Ok so 2021, despite everything working against it, is actually pulling its weight after only the fifth day. PBS announced earlier today that they were officially cancelling long-running animated series “Caillou.” There was much celebration amongst parents, older siblings, and babysitters. Running since 1997 on PBS and their affiliates, “Caillou” is one of those animated shows you remember from a fever dream.The theme song alone is the stuff of flashback nightmares for anyone with a younger sibling, or who had the unfortunate role of babysitter. Sure, some of the characters and storylines are adorable enough….but…yeah.So long, Caillou and family. It’s….been…

We absolutely love the premise of this series, because who doesn’t love to watch Richard Hammond of “Top Gear” and Tory Belleci of “Mythbusters” do the things they do? Amazon Prime Video just released the first trailer for their upcoming series “The Great Escapists,” which features both Hammond and Belleci living their best “Gillian’s Island” life, but from the point of view of The Professor. Kinda. Inventions, explosions, and general mayhem! Hammond said of the series: “Somebody needs to take hold of Popular Science as a genre and reinvent it for a new age.  And there are only two people…

Wanna see a photo of Wonder Woman during the Crimean War, holding three severed heads? No, this isn’t a trick question.

Sometimes, the world of entertainment journalism is one giant game of telephone. One person reports something with a one-word difference from the source, and suddenly it’s a whole different story. Kinda like the recent kerfuffle about Warner Bros. Pictures planning yet-another “Batman” film, starring previous Dark Knight, Michael Keaton. According to a few outlets, who misread a passage and used it to make up their own news, there was going to be a third Batman on the block. Ben Affleck still counts as the DCEU Batman, especially since he donned the suit again for some of the “Justice League” reshoots…

2020 was a dark time for Marvel Studios fans, the year without a single release. Sure, there were supposed to be, but we all know how that went. There were several notable teases of up-and-coming projects, such as the first of the Disney+ Marvel scripted series, “WandaVision.” This morning the official social media accounts for the show, which will star Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as their “Avengers” characters Wanda Maximoff and Vision, dropped yet another tease, as well as some big news. It appears that each of the confirmed 9 episodes will have a different theme song, written by…

We can all agree that Keanu Reeves is a special kind of magic, right? He has this ability to light up a room, and has an infectious joy that spreads wherever it is he appears. He spoke with the LA Times back in December about the highly anticipated release of CD Projekt Red’s “Cyberpunk 2077” title, and the upcoming blockbuster continuation, “The Matrix 4.” Offering his sage-like advice for how exactly he got through 2020, Reeves is downright optimistic. “Try and respect others. Try and continue to get the most out of life, and find ways to get that in…

However you view filmmaker Patty Jenkins’ latest outing with Warner Bros. Pictures “Wonder Woman 1984,” you’ve got to admire the director’s bravery when it comes to talking about the behind-the-scenes studio drama. In a still very much male-centered studio game, she’s had two superhero tent pole films do very well at the box office, and and has a “Star Wars” title on the horizon. During a recent stop by Marc Maron’ (“GLOW,” person we want most to play Stan Lee) WTF Podcast, Jenkins shared some shocking (but then again maybe not really shocking?) information about what was really going on…

This is a pretty big rumor, as at the time of htis writing, there is exactly one ‘outlet’ running a story about it, with absolutely no sources. The story comes from UK tabloid The Mirror, and claims “Doctor Who” star Jodie Whittaker has quit the series after only 3 seasons as the Time Lord.According to The Mirror: One insider said: “It’s all very hush-hush but it is known on set that Jodie is leaving and they are gearing up for a regeneration.“Her departure is top secret but at some point over the coming months the arrival of the 14th Doctor…

You guys know we absolutely love young rock phenom Nandi Bushell, and anytime she releases a new video, we’re gonna tell you about it. This morning, Bushell really kicked off 2021 with the right energy, covering Blur’s iconic “Song 2.” There was the first time we saw Nandi absolutely KILL a song- Rage Against The Machine’s Guerilla Radio, THEN she challenged Dave Grohl to a drum off (which Dave says she won), and most recently an incredible cover of Muse’s “Hysteria.” Bushell is amazing, and we can’t wait to see her join the all-star lineup for the David Bowie birthday…

We’d like to take a minute to remind everyone it’s only the THIRD DAY of 2021, and we already have our first bit of what the hell news from the entertainment world. Remember when the “Battleship” movie happened, and how everyone was making jokes about what other titles could be next? Things like Hungry Hungry Hippos, Candyland, and even Monopoly? Thanks to Hyde Park Entertainment and Endeavour Content, we’re getting a Rubik’s Cube movie, and a game show? This new project has (we assume) nothing to do with the Saturday morning cartoon from 1984 called Rubik the Amazing Cube, but…
