This just in-ReedPop, company behind such conventions as PAX and Star Wars Celebration (among others), has apparently partnered with E3. If you’ll recall, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has had a tough time of it the last few years. Of course, much of that can be chalked up to the pandemic forcing in-person events to go for a virtual offering. But E3 chose to forgo an event entirely this year. Rumors indicated the event might not come back.Cut to this morning, and the news that E3 will indeed return with the help of ReedPop. E3 will return in June of…

We want to start by saying we VERY MUCH HOPE Carlos Santana makes a full recovery from whatever prompted this to happen. Earlier this evening during a concert at the Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, MI, guitar legend Carlos Santana reportedly passed out on stage. Additional footage from the show indicates he regained consciousness before being taken from the facility by medical staff.

It’s hard to believe the animated Disney film “Beauty and The Beast” has already turned 30, but here we are. The tale as old as time classic film stared Paige O’Hara as Belle, and Robbie Benson as The Beast aka Prince Adam. It conceptually tackled themes of looks aren’t everything, and be kind to everyone. To celebrate such a momentous anniversary, Disney has announced a 2-hour hybrid special coming to ABC. (Although technically the 30th anniversary would have been in 2021.) While we don’t know who all will be appearing yet, we do know the special will feature never-before-seen musical…
