Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams of Georgia has joined “Star Trek!” The outspoken politician at the forefront of protecting voter’s rights in the southern state appeared on the season 4 finale of “Star Trek: Discovery.” The Paramount+ series featured Abrams as the President of United Earth. “We were fanning out the whole time, just trying to cover it up, trying to be cool,” series star Sonequa Martin-Green told Variety. “We adopted her so fast. We were like, ‘You’re “Star Trek” family forever now.’ She was just so comfortable with what she was doing, and knew exactly how to be and where…

This just in-Sounds like Irish pop/rock sensation U2 are getting the “Bohemian Rhapsody” biopic series treatment. We say “Bohemian Rhapsody” because the same writer, Anthony McCarten, will also pen this project. JJ Abrams and Bad Robot are reportedly producing the U2 project, which will be housed on Netflix. At present, there are no details about how much Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. will actually be involved. Here’s hoping this series doesn’t run into the same issues as the Billy Joel one currently in production- which doesn’t have the rights to Joel’s likeness or his musical catalog.…

Never forget an actual branch of the United States military was sued by Netflix for copyright infringement. And lost, at least in certain territories. That said, the ‘actual real’ Space Force continues to move ahead, complete with unit emblems and slogans. One Twitter user posted a thread recently, showing off each branch’s emblems. They’re about as ridiculous as you can imagine. It’s worth looking through the entire thing. And also, don’t forget the ‘official’ Space Force logo, which looks /sarcasm strangely like the ol “Star Trek” Starfleet logo. Seasons 1-2 of “Space Force” are available to stream on Netflix. Hopeful…

We still can’t get over the fact that eventually, next year even, we’ll get another live action “Dungeons & Dragons” movie. This time, it’s gotta be good…right? RIGHT? With a cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Regé-Jean Page, there’s maybe a sliver of a chance?At least we know Chris Pine looks good in armor, and is comfortable with a sword. Speaking of Pine, he just recently chatted with Collider, and described the ol’ “D&D” live-action film as a mix of several other titles. And it’s got us even more hopeful. ” I will say is we had a…

We are delighted to share the news that Harvey Guillén (“What We Do In The Shadows”) has joined “Harley Quinn!” Season 3 of the HBO Max animated series will feature Guillén as the voice of Nightwing. He’ll also be appearing in Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming DC Comics live action film “Blue Beetle.”We’re not sure if this’ll be Dick Grayson Nightwing or another iteration. But we’re excited, nevertheless. Earlier this week, it was revealed that James Gunn would be featured in s3 of “Harley Quinn” as well, as himself. The HBO Max animated show features Kaley Cuoco as Harley, Lake Bell as Poison Ivy, Cheryl,…

There is something really amazing about seeing iconic cars and vehicles up close. True, you can’t, you know, DRIVE them, but standing next to something like the Batmobile from Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman” is pretty freaking awesome. We were lucky enough to be invited to check out some of the new exhibits currently on display at the famed Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. For gearheads and car aficionados, the Petersen is an incredible experience. Treat yourself to The Vault (an additional fee but well worth) it to see motor history. There are many signs that remind you no…

This just in-it would appear that Eric Bogosian (“Uncut Gems,” “Succession”) has joined the undead. Well, kind of. AMC has announced Bogosian as part of the cast of their upcoming “Interview With a Vampire,” based on the works of the late great Anne Rice.AMC says Bogosian will play reporter Daniel Molloy, who conducts the interview with Louis. Fans of “Interview” will recall Christian Slater played the character of Daniel in the 1994 feature film. While Bogosian is a tremendous actor- he remains my #1 choice to play the late Anthony Bourdain in a project- he is most assuredly NOT how…

Into every generation a slayer is born. While thinking of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” series, it’s hard to separate the actual show from the creator. Kinda like “Harry Potter” and that mysterious author who we’d rather not name. But one things’ for certain, the cultural impact of the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring “Buffy” is still felt today. While speaking with author Evan Ross Katz about their new book “Into Every Generation A Slayer Is Born,” Gellar answered the almost ever-present question- if “Buffy” to were to get rebooted, who would she want to see as the Slayer?“I vote Zendaya,” Gellar answered.…

Pixar’s hit animated “Cars” films are pretty great. Enjoyable, humorous, celebrations of fast vehicles- all good things. Imagine our delight at learning Pixar and Porsche are teaming up to build a real life “Cars” character!Sally, voiced by Bonnie Hunt, is a sleek Porsche Carrera in the films.  The luxury car brand is currently in process of building a 992 Porsche 911 styled exactly like Sally. She’ll be street legal, and gorgeous. This will be a one of a kind build, which will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s later this year. All proceeds will go to Girls Inc., which aims to build mentorship…
