Hopefully by now you’ve been on the cosmic conflict ride that is season 1 of “Andor.” This is NOT your typical “Star Wars” fare, and that’s what makes it so damn special. Taking it’s cues from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “Andor” really sets the tinder for the fire of the Rebellion. Led by Diego Luna returning as Cassian Andor, the series from showrunner Tony Gilroy absolutely surpassed all expectations.Yes, it’s political. Yes, it’s dark and at times depressing. But it has to be to get us to the next step in the saga. One standout scene everyone is…

Imagine you’re going through your day while out and about in New York City. Maybe it isn’t so strange to see a severed hand in certain areas of the city, but, what about Thing?

The first season of Wednesday,” which stars Jenna Ortega, is available to stream on Netflix now. We’ll let you know what we hear about a season 2 pick up when it happens.

The return of Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty Foreman (Debra Jo Rupp) is what originally drew our attention to Netflix’s attempt at a revival of FOX’s “That ’70s Show.” But, the aptly titled “That ’90s Show” could be funny? Especially if you were a fan of the original comedy. Streaming service giant Netflix released the first trailer for the show this morning, as well as the release date. ITS THE SAME COUCH AND AFGAN! We do know some of the original cast will be stopping by as well. “It’s 1995 and Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, is visiting…

It’s kind of big news today, folks. Sony Pictures has apparently signed a deal to exclusively distribute and market Legendary Pictures titles globally. (Well, minus in China. Legendary East will still be handling that specific market.) The news came this afternoon, and does NOT include major franchises like “Godzilla” and “Dune.”“It’s a rare opportunity to partner in this mutually beneficial way with true pros, who are completely aligned in our theatrical commitment and vision for this business,” Presidents of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group Josh Greenstein and Sanford Panitch said. “The creative brilliance and power of Legendary is huge and we look…

Fans of the classic 90s adventure series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” are still in shock after the news of Jason David Frank, who played Tommy the Green (and White) Ranger, passing away. Frank was a mainstay in the convention scene; hosting costume contests, martial arts workshops, and in general, a pretty cool guy to encounter as a fan. Director Amy Jo Johnson, who played Kimberly the Pink Ranger in the original series, has been tweeting a lot about Frank. The two played a couple on the series off and on, which first aired in 1993. Tommy of course was the…

Every so often, a gem of movie information surfaces in an unlikely place. It’s one of those things about why we’re kinda hoping execs at Twitter can collectively pull their heads out of Elon’s ass and save the platform. Sure, sometimes it’s a hellscape, but for the most part, it’s a place to find out things like how John Malkovich almost played The Vulture in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 4.”According to a tweet from Ken Penders, Malkovich, who was never officially confirmed to be involved, went so far in the process as to have a complete body mold made for costume…

Some news- apparently cameras are rolling on the “Dune” prequel series about the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. Aptly titled “Dune: The Sisterhood,” the show is set in a timeline several thousands of years before the saga of Paul Atreides.Johan Renck, who is directing the first two episodes of the series, shared the filming news on Instagram. This is pretty exciting news for fans of the highly influential science fiction story created by Frank Herbert. Theoretically, we’ll be seeing the Bene Gesserit plant the seeds of the Missionaria Protectiva across the known universe, and maybe even the Butlerian Jihad! While we don’t…

Nothing says the holidays quite like Taarna the Taarakian and other iconic figures from legendary imprint, HEAVY METAL. Thankfully for fans, the company is launching a very special (and super limited) holiday line of merchandise that would be absolutely perfect for giftgiving. Or…as in the case of >this< writer, a little something for me. Launching today (November 23rd) the exclusive line of HEAVY METAL items includes things like t-shirts featuring the warrior Taarna, socks with the company’s iconic logo, a warm fuzzy blanket, pjs, and a poster with everyone’s favorite cold, dead, war soldier zombie.

The House of Mouse will see another changing of the guard with former CEO Bob Iger returning to the position, effective immediately. Chairman of the Board Susan Arnold made the news public November 20th with a statement. Iger will return for a contracted term of two years, ousting Bob Chapek, who took over for Iger in 2020. Chapek has been a largely polarizing figure. Some die-hard Disney fans went so far as to launch a petition to fire him in 2021, and are now claiming victory for yesterday’s news. News of Iger’s return spread pretty quickly. Disney stock was up…
