Earlier this morning, it was revealed that due to several problematic practices, policies, and continual shirking of responsibilities by the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association), that NBC would no longer host and air the Golden Globes award ceremony.The HFPA has just issued a statement addressing (kinda) the situation, vowing that “implementing transformational changes as quickly – and as thoughtfully – as possible” is a stop priority. Regardless of the next air date of the Golden Globes, implementing transformational changes as quickly – and as thoughtfully – as possible remains the top priority for our organization. We invite our partners in the…

We are so absolutely delighted to share the news that “Mystery Science Theater 3000” has hit their fundraising goal. Not only did they hit the original number they were hoping for- they completely surpassed it. At a final count of $6,519,019 fans can look forward to a full 12-episode season, bonus episode, and the Gizmoplex portal which will host the new episodes, classic episodes, live events and more. We have to imagine “MST3K” creator Joel Hodgson and co are giddy with this news. Hell, even Joel Robinson is returning to host 2 episodes! Io9 reports that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy,…
Think of this news as more evidence of nature healing itself. Perhaps one of our favorite spooky season things in Los Angeles is returning in 2021, and we couldn’t be happier! Danny Elfman, rock star, musician, composer and performer, is bringing the live “The Nightmare Before Christmas” concert experience back! Announced this morning, the event is currently slated October 29th, 2021 at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. Elfman himself hasn’t been a part of the holiday tradition since 2018’s three-day event at the Hollywood Bowl. He was expected to return for the 2020 show, but. You know.…
Earlier this morning, Marvel Studios revealed a new set of character posters for their upcoming film “Black Widow.” Yeah, this poor film has been pushed back more times than almost any title during the pandemic; even more than “Dune!” At long last though, we’re just under two months from seeing this flick finally hit theaters. Lets take a look at who was included in today’s poster drop- O-T Fagbenle (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) as Nick Mason. Mason is a Marvel Comics character who is usually associated with S.H.I.E.L.D., and just might be a possible romance interest for Natascha. Taskmaster. We’re not…
Mondays are for trailers and news. The much anticipated Sony Pictures film “Venom: Let Their Be Carnage” has a new trailer out, and we’re pretty excited. Starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, this Spider-Man adjacent sequel sure looks promising. If you’d missed the news- Andy Serkis is directing, from a script by Kelly Marcel. (Hardy and Marcel wrote the story.) Michelle Williams is back as Anne Weyin. As teased by the end of “Venom,” we’ll FINALLY get to see Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady / Carnage. Naomie Harris is on cast as well, and is playing Shriek, the…
As much as we thought this “Saturday Night Live” sketch was a fever dream…we assure you, it wasn’t. Imagine one billionaire Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, as Wario. For those unfamiliar with Super Mario Bros. and it’s offshoots, Wario is the “evil” Mario. Yes, there’s an evil Luigi too- Waluigi. The sketch in question takes place in a courtroom, where Luigi (Kyle Mooney) is on trial for the death of his brother, Mario. As ridiculous as this sounds on paper, it wasn’t terrible? At least in my house- there was understanding laughter. Mostly because my family LOVES…
We’re not sure how we feel about this most recent episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Host Elon Musk was actually….not the worst? We’re as shocked as anyone, because we were absolutely expecting the episode to be a shi*tshow, for lack of a better term. We’d go so far as to say Musk is one of the better hosts from the last few seasons. But, what we’re really here to talk about is the return of Kyle Mooney as Baby Yoda during the Weekend Update segment. Taking potshots at Jake and Logan Paul as well as MMA, Baby Yoda had some…
If you still need to get yourself a Covid-19 vaccine and are waaaay into Dracula, have we got some news for you! Imagine being able to get your shot at the GORGEOUS (and spooky) Bran Castle in Romania! Perhaps you’d know it best as Dracula’s Castle, seat of Vlad Tepes’ bloody empire.Offering the Pfizer vaccine, residents can get jabbed in this 14th century castle, surrounded by 52 torture devices. Alexandru Priscu, the castle’s marketing director, said of the idea: “The idea… was to show how people got jabbed 500-600 years ago in Europe.”No confirmation that side effects include sensitivity to…
We’re not sure what to say about Hulu’s upcoming Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson project. Namely, why they wanted to tell this particular story of the Lees and the infamous sex tape. But even more than that, the absolutely BRILLIANT casting of Sebastian Stan as Tommy and Lily James as Pamela. Hulu released two first look images of the pair: “Pam and Tommy” also stars Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spencer Granese, and Mozhan Marnò. Rogen will play Rand Gauthier, the man who stole and sold the tape.We don’t have a release date yet.
Fans are still hopeful that Sony’s upcoming “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” will be worth the wait. After several delays due to the ongoing worldwide pandemic, this could be the big film to bring people back to theaters. Touting a writer/director with strong familial ties to the original franchise, “Afterlife” has a lot of positives already.Earlier today, original “Ghostbusters” star Dan Aykroyd tweeted this pretty promising message: “Exhilarating. Shows the work of a true master.” Sure, it’s also an add for Crystal Head Vodka, but we can’t really blame him for that. It *is* a pretty solid base spirit. The Jason mentioned by…
