The latest fighter is a Cinemark-exclusive for Macon Blair‘s (“Room 104”) reboot of “The Toxic Avenger.” We aren’t sure if you can win by knocking out all your opponents with radiation poisoning, but we’re going to find out real soon.  These buckets are shaped like a rusted vat of toxic waste with the film’s title on the side. The neon green toxic sludge spilling over the sides helps set off the subtle reds in the rust tones. Once you finish your radioactive popcorn, you’ll find the Toxic…

By the power of Grayskull, we have an update! Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the new title treatment for its upcoming “Masters of the Universe” movie. The design is a complete throwback to the 1982 toy, which was adapted into a tv series, comic book, and feature film franchise.  Say what you will about He-Man, but he certainly knows how to diversify his IP. This endearingly retro look is backed by the classic music sting from the 1980s cartoon series, just updated to have a fuller sound.  As the song continues, the logo begins to morph into different languages, erasing…

It gets…

In November 2005, during the 9th season of “South Park,” an episode titled “Trapped in the Closet” aired. It parodied R. Kelly’s musical soap opera series of the same name while also mercilessly mocking Scientology. This particular episode allegedly caused a rift with music legend and Scientologist Isaac Hayes, who voiced Chef on the series. His character did not appear in that episode, a move creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said was to give him plausible deniability. Isaac Hayes III, his son, says the episode had nothing to do with his father’s departure from the series. “South Park” vs…

On July 15th, President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” moved forward after Vice President J.D. Vance broke a 50-50 tie with a deciding vote.

So, Blothar did what any interplanetary warrior would do: took to social media to raise awareness…
