Sometimes an actor owns a role so completely that they become forever linked to the character that they play. They might embody them so well that they end up playing them for decades to come.

But if there’d anyone who can rise above that example, It’s Masako Nozawa, the voice behind Goku in all of his forms through the “Dragon Ball” franchise. So profound is her performance that she’s been officially recognized by the Japanese government in a Cultural Merit award; the first voice actor…

There are certain filmmakers who are unquestionable legends. When it comes to the world of horror, no one owns up to that mantle like John Carpenter. The man that brought us “Halloween,” the remake of “The Thing,” “The Fog,” and more has spent more time lately admittedly playing video games than wanting to make films, but it hasn’t stopped him from working in other capacities in the industry. Carpenter returned to compose music for the David Gordon Green “Halloween” trilogy, reminding of his musical chops. Now, he’ll be the executive producer of the upcoming horror anthology series “John Carpenter Presents.”…

Tis the season for updating your Halloween play list! Over the last several years we’ve compiled a bunch of songs for you to enjoy the spooky Holiday while going off the beaten path. We’ve included songs that sound upbeat only to be about serial killers, spoken word pieces by Tom Waits, and at least a couple songs from German synth bands. This year we’re back with another 10 accompanied by some fun music trivia. Enjoy! Paul Saax – “Red Harvest” Back in 1988, a small film hit theaters in limited release entitled “Jack’s Back.” The intended title was reportedly going…

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is one of the simple joys of life that millions of people indulge in on a daily basis. They’re a staple of lunch boxes for kids and adults across the country and are incredibly easy to make even for the most inept of chefs. But Smucker’s was able to make things even easier when they rolled out the frozen Uncrustables PB&J sandwich that you can just thaw and eat. Bur Smucker’s feels their product is being infringed on, and now they’re hoping for a different kind of PB&J; Peanut Butter & Justice. Consumers are…

Early 2000s reality tv series “Fear Factor” is getting a revival on Fox. Johnny Knoxville will take over hosting duties. Given the man’s experience with physical stunts on “Jackass,” “Action Park,” and other projects, this just seemed absolutely perfect; like when an artist finds their creative medium. At the time, we didn’t have a release date, now we know a bit more about when and what to expect. Last we heard, the show was engaged in doing some casting calls to bring in contestants. The premise of the show was also changed a bit from being a direct competitive series…

Many a child has grown up over the last 60 something years with Little People toys. The Fisher-Price figures have been a staple in toyboxes and still remain as popular today as they are iconic. Many a child has also grown up over the last 40 something years with “A Christmas Story.” The 1983 classic has worked its way into homes across the world. (Thanks to the 24 hour marathon broadcasts it would get on TNT on Christmas day.) So, Little People, “A Christmas Story”… why not put the two together? This holiday season, that combination has become a reality.…

October is the month for the scary and the macabre. Sometimes things happen that wouldn’t be especially noteworthy if they happened at any other time, but this is one where everything lines up in the most horrific way it could. People often love a good, fun, scare, and Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction is just the right place to serve that up. Unfortunately that fun turned into tragedy for a guest earlier this week. On Monday, October 6th, a woman was found unresponsive on the famous spooky ride at Disneyland. There was no sign of any kind of accident or malice.…

Public television has done a tremendous amount to bring education, culture, and the arts to homes across the country. Of the many programs that were broadcast over the decades, one of the most endearing to people of all ages was “The Joy of Painting” starring Bob Ross. Between his distinctive hair, calming voice, and incredibly use of the “wet on wet” painting technique, Ross delighted audiences and indeed, showcased the joy that is painting. Now, some of those very pieces he created on air are being used to try and help the medium that brought him into homes to begin…
