After a deadly incident a Texas music festival in which 8 people lost their lives, production company Live Nation and headliner Travis Scott are being sued. Called “a predictable tragedy” by festival attendee Manuel Souza, the suit alleges organizers ignored signs throughout the event of a possible problem.50,000 people attended the Houston event, which was named after an album of Scott’s. While the exact timeline is unclear, we do know the basics. When headliner Scott took the main stage, a large portion of the audience surged, causing a bigger-than-average human stampede. This resulted in hundreds (if not thousands) of bodies…

We know November just kicked off, but that means it’s the PERFECT time to start shopping for holiday ornaments. And what better place to look than Hallmark? We have to say, there are some pretty great offerings this year. Especially if you decorate your tree with a nerdy flair. Boba Fett’s Throne As you’ll recall, at the end of season 2 of “The Mandalorian,” we see notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett in a new place of honor- the throne in Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tatooine! We’ll be seeing Fett in his solo series next month, “The Book of Boba…

We want to say outright that we’re not sure why Emilio Estevez, star of the original “The Mighty Ducks” film, can’t or won’t get the readily-available COVID-19 vaccine. Maybe he’s one of the very few who cannot, due to whatever reason medically. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to. We’re kind of hoping it’s the former reason. That said, Disney+ has opted not to renew Estevez’s contract for season 2 of “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,” because of his vaccination status. Reports indicate a lot of “back and forth” with Estevez’s team on the subject, but ultimately came to this…

While we’re still not sure why the neck Netflix wouldn’t pick November 11th, 2021 as their official “Stranger Things” Day, we’re pretty excited it’s happening.

In a world where “The Sandman” has an absolutely amazing Audiobook, it makes perfect sense for another beloved graphic novel/anime to get the same treatment. This brings us to Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano’s “Vampire Hunter D” the audiobook in three volumes! The only real downside? We don’t know who the voice cast is yet. Vampire Hunter D: Volume 1 12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll;…

80s hair metal is a genre into itself. Toss in the hilarious Brian Baumgartner, some uber Christian lyrics, and you’ve got “Electric Jesus.” “When a flashy promoter (played by Brian Baumgartner, The Office) sells sound man Erik (Andrew Eakle) and his favorite local Christian hair metal band, 316, on the promise of a bus tour in the summer of 1986, their desire to “make Jesus famous” meets the complexities and confusion of personal ambition, religious conviction, youthful zeal, lifelong friendships, and first love.” You can even check out some of 316’s songs! Chris White writes and directs “Electric Jesus,” which is…

At long last, the leads for the much anticipated movie version of musical “Wicked” have been named. It would appear that Oscar nominee Cynthia Ervio will star as Elphaba, and Arianna Grande will star as Glinda!”Crazy Rich Asians” director Jon M. Chu will helm “Wicked” for Universal.

First and foremost, the filmmakers behind this project are maybe a little behind in the times. Assuming “kids these days” don’t understand the craziness that comes with getting a new video game system is dated. We say this, having watched the Nintendo Switch be unavailable for months, as well as the rollout of the PlayStation 5. Sure, not the same thing really with all the entertainment options around, but. Seriously. Kids understand better than we think. All that said, “8-Bit Christmas” looks to be one of those nostalgia bombs aimed at telling a story the entire family can at least…

This is perhaps some of the most interesting news we’re likely to get this week. Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “What We Do In The Shadows”) has a new film project in the works. He’ll be adapting Alejandro Jodorwosky and Moebius’s graphic novel, The Incal. Talk about some iconic artwork. One of our favorite things about The Incal is it includes A LOT of the concepts from Jodorowsky’s doomed but incredible “Dune” project that Moebius did the art for. There are aliens and humanoids, fantastical space opera elements, all the things kids go wild for. While we ourselves do not condone…
