The world of mergers and acquisitions doesn’t always sound like an exciting thing. Sure, Oliver Stone can make it sound intense via Gordon Gecko in “Wall Street,” but it’s normally not that thrilling. It can however, be terrifying in a way. When there are only so many big players in Hollywood, takeovers and mergers can mean fewer voices and avenues for creatives. That’s one of the big reasons why we’ve been following the saga of Paramount and its merger with Skydance. You may know multinational companies have at least two major areas they have to clear to get a merger…

There have been so many shows debuting, getting canceled, and being renewed across so many different networks and platforms that it’s hard to keep up with them. Remember the “Halo” series on Paramount+? Yup, that was cancelled. Meanwhile, “The Last of Us” has its second season hitting HBO this coming April. “Arcane” got canned after its second season on Netflix. “Twisted Metal” on Peacock… got renewed for a season two? When did that happen? Last year?! Well hot damn, that seems like decades ago with everything that’s been going on. But yes indeed, the action/comedy, vehicular assault series got itself…

As you might expect from a website called Nerdbot, there are things we tend to “nerd out” about. Of those many things, “Constantine” is one of them. We’re not just talking about the 2005 film starring Keanu Reeves, we’re also talking about the character as featured in comics, the criminally short-lived TV series, his appearances in the Arrowverse shows, you name it. But yes, that 2005 film still holds a special place in our hearts and we’ve reported about its potential sequel more than a few times over the last several years. Imagine then, our happiness when director Francis Lawrence…

Do you remember that Simpsons episode where Homer becomes friends with Ned? After years of animosity they bond over tickets to a football game and Homer forms an obsessive bond with his neighbor. That’s the kind of energy that the trailer for A24’s “Friendship” gives off. And we are all in on this movie. If there’s one reason more than others that we’re down for this film, it’s because of Tim Robinson. If you’re not familiar with the name, you’re missing out. The writer, actor, and comedian has been in a number of projects, yet still isn’t quite a household…

In September of last year we reported that the newly invigorated MGM+ would play host to a new Robin Hood series. The studio had some new life breathed into it after Amazon acquired the MGM name and catalog. It seemed only fitting a legendary name like MGM have some kind of legendary programing. To be fair, there are few legends more well-known than that of Robin Hood. Last month we reported that the project had found its titular hero in Jack Patton, now we can say they found their Sheriff of Nottingham. And you can start making your jokes about…

Remember when we remarked how pleasantly surprised we were that “Paddington” became a successful film series? Of all the beautiful slices of childhood reading, our money was not on that delightful little bear. And maybe it’s a sign that there’s still some joy left in humanity that “Paddington” has become box office gold. With the third film about to hit North America, Studiocanal has confirmed a 4th film is on the way. Production company Studiocanal has big plans for Its little bear. In a wide-ranging interview, Studiocanal CEO, Anna Marsh spoke about how the company was expanding. After having a…

It’s been a hot minute since we talked about “Bioshock.” The 2007 first person shooter/adventure title has cemented itself in video game history thanks to its rich atmosphere, storytelling, and lore. It was the kind of game, that if properly worked with, could have made a good movie. It’s been in development several times, but with no actual release. In 2022, Netflix revealed their plans for a live-action project. While we haven’t had any news since then, Francis Lawrence (“The Hunger Games”) confirms things are still happening. Lawrence cut his teeth as a director with 2005’s “Constantine.” And of course,…

It’s hard to believe that we’re at the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live.” Very few programs in the history of television can claim to have run consecutively for so many years. Sure, there are franchises that come and go, but “SNL” has been the premier sketch comedy program, reliably being there every season. Just like with the 40th anniversary, one can expect there to be a pretty tremendous turnout in terms of guests. This anniversary proves to be no exception.  Immediately noteworthy are some of the original cast members that are coming back. It’s only fitting considering again, 50-year…

We’ve talked quite a bit about the rise and fall of Armie Hammer. He’s not the only actor to have their career come tumbling down due to allegations of assault and abuse towards women. He is however, the only one to have accusations of cannibalism thrown into the mix. It’s almost comical to think about that, and perhaps it’s easy to focus on because it feels like comedy of the absurd next to some pretty serious and depressing matters. Hammer has come back into the limelight recently by appearing on podcasts and announcing he has an upcoming film with Uwe…

Despite what Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon may encourage you to think, farming is not exactly a…COZY job. The hours are long, the labor is hard, and factors beyond your control like mother nature itself can massively impact you. The increase in egg prices has been a focal point in political discourse again, and it may have even encouraged a robbery worth $40,000. Greencastle, Pennsylvania played host to an egg theft of over 100,000 of the precious little ovals. The goods were seized from the back of a truck parked outside Pete and Gerry’s Organics. The company works with a…
