it was only a matter of time before “Clueless” was revived in some way shape or form as well. As it turns out, that time has come, and Silverstone is…
