The “Halo” franchise has been what Microsoft built the Xbox brand upon. When games are called a “system seller,” there is no more definitive example of that than 2001’s, “Halo: Combat Evolved.” When original developer, Bungie, moved on from the franchise after Halo: Reach, 343 Industries was created to continue making games in the series, starting with Halo 4. Company founder Bonnie Ross is stepping down from her position as the head of the developer. The announcement of Ross’s departure came from her Twitter. Citing a family medical issue, she expressed her gratitude for being able to be a part…

It was thirteen years ago when television history was made. For it was on that night actor Brian Baumgartner, in his “The Office” character of Kevin Malone, would enter Dunder Mufflin with a giant pot of chili. Things did not go as planned. The moment the pot spilled over and Kevin desperately tried to salvage the resulting mess, the world change forever. It may well be the biggest thing Kevin is remembered for. This is something the aforementioned Brian Baumgartner is fully aware of it. That’s why he has a chili cookbook coming out! The upcoming cookbook contains 177 different…

If there is one constant in the world, its change. Everything changes, and the harder you fight against that, the more difficult life becomes. For long-running television programs, this change often comes in the form of cast members coming and going. No show has been more exposed to this than “Saturday Night Life,” due in no small part to it lasting nearly five-decades. Heading into its 48th premiere in less than a month, this is going to be a big season for the show, with some of the biggest changes in a long time. The upcoming season of “Saturday Night…

They’re still number one in the hood, G. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is back! Well, they pretty much already were back, but now they’re officially back with a new movie! The team of Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad have not been forgotten by their Cartoon Network/Adult Swim fans. Their fanbase is still strong even now, seven years after the series ended. ATHF was a staple in the network’s early years of the adult oriented programming block, enough so to warrant it getting an official film in 2007. Fifteen years later, it’s getting a new film to be released digitally and…

Of the many Pixar films to have achieved critical and commercial acclaim, few of them sit higher than 2008’s “Wall-E.” The idea of a largely silent film about the ruining of Earth and humanity with heavy themes of environmentalism and anti-corporatism isn’t exactly something that sounds like a commercial box office success. There is no denying the power of cute robots though, and “Wall-E” managed to become one of those rare movies that dared to be different, and succeeded. Criterion has taken notice of that and is giving the film the full Criterion Collection treatment. For those who don’t know,…

AMC has had a recurring love affair with the undead for some time now. “The Walking Dead” had been their money-maker, and “Fear the Walking Dead” has continued that trend. But all shambling corpses have to drop dead eventually, and what better to fill the void they leave behind but vampires? A new trailer has been released for their upcoming series “Interview with the Vampire,” based on the works of the late great Anne Rice. Rice’s legacy carries on in her many literary works. Her most popularly known book, the aforementioned “Interview with the Vampire,” was famously turned into a…

“Oh boy!” The simple exclamation that Dr. Sam Beckett would say before he got himself into another difficult situation is more than fitting today. “Quantum Leap” was one of the more original sci-fi shows of its time when it debuted back in 1989. The program followed the adventures of the aforementioned time traveling Dr. Beckett (Scott Bakula) as he “leapt” into the lives of people in the past. After the series was unceremoniously cut short in 1993, we never did find out what happened to the good doctor. 30 years later, we may get that chance through a new protagonist…

We thought it was safe. We were wrong. We thought it was over, but it came back again with another wave. We’re not talking about the COVID-19 pandemic either. We’re talking about “Teletubbies.” The children’s program that introduced us to weird looking, slightly terrifying creatures that look like what would happen if a necromancer tried to reanimate a corpse using a felt colored television- is coming back. There’s still some time before it happens though, so we can prepare. You’ve got about two months, so let’s look at what we know before the reckoning commences. “Teletubbies” was a British television…

The courts are officially done with this frivolous lawsuit. Citing that the statute of limitations were well beyond their bounds.

Never underestimate the power of social media. It can launch careers, revive discontinued fast food items, and see musicals about those items. Taco Bell’s mexican pizza was brought back to life thanks in large part to Doja Cat earlier this year. And then, the bombshell that national treasure Dolly Parton would be co-staring in a musical about it. Even though we knew it was coming, we still weren’t prepared to find out that it’s happening later this month. .Is this supposed to be intentionally ridiculous? Yes. Is it leaning into that absurdity for all it’s worth? Yes. As would be…
