It was 20 years ago when a young author by the name of Christopher Paolini hit it big with his fantasy young adult novel series, The Inheritance Cycle. The first novel “Eragon” was published in 2002 right before the young adult genre hit it apex. While Eragon was later adapted into a movie by the same name in 2006, the world hasn’t seen much of the franchise outside of some additional novels and a collection of short stories. Thanks to Disney+, The Inheritance Cycle is going to begin anew as an exclusive series. Paolini will be a co-writer for the…

Well, sometimes we just can’t have nice things. There have been many discontinued products that hit us all in the heart, or digestive system. Ecto Cooler, Waffle Crisp (before it came back), the McDonald’s Arch Deluxe, Butterfinger BB’s. So many memories, so many foods; all those snacks, lost in time. We can add one more victim to that collection- ice cream treat, the Choco Taco. Yes, the Choco Taco, a waffle cone turned horizontal and loaded with ice cream. If you haven’t had one before, it’s not as if you were missing out on anything truly revolutionary; just a novel…

There’s a heavy temptation to write the following article entirely in a series of sentences that are just, “I am GROOT,” repeated over and over. For the sake of actually conveying information you might be interest in though, we’ll refrain from doing that. Instead we’ll tell you that we are happy to say that there’s a new series of shorts sprouting up on Disney+ next month, featuring everyone’s favorite sentient alien tree, Groot. So maybe Groot wouldn’t be the first pick you’d have for the star of a new Marvel spin-off series, even more so when it’s the baby form…

During San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), we learned some additional tidbits about the upcoming series, “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai.” A few more tasty morsels got served about the upcoming voice cast for the HBO Max series. The biggest dollop of awesomeness though may be the fact that the actor who played Billy, Zach Galligan, will also be returning. Galligan’s return comes with a big caveat- he won’t be playing Billy. “I can’t say too much but because it’s 1920s China, I’m not playing Billy because he wasn’t around,” Galligan said during the panel. Which makes sense. Billy was an irresponsible…

While it may not be with the deeply smooth voice of Keith David, Goliath, leader of the Gargoyles, is coming back. It’s been 25 years since the series ended, longer if you disregard “The Goliath Chronicles,” but we’ll be able to dive back into the surprisingly dark world of mythical monsters in New York on the printed or digital page. We anticipated announcements of various kinds coming out of the San Diego Comic Con, but the continuation of “Gargoyles” was not necessarily one of them we had on our bingo cards. We don’t know a lot of information at the…

There are some legendary games that have been ported from console to console to console. “Street Fighter II” was in the arcades, the Super Nintendo, the Genesis, the Switch, home computers, the Game Boy, the Game Boy Advance…the list goes on. “The Elder Scrolls: V” shares that distinction having originally appeared on the PC, PlayStation 3, and XBox 360 in 2011. Since then its basically been everywhere. You can’t throw a copy without it hitting some other version in the knee. And now it’s coming to tarot cards. Well, perhaps it’s more appropriate to say the “Skyrim” theming is coming…

Throughout 2022, one of the big stories surrounding the entertainment industry has been the struggles of Netflix. We’ve discussed quite a bit about the streaming platforms troubles this year but never went so far as to count them out of the picture or forecast their doom. Yeah, they’ve been struggling, but they’re not done yet, and today went a long way towards showing that. In a major push towards making original content, it was announced that Netflix would be purchasing the animation studio, Animal Logic, with the deal expected to close later this year. Even if you don’t know Animal…

One of the things that helped propel the success of the PlayStation 4 was the number of strong, exclusive games that were either elevated by the console’s tech, or were created for it. “God of War” was already a hit series from the previous PlayStation generations, but its reinvention for PS4 brought it to new levels both from a gameplay and narrative perspective. “Horizon: Zero Dawn” marked the burgeoning of a new franchise and “The Last of Us” got itself a remastering and a successful sequel. These properties and more will be making their way into your home in various…

Most everyone has experienced the power of food in some way. It doesn’t just nourish us, it can calm us, excite us, and bring us together with others. It can provide comfort, a sense of accomplishment, and so many other feelings. Who better would know about the connection that we have with food other than one of the biggest food companies in the world, Kraft Heinz. One of the products under their ownership is Philadelphia Cream Cheese, a creamy goodness that is fully capable of eliciting feelings out of people. Thus, a question was asked. Could it be possible to…

When the world hands you lemons, make lemonade. When the world hands you Velveeta cheese product, vodka, olives, and vermouth, you make a martini. Or in this case- you make a Veltini. Yeah, we’re not joking, and considering all the other weird food concoctions that have been thrust into the world, there’s a part of you that probably isn’t even surprised by this. So here it is, the Veltini in all of it’s …not sure if glory is the right word, but let’s just go with it anyway. The Veltini is what you would get if David Cronenberg did food…
