Pre-orders will go live on November 7th at 10am (PST) on Toynk’s website here.

The last of the Zack Snyder-influenced DCEU films is finally getting released this year. James Wan’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” has had it’s fair share of setbacks and delays. Mostly stemming from the pandemic, but more still from a gunshy Warner Bros. Pictures. As part of the promotional rollout for the sequel, star Jason Momoa will return to host “Saturday Night Live” on November 18th. The last time he hosted was back in 2018, which oddly enough was also to promote the Justice League founding member film. The infamous Elf on a Shelf skit was a highlight from the…

In another timeline, “Dune Part Two” would’ve hit theaters this weekend. Obviously, that didn’t happen, for a number of reasons. We’ll have to wait til March to see the second chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal work. So yes, we’re sad about that, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t collectables to be had in the meantime!McFarlane Toys has released figures for the upcoming film, and we have to say, they’re pretty great. ESPECIALLY that Feyd (Austin Butler). Paddishaw Emperor Shaddam IV (Christopher Walken) A 4-Pack Including Gurney (Josh Brolin), Paul (Timothée Chalamet), Chani (Zendaya), and Stilgar (Javier…

Happy BlizzCon 2023 day one to all who celebrate!

You’ll be able to watch other day’s presentations as well, but this way you can catch up on what’s been happening today. BlizzCon 2023 continues at the Anaheim Convention Center through November 4th.

Holiday Harbinger Mariah Carey has completed her annual defrost and returned to cause Christmas chaos. Well…kind of. Carey is a self-professed prankster, and therefor her surprising late night host Jimmy Kimmel along with merrymakers is pretty on-brand. Carey was a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night, and took her job as the First Horseman of the Holidays very seriously. She even presented Kimmel with a new t-shirt. Watch the video now:

It was one of the great television events- “Shōgun.” The 1980 5-part mini series was based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name, and captivated audiences. The revival finished filming in 2022, and we’re finally getting our first look at it. Hiroyuki Sanada (“Sunshine,” “Westworld”) stars as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, who is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him. Anna Sawai stars as Toda Mariko, a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line. Cosmo Jarvis (“Raised by Wolves”) plays John Blackthorne, captain of a marooned ship found outside a…

The first teaser for 20th Century Studios’ “Kingdom in the Planet of the Apes” film has been released. The project was first announced by Fox in 2019. In 2022, the title and concept art for the fourth Apes installment were revealed, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. Early reports indicated this would be a story taking place decades (it not hundreds of years after the first trilogy), but that isn’t the case. We were curious what storyline this film was going to take, as Caesar, the main character, died at the end of the third film. “Kingdom” will follow Caesar…

This just in-a new bombshell report from Rolling Stone on the heels of a new lawsuit lobbed at HBO alleges that CEO Casey Bloys (who all on his own is a piece of work) ordered various staffers to create fake accounts across social media with the EXPRESS purpose of trolling critics. According to the report, Sully Temori, an HBO executive assistant, is now suing HBO for the practice.  Senior Vice President of Drama Programming at HBO Kathleen McCaffrey is also named.One of the examples given is a personal vendetta against Rolling Stone chief tv critic, Alan Sepinwall. Sepinwall did not…

Ah yes, Marvel Studios. That behemoth of entertainment which immediately brings to mind superheroes, box office records, and rabid fandom. Despite massive success across 15 years of projects, things seem to be settling to a less than ideal performance with recent releases. It’s been mostly doom and gloom from industry insiders, citing numerous things like bad VFX (“She-Hulk”), overly bloated budgets with limited returns (“Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania”), and a star who is leading the next phase of the MCU getting arrested and awaiting trial (Jonathan Majors). So, what’s next for the media magnate? We know some of the…
