We knew it was likely a teaser or something for the upcoming “Jurassic World: Dominion” was coming this week. It is, just not the way we were anticipating? Director Colin Trevorrow posted this morning that an extended ‘special preview’ of the 6th film in the “Jurassic Park” franchise would be coming with the theatrical debut of “Fast 9,” the 9th “Fast and Furious” installment. We know from other various teases that this dinotastic flick will feature some feathered creatures this time around, possibly diving into the various theories of dinosaur-to-birds evolution. As far as we can tell, this preview will…

Happy first day of summer, let’s celebrate with a brand new photo from “Shazam! Fury of the Gods!” Director David F. Sandberg shared an image this morning featuring the entire Shazam family! (Yes, obviously it would canonically be the Marvel Family, but that’s an entire legalese thing we’re not gonna get into today.) Zachary Levi is back as Billy Batson aka Shazam, and will be joined by Asher Angel, and Jack Dylan Grazer. Rachel Zegler, Dame Helen Mirren, and Lucy Liu are all joining the sequel. They all look so good! We really love seeing Mary (Grace Fulton) and Shazam Jr. (Adam Brody)!If you’re wondering why…

Today officially marks the first day of summer, and that means it’s blockbuster season. Usually a normal summer would be jam-packed with movie releases, especially ones with tons of action and possible major dollars expected to roll in. 2021 will be different for film enthusiasts, but as theaters slowly reopen and more and more people are getting vaccinated, it’s safer to return to the cinema. This morning, a brand new trailer for “Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins” hit, and we’re pretty excited about the idea of seeing it in a real theater. You can see the first trailer here. The…

Father and son duo Jason Reitman and Ivan Reitman discuss what it’s been like for them to work on “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” together.

We kinda love the idea of “Black Widow” releasing a video of David Harbour telling dad jokes for Father’s Day, so we thought we’d share it with you.Harbour of course is no stranger to playing a dad (“Stranger Things,” anyone?), and we cannot wait to see him in action as Red Guardian.

Remember that episode of “The Simpsons” when Homer finds a box of Animal Crackers from the 60s, and the family wins a free trip to Africa? This is kind of like that, but with less hungry hungry hippos. The New England Aquarium in Boston, MA honored one person’s ‘return anytime’ ticket that was almost 40 years old! On June 11th 2021, Rachel Carle produced a ticket her great aunt Catherine Cappiello had received for the aquarium in the hopes that maybe they’d honor it. Apparently, the last of these types of ‘late gate’ tickets was issued in 1983. “I walked up to…

Marvel Studios’ may have more prequel stories to tell about their heroes. This isn’t really surprising, considering the long histories associated with the Avengers characters. But, if all goes well with the rollout of “Black Widow,” fans can possibly expect to see more of that kind of film. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige addressed the possibility during the recent virtual press junket for “Black Widow,” not really saying for sure, but getting as close as someone in his position can. He was asked if fans could expect to see additional prequel or backstory films (or even Disney+ shows) in the…

We’re no strangers to the fast paced world of collecting. Sealing, slabbing, and rating of comics and other collectibles is something we love to cover, especially when it’s something rare like a 9.0 Action Comics #1. But sometimes, an item crosses our desk that we’re left scratching our heads about. Like this sealed and rated 9.0 NES Legend of Zelda cartridge Heritage Auctions has. Bidding is still going, so we expect the $87,500 number to continue to go up. Heritage Auctions’ listing for this item reads: A True Grail Among Games The Legend of Zelda – Wata 9.0 A Sealed…

We’re deep into grill and cookout season. Summer is rolling right along, and with the reopening of most states well underway, we have to assume some family and friend BBQs are on the way. Corn on the cob is a staple of these al fresco cooking and dining experiences, and with it comes the age old question: what can I do to butter this cob easier?Enter this very strange and mostly obscene ‘invention,’ The Cob Quickly. Yeah ok so it’s not REAL, but it’s pretty hilarious. If you are looking for something to help with buttering YOUR cob *giggity*, check…

The Space Siblings brought together by George Lucas in 1977 bonded. We all know this. All you have to do is watch early interview footage of “Star Wars” icons Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher to see that. A special friendship, a special love. Just last week, it was announced that at long last, Fisher would be granted one of the ultimate Hollywood honors- a star with her name on it along the storied Walk of Fame. Shortly after her death in 2016, Hamill lead the charge to get her fast tracked for a star. The process is long and complicated,…
