It’s not even midway through June and we’re already getting pumped for some spooky happenings in the near future, especially when it comes to a specific horror villain. On the plus, there’s Peacock’s upcoming “Crystal Lake” series. On the negative, “Friday the 13th: The Game” ceased online operations last year. But if there’s one thing better than virtually running from Jason, it’s doing it in real life at Universal Studios theme parks. Starting this September, a new haunted attraction is opening at the Florida based theme park in the form of “Jason Universe.” And while that might sound like a…

Happy Friday the 13th! Why not celebrate with some news about Peacock’s upcoming “Crystal Lake” prequel series? Back in March, Linda Cardellini (“Freaks & Geeks,” “Dead to Me”)was tapped to play Pamela Voorhees. Ms. Voorhees was famously the original killer in the first “Friday the 13th” film before being supplanted by her son for the following installments. But you can’t shake the original, which is why we were excited to hear about Cardellini’s casting for the upcoming project. Now we can happily report that the cast is expanding. Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville,” “Shades of Blue”), and…

When director and auteur David Lynch passed away earlier this year, we collectively lost one of the most brilliant minds in the history of film and storytelling. His last major project was “Twin Peaks: The Return” limited series in 2017. He being the creative powerhouse he was, continued pursuing ideas, and even making content online. Still, the man had plans for doing something more than just reporting the local weather, and part of those plans may be published for the world to experience. Co-CEO of Netflix Ted Sarandos said he had been contacted by the director about making a limited…

Ever since computers came along, the processing power at their command has been frequently used for one vital purpose: playing chess. Humanity chose to engage in a war against its own creation, only to find out that the creation has toppled its own god. Yes, even dating back to the 1950s, computers have been beating humans in chess matches. But how would something like ChatGPT fare against a program specifically designed to play chess? Turns out, not well at all. In 1979, Video Chess was released for the Atari 2600. The primitive console may be a relic by today’s standards,…

Some stories just can’t stop being retold. We’re not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just interesting how some pieces of lore keep coming back up in various forms because of how they remain relevant to the human experience from generation to generation. A prime example of this is the Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol.” Everyone knows the story; Ebenezer Scrooge is a wretched, stingy man who is visited by three ghosts who hope to get him into the Christmas spirit. It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as 1843 when it was first…

There are some brands or properties in media that are so iconic that they’ve transcended generations and entrenched themselves into pop culture permanence. One of them, without any doubt, is the Rod Serling created, “The Twilight Zone.” From 1959 to 1964, audiences were brought to a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. Though its been over sixty years now since its final episode of its original run, the show has lived on in various ways. That legacy is set to continue this fall when IDW Comics drops “The Twilight Zone” comic book. Currently, IDW’s run is…

The subject of artificial intelligence is a complicated one, especially in its unauthorized and unregulated proliferation into the creative arts. Numerous controversies have arisen due to utilizing AI in everything from altering human speech, to creating special effects artwork. Hollywood productions have been a main source of information and data AI engines learn from to create content, and most of it is being done without attribution or permission. Because of this, two of the biggest studios in the industry are filing a lawsuit against one of the largest AI companies. On June 11th, 2025 Disney and Universal filed a 110-page…

Frequent readers know we strive to do our best in providing you coverage of some of the weirdest flavor combinations we’ve ever seen. And believe us, we’ve seen a lot of them over the years; hell, we’ve even tried some of them ourselves. Remember pizza flavored ice cream? We do, and to be honest it wasn’t actually that bad. Now, don’t get us wrong, it wasn’t that great either, but it was still something that paired together better than you would think. We’re not sure if we’re going to be able to say the same thing about this latest combination…

Certain movies just seem destined to become clut classics. A little over 15 years ago, one of those films hit theaters starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. “Jennifer’s Body” seemed like it could’ve been a hit given the talent in front of the camera and behind it, but alas it wound up being relegated to that category of cult classics that are more fondly remembered later on than what they were judged for at the time. Sometimes they even get sequels because of this, and “Jennifer’s Body” is on the path to getting one. In an interview with Variety, Seyfried…

The 1980s were a simpler time in many respects. Granted the Cold War was raging but greeting card characters could create media franchises. Hallmark created Rainbow Brite and American Greetings brought Strawberry Shortcake into the world as well as The Care Bears. Out of those three mentioned franchises, The Care Bears have endured the longest, finding their way back into pop culture every so often with the loving ferocity of a good Care Bear Stare. While its been a while since they had their place in the limelight, that may be changing thanks to an upcoming feature film. From 1985…
