We’ve covered a lot of the fallout from the Warner Bros. and Discovery Inc. merger. The newly established Warner Bros. Discovery has made a number of decisions that have affected everything from the cancellation of CNN+, to the cessation of scripted content on TBS and TNT. We knew more changes were coming. And, we regret to inform you that the planned “Wonder Twins” film will not have its powers activated. HBO Max was developing the film as part of their DC Comics list of projects. Last month, it was announced that KJ Apa and Isabel May would play the titular…

In late April, we covered some of the internal chaos that was going on at Netflix following their loss of over 600,000 subscribers in North America last quarter. The streaming giant is expecting to lose another 2 million in the next quarter, and that loss is being passed down to the employees. While Netflix continues to sort out its future, they’ve also laid off 150 employees. While cutting 2% of its American workforce doesn’t seem super large, it’s a big deal when taken as part of the larger picture. Since the announcement of Netflix’s recent misfortunes, there has been a…

Whatever happened to predictability? One day you think a house is on sale, the next day you find out it was a fraudulent posting on a real-estate site. It’s almost like everywhere you look, things aren’t what they seemed to be. However, there’ a light that’s waiting to carry you home. In this case, the home is NOT the one from “Full House” which was found to be fraudulently listed for sale on real estate site, Zillow. Various news sites reported the famous Painted Ladies victorian “Full House” house was on sale for $37 million earlier this week. A bit…

One of the great travesties of life is that there is so much media to comb through and not enough time. Making things even harder is how we can fall back on listening to, watching, reading, or playing the same things over and over. It doesn’t help when various platforms regurgitate the same things to us all the time. This happens a lot with music where the same songs will get used again and again in television, films, advertisements, radio, and suggested repeatedly on streaming apps. So in order to help mix things up for people and show some songs…

There’s some fantastic news for horror game enthusiasts on the horizon. Back in July of 2021, a remake for horror title “Dead Space” was announced. We know now the release date for the title. Sadly it’s not going to meet the 2022 holiday season, but you won’t have to wait too long after that. But before we get to thee EXACT date, let’s pause for a history lesson in why this release is so important to the horror genre. In 2008, a studio then known as EA Redwood Shores released a new survival/horror intellectual property called “Dead Space.” After releasing…

AMC is apparently adapting Remedy Entertainment’s “Alan Wake” game into a live-action series. The news came from Remedy Entertainment Creative Director Sam Lake. Lake has been a writer on nearly every game Remedy has released, dating back to the original “Max Payne.” “Alan Wake” was heavily inspired by David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks,” and is structured in the form of episodes. Television sets and in-universe programming also feature strongly in the series as well as other Remedy games, namely “Control.” Beyond that, there’s “Quantum Break,” which was released in 2016, and also had live-action television parts where you could make choices…

It was a stunt that went wrong. But at least nobody got hurt! On April 24th, 2022, two pilots attempted to leave their single-pilot aircrafts mid-flight. The idea was to swap planes mid-flight and land them safely. The stunt failed, resulting in one of the planes crashing. The FAA has stepped in to revoke the licenses of both pilots involved. This stunt happened as part of a promotional effort between Red Bull and Hulu, and was live streamed. The pilots involved in the stunt, Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington, were both FAA commercially licensed pilots, but neither of them received…

This week has been crazy for networks and upfronts. If you missed it, The CW’s bloodbath and NBC’s axe have been pretty brutal. CBS followed suit with their slate of cancellations. Of the five shows getting cut, one is a stand-out in terms of high ratings. “Good Sam,” “How We Roll,” “B Positive,” “United States of Al,” and “Magnum P.I.” have been cancelled. The new iteration of the Tom Selleck classic “Magnum P.I.” will not go past its fourth season. The show has been pulling in consistently strong ratings, with an average viewership of 7.4 million on a Friday night.…

It’s with a heavy heart that we report that Fred Ward, an actor who graced the big and small screen over the course of decades, has passed away. Ward found himself in powerful roles, ranging from John Anglin in “Escape From Alcatraz” to Earl Bassett in “Tremors.” Ward passed away on May 8th, but the news wasn’t publicly shared until May 12th. His last role was in two episodes of “True Detective” in 2015, but he remained consistently active in television and film before that. Arguably his most popular time period though was in the early to mid 90s when…

The cancellation swings hard, swift, and with very little care for your past accomplishments. Such is the case today when NBC announced it was cancelling two of its sophomore comedies, “Kenan” and “Mr. Mayor.” The news comes alongside the cancellation of poorly reviewed freshman drama series, “The Endgame.” But the surprising part of all this comes from how quickly both comedy shows went from being highly viewed, to the least watched shows on broadcast television. The Ted Danson-led comedy “Mr. Mayor” was the second-highest rated comedy on NBC during its freshman year. It also had the pedigree behind it of…
