Amazon has ordered a limited series based on the controversial company FTX. Founded in 2019, FTX quickly became one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. But in the past few weeks, the company has basically disintegrated with almost $2 billion in customer funds reportedly missing! Federal agencies are still in the process of investigating, which makes this possibly the fastest turnaround time for a series based on a true event.  While the actual plot is still currently under wraps. Sources claim that Amazon will base the series on “insider reporting” by journalists who have covered FTX and its…

Marvel Studios’ posted a heartfelt thank you from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” co-writer/director Ryan Coogler. No one can deny the wild popularity of “Black Panther,” also written and directed by Coogler, but its sequel had a lot stacked against it. Most of all the tragic loss of star Chadwick Boseman in 2020.  Boseman’s passing meant Coogler had to completely scrap his original idea for a “Black Panther” sequel. He had to craft a fitting tribute to Wakanda’s leader T’Challa and, by extension, Boseman. “Our film deals with the inescapable human emotion of grief,” Coogler said. There was concern fans of…

The company is claiming it’s shutting down the store, located at Broadway and Denny, due to “safety concerns.” But employees and the public think this may be an effort to throttle unionization in the company. “Unfortunately, despite several mitigating efforts, safety and security incidents at our Broadway and Denny store have continued to escalate,” Andrew Trull, a Starbucks spokesperson, said. Back in July, Interim CEO Howard Schultz posted a video to social media, indicating the company was “beginning to close stores” due to safety…

Police comedy show “Reno 911!” is back on Comedy Central with a new special “Reno 911!: It’s a Wonderful Heist.” This new feature-length special will be a riff on the 1946 classic holiday film “It’s a Wonderful Life.”  In the first trailer, we see Lieutenant Dangle (Thomas Lennon) at a low point. So low in fact he begs a Christmas angel atop a shopping mall for some kind of guidance. In typically “Reno 911!” fashion, he gets a semi-twisted version of his wish when angel/sex worker Terry (Nick Swardson) arrives to show him a world without him in it. But…

His friend, known only as Dave, acted quickly and smothered the flames. But even with Dave’s swift action, the left…

In late September, previously announced director Bassam Tariq (“Mogul Mowgli”) exited the project due to issues with scheduling. In early October, Marvel Studios announced they would be pausing production until a new director was found. Which is often a very risky move for studios, but one source claimed they were taking their time because they “want to really get it right.”  Production on “Blade” was supposed to start this month but instead, the studio took the time to revamp the script and…
