Between countless Crypto commercials peddled by celebrities and the constant notifications of the rising and falling of Wall Street, it’s hard not to be at least a little curious about what it all means. Even more intriguing is the exposure of extreme fragility and volatility of our entire economic system that was on full display in early 2021, when a bunch of nerds on Reddit reshaped the way we view the seemingly mythical system. The phenomenon of GameStop (and later AMC Theaters) took the world by storm as we watched a group of organized internet nerds take on the entire…

It should come as no surprise that Florida once again finds itself at the center of yet another controversial decision. Between them and Texas, there seems to be an outright assault on the LGBTQ+ community and their rights in those states. The constant push for laws that marginalize an already marginalized community isn’t all that surprising from Florida. What is surprising and downright grotesque is the discovery that Disney is a key donor for the new ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill currently making its way through the Florida house. The bill is officially called the Parental Rights in Education bill, but…

It seems the streaming juggernaut Netflix is on a war path. As they continue to be a premiere service in the streaming wars, they have continued to buy as many rights to projects as they possibly can. And they’ve done it again, as the rights to the 1970 famous 8 book series “Black Samurai” has been purchased by Netflix. The series was created and written by Marc Olden, who sadly passed away in 2003. He was nominated for an Edgar Award for his work, which centered around a black man named Robert Sand who learns the ways of the samurai…

“Studio 666” is good enough to be recommended, but not quite good enough to warrant leaving your house to see.

There’s nothing quite like a nice, stiff drink to pair with the ending of an epic show like “The Walking Dead.” As the long running AMC flagship show comes to an end, the channel has partnered with The Sexton Single Malt to release a limited edition celebratory bottle to commemorate the show’s end. Cast member Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron on the show (and also played Stonekeeper Red Skull in “Avengers: Endgame”), is a whiskey aficionado, and will serve as the collaborative brand ambassador. The bottle features “The Walking Dead” imagery that wraps around the distinctive hexagon bottle design. A…

Here comes “Peacemaker” as the top-ranked title in Warner Bros. Pictures’ much-maligned DCEU, for now at least.

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is basically a reskin of “Halloween Kills,” right down to the feeble attempt to connect it to the original.

“Peacemaker” season 1 is an absolute delight, packed with fun, violence and irreverence yet somehow managing to tell a heartwarming story.

You can find me in da….comic book movie? No stranger to film and television both in front of and behind the camera, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television production company has its sights set on a new comic book adaption. The media company recently optioned Christopher Priest’s comic Xerø, a short lived DC Comics series that ran from 1997-1998. Though originally a DC Comics property, the rights reverted back to Priest in 2008, which means that this new development deal will be exclusive to G-Unit and their partners Color Farm Media and newly launched Illuminous, with no involvement…

“Lucy and Desi” manages to stand out, with a compelling look into the fascinating lives of the beloved power couple.
