Netflix has unveiled six new posters for their upcoming animated Sonic the Hedgehog series, as well as a December release date. While rumors about a new Sonic series have been circling for nearly two years, Netflix has officially revealed “Sonic Prime” will be premiering on the streaming service later this year. Netflix also unveiled character posters for Sonic, Amy Rose, Shadow, Knuckles, Rouge, Big the Cat (and Froggy), and the big bad Eggman. No word yet on whether fan-favorite Miles “Tails” Prower will appear, but it’s safe to assume he’ll be there too. Fans of the Sonic franchise have definitely…

Hey, remember when we told you “Doctor Who” is moving to Disney+? How exciting it was to know new episodes of the classic British sci-fi show would be more accessible to those of us without an HBO subscription? Well, it gets even better. Rather than simply acting as streaming home for new episodes, Disney has entered into a co-production deal with the BBC, looking to expand the show to a Hollywood level production, while still retaining the double-hearts of the series. This means while showrunner Russell T. Davies will retain the overall creative vision for the program, Disney will be…

Controversial Disney CEO Bob Chapek has picked a strange hill to make a stand on. Chapek decided to defend the Disney Park’s new reservation system, which many loyal customers aren’t a fan of. The system was first introduced when the parks reopened in summer 2020 in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than being allowed to purchase a ticket that allows them free access to the parks, guests are required to make reservations for a specific day and specific Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme park. Guests must have valid theme park admission to make a reservation, and each…

Warner Bros. Pictures has officially announced Antonio Campos, creator of “The Staircase,” will be the new showrunner for the Arkham Asylum series for HBO Max. Campos will also serve as head writer and director. The show will be a spinoff of Matt Reeves’ highly praised “The Batman,” and has already gone through a series of re-conceptions. Originally, the show was meant to be produced alongside another series about the inner workings of the Gotham City police department, with Terence Winter writing and executive producing. But after Winter and his later replacement, “Giri/Haji” creator Joe Barton, both clashed with Warner Bros.…

Following the departure of writer Seth Grahame-Smith, the new “Green Lantern” tv series being developed by Greg Berlanti for HBO Max will be undergoing some big changes. The series is undergoing a creative overhaul following a series of leadership changes at HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, and DC Comics. It was originally slated to star Jeremy Irvine (“Treadstone”) and Finn Wittrock (“Ratched”) as Alan Scott and Guy Gardner, respectively. Grahame-Smith had apparently written eight episodes focusing on these two Lanterns before his departure from the project. No word on possible recasting. Original producers of the show had not intended to include…

Just in time for Halloween, Bianca Henandez-Knight shared her AMAZING and creative silhouetted carved pumpkin. She also included detailed directions if you want to make your own. The end result is super cool, and perfect for a nerdy display from a galaxy far, far away. After picking up the pieces of your absolutely blown mind, the process is fairly intuitive, as the writer of the popular Bookhoarding blog explains. After gathering your (ideally “Star Wars” themed) supplies, mark out the design you want displayed on the front of the pumpkin. Make sure you don’t carve too deep into the pumpkin,…

He Who Shall Not Be Named actor Ralph Fiennes has once again defended JK Rowling’s transphobia, and characterized those calling her out as disgusting harassers. In an interview with The New York Times, Fiennes claimed Rowling has been subject to “verbal abuse” online. This “appalling” behavior stems from what Fiennes describes as “just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’” Fiennes, who has defended Rowling in the past, seems to have spectacularly misunderstood what Rowling’s position actually is and why people might object…

An Alaskan brown bear, designated as Bear 747 by the Katmai National Park, and referred to by fans as Bear Force One, has been declared the winner of Fat Bear Week 2022. The estimated 1,400-pound giant is over 20 years old, and previously won the title in 2020. This year, he defeated Bear 901, a six-year-old female, in the final round by more than 10,000 votes. For those out of the loop, Fat Bear Week is an annual online competition held by Alaska’s Katmai National Park to promote interest in their population of protected bears that would face impending threat…

Disney+’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson” series looks better with each new cast announcement. And this time is no different. You’re probably already aware of some of the buzz surrounding the cast. Whether it’s fans excited about Jason Mantzoukas being cast as the gruff but lovable Dionysus or racists complaining about the fact that Leah Sava Jeffries will be playing Annabeth. Today’s news focuses on some character who probably won’t always be in the spotlight but are sure to become fan favorites (albeit for a variety of different reasons). Ares, the wickedly handsome agent of chaos who…

John Galvan has recently been released from prison after serving 35 years for a crime that he didn’t commit. He was finally able to prove his innocence thanks to an old episode of Discovery Channel popular science show “Mythbusters” starring Adam Savage, Grant Imahara, Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Jamie Hyneman. In September of 1986, a fire broke out in a two-flat apartment building in Southwest Chicago, killing brothers Guadalupe and Julio Martinez. Their siblings Blanca and Jorge Martinez managed to escape the fire, and told police a female neighbor had threatened to burn the building down as retaliation for…
