We very much enjoyed Kevin Smith’s take on “Masters of the Universe” for Netflix. The animated series, “Masters of the Universe: Revelation,” boasted an incredible voice cast, and one of our favorite working composers. Emmy winner Bear McCreary created the score for the series, and has said it was a dream come true. We highly suggest reading McCreary’s in-depth blog about the experience on his website here.”Masters of the Universe: Revelation” part 2 hits Netflix this coming week. The pair of Smith and McCreary wanted to share some of their enthusiasm about the project with fans. So, enjoy this chat…

Tom Holland, adorable actor and source of spoilers extraordinaire, has done it again. The Brit has a history of ‘accidentally’ spoiling things about his films through his infectious exuberance. Not that we blame him, because imagine having his career and NOT wanting to enthuse about everything. This most recent slip comes after the new “Spider-Man: No Way Home” trailer hit. A key moment in said trailer seems to showcase villain The Lizard getting punched by an invisible force. Fan theories all seem to agree maybe the punch-thrower might be one of the previous Spider-Man actors rumored to appear in the…

Betcha thought we were done writing about “Dune,” huh? Much like Muad’Dib’s holy war, WE’LL NEVER BE DONE! Especially when 2021 retelling director Denis Villeneuve continues to drop details in interviews. Like today’s tidbit- those beautifully designed white-helmet wearing CHOAM Spacing Guild reps on Caladan weren’t Guild Navigators. If you’ll recall, in the first 10 minutes of this new version of Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction tale, a delegation from the Paddishaw Emperor Shaddam IV comes to House Atreides homeworld of Caladan. The reason? To officially offer stewardship of planet Arrakis to Duke Leto, taking over from the notorious House…

This story is developing….

While the official Disney fanclub event D23 was pushed back to 2022, the wait may be worth it. Earlier today, the worldwide organization released a glimpse into what attendees can expect from the convention. Taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center mere steps from Disneyland in California, House of Mouse enthusiasts can look forward to all kinds of great things. WALT’S MARCELINE: Walt Disney frequently cited this charming Missouri town where he spent his early childhood as one of his greatest influences. In fact, its lovely main thoroughfare was an inspiration for Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A. D23 Members will have…

90s kids may or may not remember the animated “Earthworm Jim” series based on the video game of the same name. Not your average hero, Jim was in fact an earthworm, who managed to find a supersuit that fell from the sky. His entire backstory is explained in the original cartoon’s super-catchy theme song. Turns out there is still an interest in the character, despite issues surrounding creator Doug TenNapel. (Polygon points out no mention of TenNapel in the announcement for the new series, and is waiting for an official comment.)Interplay Entertainment Corp. (who currently hold the rights) are actively…

We are very sad to report that Dave Frishberg, prolific songwriter for the influential animated series “Schoolhouse! Rock,” has passed away. A multi-Grammy nominee, Frishberg was an accomplished jazz pianist. His work was performed by such notable stars as Rosemary Clooney, Shirley Horn, Anita O’Day, Michael Feinstein, Diana Krall, and Mel Tormé just to name a few.We hate to relegate someone of Frishberg’s talent and career to one hit, but “Schoolhouse Rock!” track “I’m Just a Bill” is just too iconic not to highlight. Frishberg’s passing was confirmed to the New York Times by his wife, April Magnusson. He was…

It was truly the end of an era when Bob Iger left his position as CEO of Disney. It was also kind of surprising, as the company was seeing massive growth and success across pretty much every facet. The parks were boasting record-breaking attendance, the launch of Disney+, and more. But, Iger had planned to depart the House of Mouse, and nothing was going to stop him. Iger’s replacement, Bob Chapek, has deep roots in the company. He started with Buena Vista Home Entertainment as the President of Marketing, and worked his way up from there. In 2015, he was…

Get ready for more “Reno 911” as Thomas Lennon and co are back in an all-new special for Paramount+. Why that particular streaming service home, we’re not sure, as the various seasons of the show are spread across three other platforms. Seasons 1-6 are on HBO Max, season 7 was housed on Quibi (before that service went poof), only to be picked up by The Roku Channel for season 8. According to Variety, “Reno 911: The Hunt for QAnon” “follows the deputies of the Reno Sheriff’s Department as they hunt for Q, the one behind all the QAnon conspiracies. Their efforts…
