Nothing quite says the Super Bowl like teasers and trailers, right? Okay maybe that giant bowl of guac and chips in front of you does. And that keg of beer in your buddy’s backyard next to the BBQ.

Two days ago, Paramount Pictures dropped a teaser of a..teaser…for “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” just for the big game. “The world’s favorite blue hedgehog is back for a next-level adventure in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2.

It’s not surprising that a much-anticipated and well-loved property has fans excited. Especially when it’s something like the live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s comic book, “The Sandman.” The series has been in the works for sometime through Netflix, and the small glimpses we’ve gotten have been wonderful.

The author indicated that while principal filming is complete, post production is currently underway. So, make of…

Amazon’s description: Debuting for the first time on 4K, the landmark animated adult musical cult favorite celebrates its 40th anniversary, with a debut on 4K Ultra HD.…

We’re kind of hoping he’ll be bringing Gar Saxon…

If you haven’t noticed, we’re pretty excited about Disney+’s upcoming Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight” series. It’ll star Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector, a seriously complicated character. Today, Empire Magazine released two new magazine covers featuring Moon Knight. One is a still from the series, and the other a poster by the legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz.Personally, we LOVE the Sienkiewicz piece!! Let’s remember it was Sienkiewicz’ cover when Marvel Comics launched the character’s solo title in 1980. So, please check out the two gorgeous covers for Empire’s upcoming February 17th, 2022 issue. The series will hit Disney+ on March 30th, 2022.
