Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro hopes the current boom of animated feature films will help studios take on more adventurous projects. Since movies like “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” are undeniably dominating the box office, it seems that there is a growing demand for titles that studios in the past may have written off as not profitable.  “The three hits of Spider-Verse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mario are moving things, allowing a little more latitude, but there are still big fights to be had,” del Toro said during a speech at the Annecy Animation Festival.…

Director/writer/actor/producer Joe Lynch’s (Shudder’s “Creepshow”) new movie “Suitable Flesh” has gotten its first teaser trailer. The new horror movie is based on H.P. Lovecraft‘s short story “The Thing On The Doorstep.” “Suitable Flesh,” follows a once-esteemed psychiatrist who murders a young patient. After that, she helplessly watches as her life spirals into a nightmarish maelstrom of supernatural hysteria and gruesome deaths. That is all seemingly linked to an unstoppable ancient curse. The film stars horror icon Barbara Crampton, Heather Graham, Judah Lewis, Bruce Davison, Johnathon Schaech, and Jonah Ray. “Suitable Flesh,” is produced by Amp International, who also produced the…

With summer just around the corner, Crocs have teamed up with fast food giant Taco Bell on a pair of limited-edition slides. The shoes will be a re-imagining of Crocs’ Mellow Slides, which the company says are its “most comfortable shoes.” This is really saying something when your shoes are known for comfort over fashion.  But this new pair of slides seems to be trying to hit a balance between comfort and style. This iteration of the Mellow Slides comes in Taco Bell’s signature purple and black. With their slogan Live Más (Live More) printed on the two soles, and…

The CW is wrapping up its 2022-2023 season and looking ahead to next year. In May, the network had the future of three major shows up in the air. They have made the decision to cancel “Gotham Knights” and renew “Superman & Lois” and “All American: Homecoming”  for the 2023-2024 season. Even though it got the axe, “Gotham Knights” will close out its first, and now only, season with episodes airing on June 20th and 27th. This is all part of a larger cost-cutting initiative by The CW’s new owners, Nexstar. In an attempt to make the network profitable by…

Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy wants to work with the Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer on a sequel to the horror movie “Ma.” Considering McCarthy just played Ursula in the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” this could be one of the most exciting villain team-ups we have ever seen. During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, McCarthy sang Spencer’s praises. “I would do anything with Octavia, for Octavia, in the ballpark of Octavia, if there’s a picture of Octavia in the background at one point in the script — I would do anything for that glorious woman,” McCarthy said when asks if…

The fine folks at Merriam-Webster are clearly losing their sight, possibly their minds. But we can assure you- it’s fine. The famed dictionary publishers posted a chart showing their website’s Top 10 Lookups ‘Right Now.’ The results create the opening line to Papa Roach’s 2000 nu-metal anthem, “Last Resort.” The nearly 200-year-old company shared the graphic with the text “We’re not even mad; this is amazing.” While the internet has come together to do some amazing things like naming a humpback whale Mr. Splashypants or naming a research ship Boaty McBoatface. Some commenters were quick to call shenanigans. Namely by…

Actress Zazie Beetz has confirmed she will not be returning as Domino in “Deadpool 3.” Which is a bit surprising since she was was a central character in the 2nd installment of the franchise. She explained during a recent interview that while she is excited for the new movie, she won’t be a part of the cast. Even though the plot for “Deadpool 3” is still being kept under wraps, we know Ryan Reynolds will be returning as the title character. More excitingly, Hugh Jackman will be back to play Wolverine for the first time in five years! Plus, Jackman…
