Arguably the largest collection of Disney Parks memorabilia in a private collection is going up for auction next month. The Joel Magee Disneyland Collection is currently on display, via a pretty amazing installation by Van Eaton Galleries.

This just in-sounds like Evan Peters is joining Jared Leto in the upcoming film “Tron 3” for Disney. Titled “Tron: Ares,” the film has been LONG in the making. Cameras were expected to start rolling in August of this year. Obviously with the ongoing WGA strike and possible (and probable) SAG-AFTRA strike next month, chances of the production starting anytime soon are slim at best.Peters recently received much acclaim for his portrayal of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in Ryan Murphy’s limited series for Netflix. Leto will reportedly play Ares, a manifestation of the program. No word on who Peters will…

Lets address the giant anti semitic elephant in the room first, shall we? When Peacock announced Mel Gibson would be starring in their upcoming “John Wick” spinoff series “The Continental,” we were….concerned. Also, no, this isn’t “Saturday Night Live” classic ongoing The Continental sketch starring Christopher Walken.

It feels too much like rewarding bad behavior. Behavior, we remind you, which led to previously super bankable Gibson to be absent as a star from major…

While we have some decidedly mixed opinions about Amazon Prime Video’s “Wheel of Time” series, we’re pretty excited for what’s to come in season 2. Namely, characters WE SHOULD HAVE MET ALREADY are finally making their debut. You know, like the Daughter-Heir of Andor, Elayne Trakand, who will be played by Ceara Coveney.We still don’t know who has been cast to play Queen of Andor Morgase Trakand, Elayne’s mother. There’s also Gawyn Trakand, Elayne’s brother, and Galad Damodred, Elayne’s half-brother. All of whom we should have met already, as they appear in book 1. ALSO, some very important Aiel Maidens…
